I'm looking at a B&W HTM2D on eBay and am wondering how much it is worth. It is at $500 right now and the auction says it sells for $4000!! I looked it up on the B&W site and it looks really awesome but want to make sure before I bid on it. What is a good price for these?? Please respond if you have any input about it.

Guess I might have to buy an iPod. Actually, these are my new computer speakers, but they would make great iPod speakers. Seas WT, Alesis amps. Green Corian baffle.

I'm tantalized by the "Recording of the Month" as it isn't available yet, due Sept 27. So far, the best price I've seen is for preorder at artistdirect.com.

How does the new "Thelonious Monk Quartet with John Coltrane- At Carnegie Hall" compare to "Thelonious Monk and John Coltrane" recently released (SACD Hybrid) on Jazzland/Fantasy?

One of the reasons I stopped bothering with RAO was the place was flooded with acrimonious posts on this topic.

The topic of DBT (ABX, whatever) is a wee bit like Sex, Politics and Religion - nice to have, but don't discuss them - people's views are too ingrained to permit any rational discussion, let alone any sensible compromise.

Relegating this topic to its own forum would permit those that so desire, to continue the endless debate, while the rest of us that really couldn't give a continental damn, would not have to wade through a gazillion posts.

Hi,
I have some clicks or cracks that happen occasionnally with the external DAC Musical Fidelity A3 24 during playback, it didn't happen before. I checked the DVD player, SPDIF cable, power cable and analog cables, everything is ok. Is it reported problem and is there a rather cheap solution ?
Thanks for your replies.

Pro Audio has been using multiband equalizers for years to tune theater venues. Recently, I spent $300.00 on a Behringer DEQ2496 and was surprised at how effective it was. Also corrected were some annoying peaks in my BG RD75 ribbon loudspeakers. The automated system took care of the upper ranges and I manually tamed some of the bass problems out. As far as I could hear the insertion of this excellant equipment had no detectable degrading effects. I am using the electronic crossover, Behringer DCX2496, as well with excellant results.

happy to discuss with you...

In my world there is a clear difference of sound among Cd-players. However there tend to bee small differences in measurments, two players can have very simular measurments but completly different sound and vicevers. What is measurements telling us?
What we prefer is individual, some like bombastic sound and others more mellow/smooth sound.
Some people are convinced that there is absolutly no difference in Cd-players and, if there is, it

Looking at the list it's easy to see why people got out of vinyl...

And these are belt drives too. The 12000 $ one ran 1% slow in the review... The Linn needs a 3000 $ power supply to get half way decent wow and flutter spec but is still a class A table. the 30000 SME needs a tonearm... With the VPI you have to pay extra to get an acceptable spindle bearing..
In the C Class there are lots of compromises in the reviews, but the median unit is only 1100 $, what can you expect for that small an investment.
