Okay, so I am signing up to our collective resolution to post more on music so here goes (I may repost and brush up some pieces I posted on Amazon so apologies if you've seen them before). Contributors to this board seem to be incredibly knowledgeable, as well as having tastes spanning an amazingly broad spectrum so I tend to assume that folks have heard everything and read all the reviews. However, in reality everyone's time is finite (well, except for Todd maybe ) and I know this is not the case.

I see what I say here about quality price today.I should say better quality sound for price.

These aspects should say to you to consider to increase the money where the quality sound price is low and decrease where is high for a better sound of solution/price of the system.

cd player:
a very strange situation:the quality is not related to the price.You can give much money with low results and viceversa depending not of the mark but depending of singular product.

Last week, my wife and I began to consider making a change.

Currently we listen to most of our music through iTunes on a 13 year old Aiwa NSX-AV800 system hooked up to my Mac.

As I said I would, I have posted a rather lengthy follow up to my controversial previous post.

I invite your comments and response.

FEW interconnects to screw around with...

It's tubed...

I'll have an excuse to buy an Ipod...

I only see 2 drawbacks - I need a phono stage.

And does anyone know if it will drive my original Advent loudspeakers so I don't have to replace 'em?

(And no, I'm not on my way to college, nor am I the young person Art alludes to in the review...)

I ask you to give more attention to the preamplifier.

To get a true hi-end best buy enter system you need some strong decisions.

As I told about turntable player where you have to invest more in plate and then into the arm and not much in cartridge where is enough a MM costing 70 euro, in the same approach for amplifier you should optimize in this way.

I shock my customers using a 150 power amplifier with a 650 euro pre amplifier,getting fine results better than integrated amplifiers costing 1500 euro or more.
