I'm looking to upgrade my vinyl rig, while trying to keep the price under about $1500. I've found some pretty good deals on both of these 'tables and am interested to hear experiences/opinions on either of these models.

Thanks!!

Well I've just purchased some Ultrasone HFI DVD headphones. After doing research on what quality really means, I've come to the conclusion that my 192kbps WMA files from yahoo music are "good" but not the same thing as true CD quality so its back to CD's for me.

hi there. so i'm looking for a decent pair of active studio monitors that are going to be used solely for music listening on the computer.

i've read several reviews about these kind of speakers and i just can't decide at all:

-how's the bass response on those speakers? i'm used to those cheap 2.1 systems with a "subwoofer". i don't want a subwoofer but also i fear that studio monitors won't have enough bass "punch".

-what brands would you recommend me? i was thinking on M-Audio, Event and Behringer. the M-Audio DX4's are probably the ones i would choose right now.

Hi, im in the market for reasonably priced, good sounding integrated amplifier. A friend of a friend offered the C372 at a discount and i was wondering if anybody in this forum has something to say about this amp.

Thanks

I've been thinking about this whole debate between the "objectivists" and "subjectivists" movements that seem to permeate the audiophile ranks and the more I think about it, the less sense it makes to be on either side of the debate.

As I see it, the objectivist movement tries to establish some sort of objective criteria upon which all equipment judging is based, with the "live" sound being the objective standard.

Question:

What is/was the "Aphex Aural Exciter System"? Which was used on some of those great sounding Linda Ronstadt LPs of the 1970s.
