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.

Pat Metheny returns to "real" jazz once again with his latest trio release Day Trip

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.

Anyone have an opinion on the various brands of contact cleaner out there. I am an audiophile who gets his system as he likes it and then does not play with it for years. The last time I was involved in a system changeout, I used Craigs pro gold. Before that, going way back as I was out the the country for a decade, I used something called Kontak (sp?) which I really liked.
