Hi everyone. I'm new here, and this is my first post. I've been lurking and reading as much as I could on the site over the past two months. Still learning. But I think I'm ready to purchase my first pieces for a system. Please critique and advise.

Receiver - Outlaw RR2150
Speakers - KEF iQ3
DVD/CD Player - OPPO DV-980H

My room is about 15' x 15'. I listen to jazz, classical, rock, punk, and rap.

are the grados sr80 headphones really all their hyped up to be? or is it a huge elaborate scam?

Based only on your PERSONAL OPINION, do you prefer analog or digital?
And which do you feel has better sound quality, regardless of which you prefer?

I own a NAD 320BEE Integrated Amplifier. I wish to upgrade the interconnect cables (not sure if this is the correct term). I'm not referring to the cables between the amp and the CD player; rather I am referring to the little 6-inch cable that runs between (I assume) the pre-amp and the amp that is built into the same unit.

Question:

(1) Recommendations in the $100 range?
(2) Are these the same "interconnect" cables that run between my intergrated amp and CD player?

Vinyl May Be Final Nail in CD's Coffin

Well OK a rather hyperbolic caption I'll admit but good news for vinyl fans and for 2-channel home audio in general.

The bit about "size and presence of the artwork" really makes sense to me, i.e.:

After a period of work-enforced absence from the boards I was sucked back into this thread over on the Sonos forum concerning how to get the best out of a Sonos system used as a digital front-end, and how to deal with that perennial digital bugbear jitter.

One of the other forum members asked a couple of very simple questions I had great difficulty answering.
