Sometimes our favorite music sounds like crap, and sometimes the best-sounding work in our collection is an artistic failure, but we keep the thing anyway. Forget about the quality of the music, what percentage of your music collection sounds great?
Hello all. I am in the midst of choosing a budget integrated amp and wanted some opinions from the experts. The contenders are:
1) NEW Cambridge Audio 340A (Top of the budget range)
2) Preowned Cambridge A300 (Bottom of the budget range)
3) Preowned NAD C350 (Middle of the budget range)
4) NEW Jolida JD1701A (Blowing my budget by a little)
Any and all opinions are greatly appreciated. 
My new listening room is shaped like a barn with a flat top (or a Tough Shed). Using my RTA I can see it has far fewer problems than any rectangular room I have been in. (The room has 2 skylights on one side and is 19 X 12.5 X 8.5). I use a DSP to correct a hump at 60hz and a litle 3db help below 40hz and I show flat to 30hz. Could this be the best room shape? With there being 2 side walls and one angled in maybe it's hard to build standing waves?
Hi,
I'm looking to purchase a rack. At the moment, I have an amp and turntable (no speakers, unfortunately, but hey I'm working on it), should they be on the same rack or seperate on different racks?
Is height important for the rack?
Ideally, the rack should be within reaching distance.
These may not be the most appropriate set of questions for this particular board. But it seems like the most appropriate place.
Any help will not go unappreciated.
I need to go from a g4 powerbook to my creek 5350se. I could buy a Benchmark DAC1 for $1300 with USB. I am trying to find a cheaper option that would be close in performance. I am looking at the audiofire products and want to know if anyone has experience with them or if there are any other suggestions out there. I want to have the ability to stream 24bit 96mhz live recordings.
