Will this combo be a substancial leap in sound over the stock 1 using Proac 1S? Or should I try the Nait 5i? Proac reccommends using a stingray or sugden. Any thought? Thanks SUCH

Personally, I never heard of it. I was just browsing to see what was the current equivalent of the discontinued Klipsch Heresy II. BTW, that would be the Klipsch Heresy III.

Any opinions on that one as well?

Most CD players these days aimed at the "audiophile" market are all single disc players. Can anyone recommend a good higher end multidisc player? I'm thinking I'd like a 5 CD carousel, but am open to other excellent sounding configurations. Currently, I'm planning on using a NAD C372 integrated for power and Mission 775 floorstanders for a simple system in my living room.

Hola,

Has anybody looked at the odds for inclusion on the Recommended Components when a component has been reviewed?

I'd be curious to see.

50%?

80%?

My guess would be 75% for "formally reviewed" components.

Lower for "column reviewed" components, like from Analog Corner, Fifth Element, Sam's Corner, etc...

I just procured one of these objects for the first time,having been aware of their existence for many years(~10?). I recall that it spent many of those years on the Recommend Components list, even earning the "star" (longevity) designation. Now in the Oct 2006 issue it has made it to the Deletions section as "no longer recommended". Usually I see a product as "not tried in a while" or such but "no longer recommended" intrigues me. Does anyone know what gives here?
