After following along with Jim's "MP3 vs. Redbook" thread in this section and this other thread Classical MP3s audiophiles over in the Classical music section, along with all the various links and sidebars, I've come to the conclusion that with the advent of computer audio and compressed music files we've taken a big step backwards into the world of snake oil salesmanship.

Has anyone heard the Jolida J100A CD Player ? Is it good ?

I'd be happy to blog it for Stereophile...on assignment.

Hi all! I am new to this site. I am looking for info on a pre amp DAC combo made by Burmester Co. from Germany in the early 1990's. The model 870 II. I have heard their Pre amps are wonderful but what is this unit all about. Thanks Larry
