Hello,
I would like to take advantage of my 4bst preamp's XLR inputs for cd player, however it seems that that cd players with XLR outputs start at 3G, are there others that I may have missed that are less expensive? Right now I am using a $500. Marantz that I bought last year. Thanks.

Hi guys,

checking out the APRIL issue, no comment from CHORD on it's failure to meet it's specs. But it's a GLORIOUS who needs all them extra watts $75,000 product. Let us all remember double the loudness is 10X the power!!! What's a few hundred missing WATTS. Gee, somehow when I went from single to B-AMP now 4 MONO high powered amps, not just volume increase but clarity and CONTROL.

I just saw the following news item: http://stereophile.com/news/032006cornell/

As a current student at Cornell, this is pretty neat. Does anyone have any details about the scheduling of Mike Fremer's presentation? I'd love to go to his presentation (since I love vinyl and am the only Cornell student I know with a turntable), but I'm going to a concert in Syracuse that night...

I have an philips external sound card and I would like to connect my sony subwoofer. The setup I am doing is 2.1 with my amp connecting with a standard stereo 3.5 to the front output on my soundcard. I would next like to use the rca mono input on my subwoofer to connect it to the LFE output on my sound card. My question is, what kind of male connector do i use with the sound card, mono or stereo? And if stereo what cable do i buy to get the signal to that one rca input on the sub.
