Just a quick question. What is the difference between Stereophile Magazine, and their also-owned Ultimate A/V Magazine? Is the latter for less-expensive products? Is one more trustworthy than the other?
Hi guys, so here's the deal: I have several new components and a box full of brand new powercords, XLR, and RCA interconnects. I need to burn/break them in as soon as possible so I can fully enjoy what they all have to offer. My question then, is whether this will work by having multiple...
Hi all, I'm now in the market for what I will use stricly as an SACD/DVD-A player.* I will not be using it for CD playback, or DVD playback of any sort.* I was wondering who owns one of these units, and what the differences are between last year's flagship model, and this year's. As far as I...
From my understanding, CD players/multichangers can be used 1 of 2 ways. 1) As a transport. 2) As a player utilizing it's own internal DAC's. As such, this basically means that by using digital interconnects (optical or coaxial) between the CD player and the receiver/preamp, the CD...
I am looking for a Classe CDP-10 CD Player. I understand this is a discontinued model. Please contact me via email (I don't check my PM's very often). - Nicholas

Hi everyone. I have been doing some research and I've read alot of things about PS Audio's power plant AC regenerators. I was wondering if anybody here uses the P300, P500, P1000, or P1200, and if they truly made your dreams come true, or perhaps made only a slight difference. I only became...
My question is kind of 2 fold. The first deals with Monster Power units, the second with Parasound HALO. 1) I have the HTPS 7000 and HTS 2600. I connect the 2600 to the 7000 using the supplied 12 volt trigger. However, the 2600 only seems to turn on and off when the 7000 does, only WHEN THE...
I read that in the Monster Power HTPS 7000 (and probably all other power center units for that matter), the inputs dedicated for poweramps offer no filtering for balanced output. Does that mean I paid $1200 for nothing more than a surge protector???
Has anyone heard the new Klipsch RF-25 or 35's? I'm kinda pissed since I just bought my RF-3II's a few months ago, and now they supposedly have speakers that are better.
