    Most overlooked component in a Stereo System?

    I look around these forums...All the questions seem to be directed at speakers and amps, never the actual source. I was just curious how many people have felt they have overlooked their source. I know I'm debating that theory. I use a 775 mid-level Sony SACD player hooked up to a NAD intergrated...

    I placed my order for the LSi9's

    Well after months of comparing I decided to go with the Polk Audio LSi9's. It will take 2-4weeks to get them as I am buying direct from Polk. I never did quite like the SonyES setup I heard them on, but the speakers were good. If not underpowered. I still have that sense of audio snobbery in the...

    Speakers or First Source?

    Many people have debated which should be the primary focus when building an audio system. Ideally balance is everything, but few systems have complete balance. Resources are often limited and one part of the chain is usally neglected. Most agree that if money were to be invested more in one...
