Best Rock Player... Jupiter?? Can anyone tell me about how the "tubed" Heart 6000 sounds with rock? Is it slow and lazy ? My freind has been reading up on it and seems real jazzed about the . . .	13
Warm sounding speakers for Naim Nait5 & CD5 ?? Thanks.. That's a great idea. I was starting to think about a monitor/sub arrangement. The Rel Storm 3 seems to be an all out favorite for many people. I talked with someone . . .	11

HT system with Best Possible Redbook perfornance D- Thanks for the input.. You have me re-thinking speakers... I've heard Arcam gear and I find the sound a little too dry for me.. I prefer a warmer sound with maybe even a . . .	8
Meridian 508.24 or Levinson 39 ? To me the no39 sounded cold and analytical. I'm still sitting on the fence between a used 508.24 and Cary 303. I do believe they stand alone in the $1500 price point (used). I . . .	8
Aerius i: Will CJ CAV50 or MV55 drive them ok?? Quite a few people have told me that NEITHER the MV55 nor CAV50 (both at 45W) will have enough power. Since I am going to buy used, I can't demo first to make sure. Many have . . .	8

Best speakers for Linn Classik ??? I agree the Ninka will not play loud with the classik but it does sound good together. The smaller Linn monitor speakers are so lean in the bass that I ruled them out	7

Theta Miles VS Resolution Audio CD50 Thanks for the info on other players, but my budget is more in the used Miles or RA CD50 range. These are the two I'd like to know about as far as how they differ in sound. . . .	6
Good "all-in-one" system? Linn Classik?? Someone emailed me and said I should consider a used Rega Planet 2000 and Rega Maria Int amp. This combo is small enough that it might work out sizewise and the price is about the. . .	5
Which is better: Naim Nait 5 or Nait 5i ?? I do not have vinyl but I do prefer a warmer sound so maybe the 5 would be better than the 5i for me. I was hoping to get an all Naim system used off audiogon as follows: Nait 5 . . .	4
Which is best: 1/2 speed, 180g, Jap, Mobile Fid? Thanks so much. I am finding it to be exactly as you say. I asked because it can get real expensive when you buy a Japanese import mint for $50-$60 and then wonder if a MoFi or . . .	4
