The Harley book is a great starting point for someone brand new to this hobby. The forums here and on AudioAsylum are far more valuable to get ideas, advice and solutions to one's specific situation.
Is there a audiophile bible?
I am just getting back into the act here after 15 years of family raising. There is a whole lot of new stuff to absorb. Does any one know of a great source online or book that would go over the basics. For example - why when and how to clean connections? Do all CD players play SACD, does SACD sound better than CD over a two channel system? Are combo DVD and CD players too much of a compromise over separates? I am finding that nearly all reviews of any peice of equipment, cable etc says that the thing is terrific and worth three times as much as the price. Thats sure confusing!
I currently have an Aragon 8008BB amp, 28K preamp, and D2A2 DAC, a ten year old NAK MB1 player, Polk 2.3 Speakers, and Monster M1 interconnect. Thinking of changing speakers as the next upgrade but also wondering about a nice CD transport. Any system enhancement you woudd suggest, staying within the 3 K range at least for the first hit?
