CD Player Recommendations for Dynaudio speakers
I own the Luxman D-05 and use it with dynaudio 1.3se's. I find the d-05 musical with a wide soundstage but sometimes lacking in bass def. and sound separation. I also run a Rega Saturn which may not be as musical as the Luxman, has tight bass and ...

Any Meat Puppets Fans Out There?
The above bands are some of my favourites as well and a great time and place in music. The small venue shows of the 80's were excellent. I found some the best live performances were by fIREHOSE. The Meat Puppet Rykodisc remasters with extra tracks...

Speakers for Luxman 550 AII
I'm listening to Dynaudio 1.3se's with the 550 a II. 1.3se's come up for sale every month or two for around $1,800. They usually sell quickly so you would have no problem getting your money back if they are not to your taste. I did try Harbeth SHL...
