| Best integrated for rock music under $1,500? I power the PSB Stratus Bronzes and Minis with a Marantz Reference Series PM-17 integrated amp and Sm-17 power amp. They have 60 watts per channel each and two SM-17s can be bridged for 200w/c. Marantz 17 series reference amps sound great with PSB... | |
| One's trash is someone else's treasure Every day our ethics are tested many times in large and small ways. It's life. I am sure we can all recall times when we have done the right thing and times when we have done the wrong thing. I believe that I would now do what Mrtennis suggested, ... | |

| 2006 BEST Female Vocal CD/SACD/XRCD My new favorite female singer is Nancy LaMott. A night club singer who died recently at 43. Her cd is My Foolish Heart with emotionally charged renderings of many songs from the great American songbook. The song "The Best is Yet to Come" is one of... | |
| HiFi lacking social recognition? As I write this, I am listening to the Goldberg Variations performed by Murray Perahia from beginning to end and am again mesmerized. One issue is that there will always be music lovers, but most people will not take the time to listen to anything... | |
| Any benefits playing SACD's on Standard CD Player? I agree with Pawlowski6132. Many of the SACDs that I have of older works have been remastered and this seems to help the cd layer as well. Of course, they probably also remastered the redbook only version. So, I might look for new remastered cds o... | |
| What? No Norah Jones New CD Thread? I loved her first cd and still listen to it on a regular basis. I especially like the covers of Cold Cold Heart and The Nearness of You, but all of it draws me into the music. I had more trouble connecting to her second cd. I did like the Tom Wait... | |
| Bill Evans Village Vanguard 3CD set The SACD of Waltz for Debbie has the same issues. I've gotten use to it. I figure that was the way that they were placed on the stage. The recording is otherwise excellent. John | |

| Upgrading crossover caps in a PSB Image 5T I can't speak for the PSB Image 5T, but I had my capacitors changed out of my PSB Stratus Bronzes by Audible Improvements in Asheville, NC. They were sounding a bit bright in the treble and a bit boomy in the bass and a bit ragged when pushed. The... | |
| If you had to pay full retail, would you...??? I have had the same system for about 7 years and, though I could've afforded more, I have been quite happy with it. I have heard better speakers and better gear but enjoy music and have chosen to be content. I have done some mild tweeks and may ha... | |
