Good, Inexpensive Sources for CD's
I recommend http://www.dandylionrecords.com as a source for new, used and import cds at exceptional prices. He has a newsletter that come out every week or so with updates. Many cds are from 2-8 dollars. Geff is a honest decent seller and I have b... 
MFSL new vinyl releases?
I picked up the Issac Hayes and the John Lennon, they are both exceptional. The vinyl is extremely quiet and both lps are detailed with an absolute warm analog sound. I felt the Lennon lp was the better sounding of the two. I purchased both of the... 
Cary 303/200 Digital Compatibility With CD-R
I had a Cary 306/200 and it also wouldn't work with my Pioneer and Fostex pro DAT and CD recorders. I talked with Dennis Had of Cary and he thought it was my recorders but they worked with every other dac or cdp. I posted a similar question and a ...

Human hearing is also perceived in a logarithmic scale. 
Vadnerseen 5A crossover outside
The crossovers are battery powered (9 volt) and connect to your amp and the cables connect to the crossover so you really don't need extra cables. By the way I would take Bo with a goatee and sideburns. 
I auditioned SACD today
I have to agree that 7000 lps is too much, just ask my wife. I have been collecting since I was 10 years old and I am now 55. I have about 5000 lps in storage and keep the rest to play. Thank you all for your offers and I will keep you all in mind... 
300B which way to go?
I aggree with Twl, I have had 3 different 300B amps over 10 years matched with horn speakers. The liquid midrange that 300B are known for are best heard with efficient speakers. I gave my horns to my oldest daughter and currently use a push pull t... 
Favorite one box C.D.??
I have owned two of the players on your list, the Cary 306/200 and currently the Audiomeca Mephisto 11.X. I found the Cary an excellent cdp but wanted to go to the next level. I auditioned the Audio Aero Captiole and found it exceptional but was c... 
Does such a preamp exist?
The Jeff Rowland Synergy preamps are balanced and have selective gain. Good luck.

c-j prem 140
I have heard the Conrad Johnson 16LS Series 2 preamp with the 140 amp and it was an excellent combo with exceptional detail at both frequency extremes and a full rich midrange. I have the CJ 16LS 2 myself and looking at a possible amp change to th...

A CD recorder for archiving LP's?
I would look at a Pro unit from Fostex or Tascam. These units have no copy protection and can use the cheaper blank CDR. I have had a Fostex unit for 2 years and it has worked without a flaw. They are a little more expensive but can usually be fou... 
best tube combo for Cary 805c monos
NOS 845 tubes are very difficult to find, RCA are probably at the top of the list but are quite expensive, 800-1000.00 per pair or more.In the 805 the 300B is the driver tube and in my experience the current production Western Electric are the bes...
