Best 2 Channel Integrated Used for under 750?
What speakers are you using???I just picked up (from here less than a week ago) a Jolida 102b and I'm just loving it. But before making any recomendations I would need to know a bit about what you have and what you like. 
Dynaudio Confidence C1: looking for speaker cable.
I use the pro 9's with my Special 25's. Have little to no experience with some of the higher priced brands mentioned above... 
Power amp Suggestions for Dunlavy SC-IV
I used to own the Duntech Marquis which had similarities with the SC –IV. (Duntech was Dunlavy’s original company…) I drove them with a vintage McIntosh MC7270 (2x270watts). I would also recommend the MC2255 (2x255w) as an excellent high power vin... 
SACD News Emerson Lake & Palmer
Oh yea thanks for the wonderful memories...One of my first concerts was ELP's "welcome back my friends" tour. My older sister’s boyfriend took me to Madison Square Garden in NYC. I still remember the piano being raised and spun head over heals… An... 
sub for Dynaudio Audience 42
I’m a big fan of McIntosh amps with Dyn’s but it depends on what your needs are. A good friend drives Contour 2.8’s with tube amps (QuickSilver Silver 60’s), but he lives in a modest uptown apartment and isn’t playing at eviction levels. As I said... 
sub for Dynaudio Audience 42
I haven’t heard the Audience 42 but a lot of people really enjoyed that line. I’ve only owned speakers from Dynaudio’s Contour line. And based upon your current setup I don’t think you would enjoy the Special 25... You need big amps to drive them ... 
sub for Dynaudio Audience 42
I'll second the Dynaudio Sub... I have a SUB250 which I use when watching movies in 2 channel with my Special 25's. "Scary good" is a nice way of putting it, Ttowntony. (The Sub250 blows away my Dali Sub with similar spec's...) 
Playstation 3 Blue Ray quality - How good is it ?
As others have suggested I bought mine as a stop-gap measure. It works well for me as I have a young son that will grow into the gaming portion... I get HD (blu-ray) and get to lose my old DVD player.Personally I think streaming HD will be the way... 
Anyone using the Netflix Roku player?
I’ve been a fan of Roku for well over a year using their internet radio and now the Netflex streamer. I joined Netflix based upon their affiliation with Roku. (I have no affiliation with either.)Over all I’m very happy with the product and would r... 
need pre amp suggestion
Try a nice tube preamp on top... the C28 is just OK, and you can do much better for your money. I've used the Audible Illusions Mod3 and mod3a, as well a a CJ premier 3 and premier 14 all of which sounded great with Mac's... Do you need/want a pho... 
If I like Dynaudio monitors, I would LOVE?????
Keep the speakers and change out the amps to really enjoy Dynaudio potential.I’ve got the Silverline SR17 v3, which uses the Esotar tweeter and the Dynaudio dirver… I couldn’t be happier with them. I find them to be very revealing without giving u... 
Good Power Amp for Dynaudio Focus
I've had great success pairing Dynaudio with McIntosh. I'm currently using a MC402 to drive Special 25's and a MC352 to drive Silverline 17's (dynaudio drives similar to 1.3se). I've also used vintage Mac gear (MC7270) to drive Contour 1.8's &...
