I mostly want it as a line or pre-amp; it likely won't be built for another 3 weeks, I hope to have it by the end of the first week in August. info here (scroll down) http://www.mcalisteraudio.com/products/products.htm Leonard

Anyone know??

I understand gst and also the way you can be ripped off by "brokerage" fees. . . .but is there any duty on cd and or dvd players? (sony & toshiba by brand in case it matters) my quick read of the gov docs seems to indicate that there is not any duty - can anyone confirm or refute this...

which one and why? toshiba <$100 canadian, sony $270 canadian. I built my niece a set of speakers and am supplying her with a T-amp and 'pre-t' Now she needs a cd-player. I like my nad 542 but that is out of the budget. the sony seems well-rated but how much would one give up by...

I am very interested in the B200's, what are you using them in ? is it an open baffle or? also are you using them alone ie- no sub, and if so how is the bottom end? I am very curious about these drivers and would appreciate any info that you could share. thanks Leonard

"Had the poll included an option for the AD2000, which comes in a just a wee bit under $500 (from Price Japan), that may very well have been my top choice!" audiocubes while very good is a bit pricey.

polls are meaningless as since I haven't heard all the options should I even get a vote? also what is source, amp, etc? these definatley enter the equation on a quality and $$$ level. in spite of that, let me say the the AD2000's are very very good.

I have not heard any RS-1's but the AD2000's are just in another category to the HF-1's. I really like mine. I am waiting for a comparison to the new AT-5000's. re- your computer that is odd and the other phones sound OK out of it? I have a Toshiba laptop just now and they sound quite...

have you rec'd them yet? still expecting to ship next week?

someone will likely reply with the proper explanation but you will likely short your amp.

""There's no reason why the Aria's headphone output shouldn't be able to perfectly drive a power amp -- with a corresponding adapter or cable." True, but be aware that almost any DC-couples headphone amplifier like the Aria will show small offset offset voltages at the output. If your...

I thought that I would never buy such an archaic thing again (after the advent of atms over 20 years ago)- but they work handily for this and are not too fee heavy. I think it was an option listed on Jan's site.

Comeon... join team ATOWF, you know you want to! With the new models coming out why not put an extra zero on that model you have and make it the W5000...? I can see this happening Started with at500 now have at-ad2000's will get 5000's as soon as available. thanks guys.
