    NAD CD C545BEE - what do you think?

    Hello, At the moment I have a NAD C521i CD player (+-8 years old?). I have an opportunity to get a newish C545BEE at a "good price" (R2500-R3000). Is it worth it? The new list price is almost double, and it received good reviews, and it's much newer than the 521i, but I don't know if the money...

    Valve Audio Predator for charity

    Hello, Unless there is some announcement being worked on in the back ground, this idea seems to have died.  :( This fund raising raffle needs only one thing to get off the ground - and that is a single person who says "we can do this, I'll run with it!"  I'm not that person, but I am sure...

    ported versus closed design (speakers)

    Hi, I seem to remember that when I was interested in speaker design & building about 15 years ago (by the way, anyone interested in Vance Dickason's "loudspeaker design cookbook"?), a closed design was preferred by many. If I recall it provides a more gentle bass roll off, whereas a ported box...
