    Yamaha AX-592 Near Mint

    Yamaha problem solver Answered my own question..This is a powerful clean sounding piece that powers my BW 804s with ease. Big improvement over my high priced Brit. 90 watt seperate. Seems conservatively rated at 100 watts rms.

    Audio engine rocks!!!!!!!

    This sounds like the way to go.. I was about to buy a USB DAC and plug my laptop into it then DAC into RCA's on preamp. The audio engine solution makes more sense to get the same result.. if I am reading it right or is this different than what I described?

    Rate these 3 CD players...

    I had a Rotel 1070 in my rotation with an Arcam cd192. I sold the Rotel but wish I kept it. It struck me as laid back compared to the Arcam which is in your face style. I liked the Rotel very much and will probably buy another one. On brighter recordings the Rotel was more appealing.
