| Be consistent with brand? I have only one brand of cable, including interconnect cable (RCA and Balanced), speaker wire, power cords, internal wire in speakers and video and audio runs in my surround sound system. Makes a perfect package for the sound I want. I guess my vo... | |
| Is there an SACD that can play cds well? Hi Dekay and Bmpnyc, I am basically an analog only guy, but I feel pretty good about the 9000 ES, especially when there are enough break in hours on it. Tonight was music night, and along with my usual four or five visitors, a couple that occasion... | |
| Is there an SACD that can play cds well? I recently had a two piece Levinson ( transport + D/A converter ) here for one of our listening sessions. My Sony 9000 ES had barely one hundred and fifty hours on it, and with a selection of redbook CD's, the Sony won so overwhelmingly that the o... | |
| Magneplan as frontspeakers in surrond? I do the same thing, if I understand your response correctly. My electrostatics ( Soundlab U1 ) serve as my stereo system, and also as right and left front in the surround system. As long as you have individual adjustments for each speaker ( your ... | |
| Magneplan as frontspeakers in surrond? Is your question because you use the Magneplaner as your main stereo system speakers and are planning to incorporate surround sound with them? | |
| Which software are you buying?SACD or LP Metaphysics, I need your sources. It is very difficult for me to find new music on LP, and the SACD choices are still very limited. CD is the easiest to find new music on, but I have not bought more than a half dozen in the last three years. My LP... | |
| Which software are you buying?SACD or LP Metaphysics. This is a tough question, depends greatly on your equipment. In my system, there is no doubt LP outperforms both CD and SACD. However, this should not come as any surprise, considering my analog equipment is valued at about thirty fiv... | |
| Please help-cables, interconnects? I would purchase high quality used wire and begin by searching hear at Audiogon. The popular brands like MIT, Purist, Audioquest and Cardis are all highly re sellable, and perhaps even affordable enough to buy more than one at a time to experiment... | |
| Why doesn't that movie star have... I know the Skull guy personally, and have for several years. I was at his home a few months ago listening to his system. He lives just beyond Oakland, North of San Francisco. His is rich in that he has a very beautiful wife, a beautiful audio syst... | |

| Cable "burning": Real or VooDoo ??? 702, you wrote:Albertporter: In what way do I or Stevemj reject "finding what works?" That is preciselyour point, to accurately find what works. I do not fit your profile of the people you know inaudio? I'm okay with that. And I've been involved w... | |
| Musicality" in a system? What IS that ? Everything that is important in describing musicality has been expressed here in one way or another by nearly every poster. I awarded most every post with + votes, admiring how much work went into the thought and emotion expressed. This is exactly... | |
| Help My DAC sounds very noisy..... South43, your comments are sensible, but it appears that you have left your caps lock on. | |
| XLR vs. RCA Jeffloistarca, sounds like you are on the path to success, and done within a sensible budget. True 600 ohm balanced circuits are less likely to be affected by the interconnect connection than with single ended RCA circuits. That is not to say ther... | |
