| SACD Opinions: Gimmick? Like it? Don't? Why? Some of the % of differences everyone is hearing comes down to the system. I have the Sony SCD-777ES along with Pass Labs X-1 and X-250 along with B&W matrix 803s. I have been auditioning speakers in my system and now have a pair of Talon Rave... | |
| Tube pre/linestage to use w/Plinius SA100 Mk.III I heard a system with the ARC CDP-3 ARC LS-25 MKII B&W N802s and SA-102 and it was killer, the LS-25 bettered my BAT VK-30SE in dynamics also. You may also try to see if you can get to audition the Art Audio Gill line stage preamp, it is a ver... | |

| Which universal player: DV-50 or Trivista? The TriVista is one of the best SACD/CD players that I have heard. You need to put so weight on the top of the player as the top metal is a little thin. It has a very sweet sound adn I prefered it over the Levinson 390. I never heard the DV-50.Hap... | |

| Verity Fidelio, Alon Lotus Elite & Merlin VSM-M? Lotus Elite Signatures are some of the finest sound I have ever heard. I agree with the other info provided on your other two choices.Happy Listening. | |
| Feedback/Ideas for New Magazine? Bound for Sound is a mag that I read that I feel is somewhat true to the point and no advertising. Your idea is OK but you will not make a living at it and getting in equipment is difficult unless you have connections. I personally know many of th... | |

| It's No Fun Being a Guru Anymore Funny, I have found the same sound at dealers with all the equipment in the world to make a system sound musical at the least. I recently heard a new speaker line made by a very well known cable manufacturer and the guy who set up the audition for... |
