CD-RW works on Sony 9000ES
Abstract, Please keep us posted. I plan to get a 9000ES soon, CD-RW or not, but it would sure be nice to find a "workaround". 
CD-RW works on Sony 9000ES
Could it be that the CD burner you are using is in some way compatible with the Sony, and not necessarily the discs themselves? 
Too snobbish for SACD as it exists?
Hi Jim, couldn't find you in the member directory. I noticed that you have had a few modifications done to your 9000ES, and I was wondering if you would be kind enough to give me a few details as to who performed the mods, what they cost, and what... 
Too snobbish for SACD as it exists?
Greetings to all here.I am considering a switch to the Sony DVP-9000ES this month. I know of the compromises involved with the Genesis chip having a red chroma problem, but felt that it is probably as good, or better than any other mass manufactur... 
Home theater advice?
Marsh, I recommend the Salamander Synergy 3 shelf rack (added a fourth). You can expand if necessary, easily move shelves, add sand or shot to the pillars if you want for damping (but that prevents moving shelves), get a few different choices in c... 
Home theater advice?
Hi Marsh, sounds like you are on the right path, but I would think twice about the Classe' DVD player. I am sure it will be of high quality, and I am a fan of Classe' gear myself, but DVD players are another story. Quite a few of the high end DVD ... 
Why are optical cables jitter prone?
Argent, I am sure you are correct, and that 'tight tolerance" was intended. 
Who's Who in Amp/ Preamp design?
Sean, thanks for the laughs! Martin 
Why are optical cables jitter prone?
Forgot to mention that Robert Stein from The Cable Company told me Audio One does not use any special wire or components, but they assemble their optical cables to "very high tolerances", and evidently it makes a difference in sound quality. I gue... 
Why are optical cables jitter prone?
Hi everyone, Bjack, Danvetc, Just thought to pass along some info. I needed a Toslink cable for my Denon MD-1000 minidisc recorder, as it does not have coax out. Last week I compared 4 cables. The El Cheapo that came with the unit, Monster's$40 mo... 
Is there an SACD that can play cds well?
Albert, I look forward to hearing the results of the 777 vs.9000ES face-off, should that happen. I am considering a switch to a 9000ES and would appreciate any feedback in comparison to other SACD players. To date I have heard the Sony SACD-1, 777... 
TV Image Size when using Sony S570 DVD
Your TV has a 4X3 aspect ratio.You are probably playing a widescreen (16X9 aspect ratio) DVD. This will give you the "letterbox" look. You can check your set up menu on the DVD player and make sure it is set to 4X3. This should solve some of your ... 
Is there an SACD that can play cds well?
Perhaps the Marantz that Czapp auditioned was not fully broken in? The Marantz SACD I heard was excellent, and if I had to ascribe a quality to it I would say if was very detailed with a clear, resolved bass without bloom, but I would not call it ... 
Is there an SACD that can play cds well?
Hi Albert, Whew! thats quite a testimonial. Wish I could have put my Pioneer DV-37 up for evaluation along with the Levinson and the Sony for redbook CD playback. 
loss of bass after filling stands
Hi Mark, thanks for the tip. When I have the time to experiment and get a bit adventurous I will compare both ways of setting up the 805's. One thing about screwing the speakers to the stands, it is such a secure way of mounting the speakers that ...
