| Sony SACD Monsters: Already Obsolete? Joyful sound,Pioneer has a SACD/DVD -A player thatcosts just under $5000. I went to their USA website,but it was not listed here yet. | |
| HDTV Set Top Box Hi Angela, you must have both. If the TV can display in progressive scan, then the DVD player must send the signal in progressive form in the first place, otherwise you will be watching movies with the built in line doubler, which is not too shabb... | |
| HDTV Set Top Box Hi Angela, yes, that Toshiba is damn good. I really enjoy the line doubling for basic TV watching, great black level. Actually sounds good as well! I will keep my eyes and ears open in regards to any developments in HDTV broadcasts. I wish the cab... | |
| Cable "burning": Real or VooDoo ??? Th XLO "burn-in" CD reduced my burn in time considerably. From around an average of 150 hours to 90 hours. I run my system around 14 hours a day when breaking in a new cable. | |
| How much does your system retail for? Approximately $16,000 and soon to be $22,000. Albert and Kelly, now you've given me a new perspective. Wow! | |
| Digital cable recommendations? Phild, I tried 6 different coax cables. Ensemble Digiflux, XLO, Monster, and Harmonic Technologies' Cyberlink Copper, Silver and Platinum. The Ensemble was incredibly smooth, but was just too "liquid" in my system. The XLO was voiced nicely, but w... | |

| MiniDisc and external DACs Martice, I listened to the MD players at Sound City (45th between 5&6 Avenues, NYC) They are not renowned for quality service, and I doubt if they have such an array of MD players ready for comparing as they happened to have when I chanced by.... | |
| MiniDisc and external DACs Martice, I am not experienced with using a DAC with a MD player, but I thought to pass on my experience when I bought my Denon MD-1000. I was able to try six different brands of MD players, and they were mostly very good, but the Denon was in a di... | |
| Psychological audio, proceed slowly Bruce, Sorry if I wasn't clear enough, I actually agree with most of your points, but do not feel that AG members are being defensive, I find them to be very open minded, but they take exception when people try to invalidate their hard earned expe... | |
| Psychological audio, proceed slowly Bruce, I think you may be misinterpreting things a bit. I think that the average amount of most Audiogon members' budget for cables is around 15%, some have cables worth about 30% of their total outlay, but they got it second hand at around the sa... | |
| Vocalists/Musicians Wasting Their Talent Prince, great musical talent, too much show business. | |
