More good news for SACD....
No one besides us audiogoners knows about sacd(slight exaggeration).This does not bode well for sacd or dvd-a.We all know this in the dark side of our minds. 
Rega Planet or Cairn Fog
What genius named a cd player fog? how about the "veiled" or the mote.Oh and by the way that cairn terrier sounds great.I tjink we all need to take everything less seriously folks. 
ATC SCM 20 SL or DeCapo?
I cannot recommend the decapos enough.I have not heard the atc actives but for the money you could get the decapos and a nice tube amp to drive them which they sing with.If you are a solid state guy then the aformentioned posit means nothing.Happy... 
Pristine Jazz
Try the xrcd version of wes montgomery live at tsubos...awesome and warm. 
Power Cords - Pixie Dust?
The difference was obvious from the moment I hooked it up.Their is no difference in the highs that I can tell.The bass extension and dynamics are such that I had to move the speakers a couple of inches out from the rear wall to bring things back i... 
Ok this will be a good thread.
You guys amaze me, some thing as obvious as the necessity for a superior source first gets lost on you!That is like saying the film you use in your camera is more important than the quality of the lens for christ sake.I don't know what to say Twl,... 
Power Cords - Pixie Dust?
Just to let you know I purchased a power cord kit from subaruguru and damned if their isnt a for the better increase in bass extension and generally better dynamic contrasts.It pains me to admit it but its true none the less and I didn't get robbe... 
Let's talk tube amps - no ss discussion
Try the vtl monoblocks the 125's are in your price range and although I would not call them lush they "RIDE THE LINE" between tube and solid state if this is what your after. 
Ok this will be a good thread.
Twl I understand exactly what you are saying and I cannot fault it one iota the source is the key but you know he who bangs the advertisng stick loudest and longest gets the wallets and that means speakers my friend.Keep on posting the truth. 
Where have all the protest songs gone?
P.S. I firmly believe that we can agree to disagree and be civil and learn from one another because thats what I WAS BORN FOR to learn from you and anyone else who has something interesting to say.The alternative is too onerous for me to contemplate. 
Where have all the protest songs gone?
LUGNUT...May I point out to you that ART regardless of your personal opinion sways and or galvanizes opinions.Earlier I alluded a vast forgetting we are locked in with regards to self respect.I would wager you a pair of tenor amps that if you aske... 
Monitor speakers for a change
try the decapo i from reference 3a,no crossover,easy as hell to drive with as little as 5watts or 100watts and a contender for the most time aligned speaker on the market. 
Where have all the protest songs gone?
Avideo if you think that what you hear on radio and t.v. is meaningful commentary I have two large towers in lower manhattan I'd love to sell you. 
Where have all the protest songs gone?
Thanks for your comments Twl and I agree with what you say about the next fraud of a necessary war(I assume thats what you infer)in the middle east and now Korea. 
Where have all the protest songs gone?
