| The Absolute Sound Review of Sony SCD-XA777ES ??? I hate to give long quotes but....."The monopoly power that created the 44.1/16pcm cd is mirrored in the U.S. high-end publishing industry and the results have been the same.... There's been a gradual coarsening of the discussion and dumbing-down ... | |

| What is your listening bias Detlof, Mich atzend?"A guy who wants to play a tune and only knows one note is going to blow hard sometimes." John Coltrane (or was it Potter Stewart?)I remain, | |

| Upgrade CD player or wait What's the rest of your system? I agree with comment above re its stll an iffy proposition re DVD/SACD. For all the hype the industry has given they remain really flawed at this time.I remain, | |
| Dented Tweeter? How do they sound? Can't live with it? You are right there are dispersion and distortion problems associated with that kind of problem. The trick above with the vacuum is well known and works but sometimes with aluminum dome tweeters it is not an ... | |
| What is your listening bias My listening bias? A case of Becks and Ketel Vodka, what else?With regard to #1 (do I seek soundstage, tone, transparency or dynamics): I seek them all and attain none. Sometimes I do not know what it even means. For example, with regard to sounds... | |
