Problem with Electrocompaniet DAC
I've had the same thing happen to my ECD-1. Simply "reboot" and all is well. I also use a SCD-1 to feed the ECD-1 Dac and find it an incredible combo! 
Review of Michael Wolff Carbon Ribbon Source power
Vvrinc;As you stated I bought one for the Dac....I'm now burning in a second Carbon Source on my SCD-1 Transport/SACD Player.I'll post results in a few days!Thanks! 
Revel F-30/ large or small
I agree with Kal....I also think "overdriving" them is tough to do if you're using quality amplification. I'm driving my F-30's with a Pass X-250 and they seem to handle power without complaint. 
Pass Lab X1 and X250 - Which XLR?
I've tried many IC's with my Pass X-250 to Sim P-5 connection. I ended up sticking with Audience AU-24 XLR's. Great synergy with the X-250. They're the best I've used (including Cardas Golden Reference, Neutral Reference, Acoustic Zen Matrix and S... 
Other problems with Sony SCD1 besides TOC Read
Jeez....My SCD-1 has never burped. Yeah, it's slow to read TOC compared to most players, but after I drop the disc in, walk back to my chair, sit down, remove my glasses, adjust my penis, clear my throat, pop my ears, pop my knuckles, stretch twic... 
Why no Tori Amos
Maybe because she's just too freaky! :) 
Traffic "John Barleycorn Must Die" - Why no mfsl
Don't know...but I have a Japanese Mini-LP pressing of this and it's fantastic. It's part of the Japanese Traffic OBI Box Set. 
Comments on Electrocompaniet ECD1
What a deal that unit is-especially used. I've never heard a better DAC under $2,500. Wide soundstage, Nuance and detail, strong tight bass, and best of all outstanding transparency. The only DAC that I ever thought was better in my system was the... 
Leaving HT for 2 channel-Good or Not?
I have a high-end 2 channel system for music upstairs, and a decent 5.1 system for HT downstairs. I have no intention of them meeting one another! 
Best material for isolation purposes
Aurios Bearings- You'll be surprised.

I HIGHLY recommend a Particular Basis Rack. Shelves are fully adjustable. A beautifully built, well -engineered design. If you buy Billy Bags your shelf hight is set FOREVER.....See link below.http://www.particular.com/products/basis.htm 
PC for NuVista and ARC CD2
I'd keep my eyes open for a used Michael Wolff Carbon Source cord (new it's $650.00). I've tried a lot of cords, and it's the best I've used. 
Review: Harmonic Precision Caravelle Monitor
Warren;If I'm picking up on what you're saying, I think you like them :). My wife hasn't said that many nice things about me over an entire 8-year span!I need to audition those babies..... 
Do You Remember Your First CD Player?
Mission PCM-7000. I thought I had hit digital nirvana. Problem was, digital nirvana was pretty bad at that time! Time and again, side by side comparisons with my far less expensive AR turntable showed just how much my expensive CD player was lacki... 
Review of Michael Wolff Carbon Ribbon Source power
Though Fiddler seems to regard this thread as B.S., I've gotta tell 'ya- this cord is outstanding. I took one in on trial, connected it to my Electrocompaniet ECD-1 DAC and put it up against the following:A. Shunyata Black Mamba V.2B. PS Audio LAB...
