Perpetual Techs P1A DESIGN FLOOR!
Hi Ken: Still have not hooked it up and am waiting on my digital cable that had to be made up. I just upgraded the shipping to Fed Ex one day yesterday as I am getting a little antsy and would like to avoid dropping more money on a locally purchas...

There is more info on the DAC at Audio Asylum Digital Forum. If the whole package (with power supply and room corrction at around $2000.00) works "well" eventually with the room correction software that is forthcoming I guess that it would be cons... 
Shopping CD players: my big adventure
Kthomas: I guess that I never looked at it that way. I used to patch in the multi disk player from the mini system for her, but we decided that the little seperate system would be better utilized in the spare bedroom/computer room. She misses the ...

Thanks for the info Jtinn. I just added a used Bel Canto instead of going SACD which was better on my budget as I was able to upgrade speakers as well. I listened to the inexpensive top loading Sony and it sounded about the same as the Arcam CD pl... 
Will a DAC mellow Denon DCM 360
Dark: Search the forum under "entry level" without the word and. Ehider is referring to the XC-35M now discontinued but still available online. I just saw one for $149.00 new when I searched the web with "xc-35m". I beleive that the group was also...

Calm down Gthirteen: Just pour the soder into one of your airline beverage cups (that is if you have not cut holes in the bottems of "all" of them). And if you had not eaten so many of those peanut packs, you would not be so thirsty.

Ehider: Does the Aiwa have an RCA digital out? Or what outputs does it have? Also what DACS did your group have good results with? 
Greatest Guitar Band
Actually, Clapton buried Chet in front of millions on the Ed Sullivan show during a guitar duke out. It was no contest.

Jtinn: What about SACD's to play in it? I have heard that they are expensive and few, or has that changed?

I have read that the AR CD and Amp are not a good match for each other. I owned the AR Complete CD for a short while and it sounded very musical without an edge when paired to my Musical Fidelity X amp. In that price range why not get the Musical ...

I mentioned Cream. I thought that they lacked focus and didn't care for the Yardbirds either (too crude and ego driven to mesh). Shoot me now or later. 
"Burn in" Are you serious?
Joe: The room would explain it if many people did not listen in the near field. I don't ordinarily, but do when I am testing new stuff to buy at home. On the otherside of the coin I have also experienced "burn out" on older tube stuff that I have ... 
Cheap bi-wiring?
PS: Also forgot to mention that the Audio Advisor has MIT T2 internal bi-wire cables on closeout at half off. An 8ft pair is around $200.00. Some people love them and some people hate them and I have never tried them. Maybe others know of other in...

I think that Greg Allman did the solo on Scaggs version of "Brother Can You Spare Me a Dime". 
Know of a "Dirt Cheap" tweak?
Vibrapods and a sheet of MDF or a Maple cutting board under the CD player are a cheap must do. I will be trying Mapleshade's Tenderfeet in a few days which are about the same price as the Pods. Keeping cables seperate and off of carpet and other s...
