Best reasonably priced SACD player?
Oppo is unbeatable for versatility but there are better sounding options for audio disc playback.Dave 
King Cobras vs Straightwire Chorus II, unintentional comparison
I used Crescendo speaker cables (the ones that looked like an anaconda) for years and thought them to be superb. Actually auditioned the much more expensive Transparent Audio Reference XL vs the Crescendos in my system and sent the TAs back. Used ...

Pioneer SX-1050 speaker problems
Perfect advice from czarivey. It is not unusual to have woofer pumping from poorly isolated and /or improperly setup turntables. I have a SX-1050 in my vintage setup. Engaging the 30 hz filter should address the issue unless you have a wicked feed... 
Why does it take so many hours to brea in arc preamps and amps?
George,Your posts speak for themselves. Knowledge as thin as a molecule of Graphene and reason one thousandth the thickness of that.All of your challenges have fallen flat. Then the rapid degradation of your defensive retreat. What’s next, "Nuh-uh...

So now Charles Hansen is unqualified or just plain lying! You and Bo1972 are the Masters of the Audio Universe. Nobody’s buying it in either case. Dave 
Why does it take so many hours to brea in arc preamps and amps?
" To all those that say the manufacture has specified a certain "break-in" period, please link the rest of us to those manufacturers links, instead of it being just personal opinion. "  GeorgelofiA second to rsv4's previous post.Quote from Ayre CX... 
Equipment Stand
Hi Marcus,One thing that has not changed is the sensitivity that turntables have to extraneous vibration/resonance. Should you choose to go the glass route for your stand, plan to spend $$ on vibration/resonance isolation devices under your TT.You... 
Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable?
Should we all decide, as shadorne has, to enclose our speakers in massive, flat wall cabinets, thus destroying any hope of time coherence, to use parametric equalizers to grossly alter the audio signal, and to consider electronic drums our audio r...
