| SACD my thoughts at this time..................... Eldartford, I would prefer the normal case for storage but will not let it deter me from buying them.My biggest complaint is no redbook layer on the dvd-a format.I have never had to use video for sacd set up, whether 2 channel or multi channel whi... | |
| SACD my thoughts at this time..................... Eldartford, all of my dvd-a's are in the larger case and the vast majority at the local stores are in the larger cases as well.I am not knocking dvd-a, but rather using the format as an example for my point of view.Both machines I have used, the 1... | |
| SACD my thoughts at this time..................... Lugnut, I have never heard a digital version of Harvest that I liked, the alblum itself is wonderful imo.I read on AA that Neil wanted SACD for Harvest, but I am not sure it would have been sonically much better.Ben, I guess you woud have to blame... | |
| SACD my thoughts at this time..................... If the quality and availability of SACD software is not the fault of the format and there manufactuers as Ears suggests, then I do not know where the fault lies.Ben, I do not suggest that there is a fault whith SACD, and do not agree that the diff... | |
| SACD my thoughts at this time..................... I have been able to hear the sonic improvement of sacd over cd on 7 different players.I have had in my system, a Sony 9000 stock and later whith Modwright signature mods.A phillips 963sa stock and whith mods, A sony 777, Phillips sacd 1000 and Den... | |
| SACD 2 channel vs Redbook 2 Channel Ben, I have not heard the Stones sacd's so I can't offer any input on those, but the DSOTM sacd sounds much better than any prior redbook release including the mofi version when played on equal players.Are you saying that the DSOTM sacd played on ... | |
| SACD 2 channel vs Redbook 2 Channel I have never heard a redbook version sound better than the sacd version but I don't listen to old dead guys either.For those that want to hear what sacd is all about, check out DSOTM, Steve Earles Guitar Town, Allison Krauss Live or Joe Satrianis ... | |
| Initial impressions of the Denon 5900 universal I have over 120 hours run in whith redbook and find the 5900 to only sound decent, not only does it not sound much better than the 963sa and up universals,but its sonics never seemed to improve after around 50 hours.I also wanted to mention that t... | |
| SACD VS DVD-AUDIO The best sounding format to these ears is sacd whith good sonics from DSOTM, better sonics from Steve Earle's Guitar Town and the best sonics I have ever heard from Joe Satriani's Strange Beautiful Music and Allison Krauss Live or her new release.... | |
| Sony XAE777 CDP or Bel Canto DAC? Yor best bang for the buck would be to mod your 963sa as it would more than compete with the 777.If your not into diy, then contact Doug at www.asi-audio.com for many different levels of mods to the 963sa.Dvd players that make great transports at ... | |
| Carver Power Amps Actually, the Carver pro is tottaly unrelated to Carver as they are seperate companys.The zr series is based on tripath technology,therefore would be more likely to sound like a Bel Canto amp than the Spectron.I just may order 3 of these myself. | |
| Good Home Theatre Mags? There is only ONE that seems to be unbiased and that is Widescreen Review.A av rag that decalared sacd as sonically superior to dvd-a three years ago and has not to my knowledge changed there stance.You can also find negative reviews of popular pr... | |
| Cary Cinema 8 vs. Krell Showcase vs. TagMclaren AV I know nothing about the Cary, but the Parasound halo c2 is superior to the showcase and latest tag in every respect.The c2 is available for around 3k street whith a 10 year warranty whith bug free operation, upgradability and is considered the pr... | |
| Comparisons: Philips 963 and the new Denons If you check the www.avsforum.com you will find some comparisons of the 2900 vs 963sa.I believe the 963sa is superior in sacd/cd....not sure on the video.I believe the comparison shootout resulted in the 963sa being the better value....especially ... | |
| Which Processor? The Parasound halo c2 is as good sonically as a McCormack map-1 dedicated multi channel preamp and also bested Tags latest 192 dacs for H/T.There is no re-digitizing of analog through the 7.1 or balanced 2 channel inputs.At around 3k street,what m... |
