Too snobbish for SACD as it exists?
Sean; we were posting at the same time. As you can see, I agree with your position. Craig 
Too snobbish for SACD as it exists?
I have used the Sony XA7ES and CA9ES CD players in a fairly high end system, and can say that the XA7 is an especially good product-- built like a tank and excellent music quality. I would have no problem setting a good Sony SACD player next to, e... 
Sonic Frontiers Tech Support is Great
Weiserb; that has been my experience too. Both Nick Platsis and Douglas Brown are great to deal with. Cheers. Craig 
Cowboy Junkies Fans........
Kelly; I pretty much live out in the boondocks, and it seems it takes at least 10 days to two weeks to get anything form Sonic Frontiers-- must be near Cowboy Junkies home base. But you're right, I'm anxious to hear their new CD. Pops, never heard... 
SACD Going Mainstream?
Does anyone know how many SACD titles (approx.) are presently available? Thanks. Craig. 
How much time do u spend listening.
Hi Ssomsit; yes this topic has been covered before, but I think it's one of those subjects that needs to be brought up every once in awhile. I listen 3-5 hours every evening, sometimes while doing light reading. What I find interesting is the many... 
What is a "Redbook" CD player?
Chstob; Sorry I didn't catch your question re "it" sooner in my above post. Yes, "it" refers to HDCD. Craig 
How many DVDs/CDs/LPs do you own?
About 1000 CDs and a couple hundred VHS tapes. These represent about 40% of stereo system value. Happy Listening. Craig 
Shipping amps upside down?
Sad to say, but I too think Sc53 is right on. Personally I wouldn't worry about it unless the amp was malfunctioning. Good Luck. Craig. 
HOW LONG DID YOU HAVE TO WAIT TO GET....
Jorge; Jeff and Snooker (above) have it right IMO. Much of the enjoyment is in the journey. But to answer your question, I seriously doubt that I will ever actually possess a "dream system" as the target is always changing, and sometimes rapidly. ... 
room treatment 101, please
Hi Felthove; Jkphoto gives good advice, and I essentially did what he suggests. In my 14 X 22 room-- stereo only, I put five 11" X 4' ASC bass traps behind my speakers-- one tube in each corner, and three against the wall and centered between the ... 
if i could trade places......
........should be roots of his music, but 'roots of his roots' is pretty deep ;>) 
if i could trade places......
Kelly; I'll take the plunge. As a young pup I loved Rock and Roll and Buddy Holly was a hero of mine. I have also played guitars, both acoustic and electric, all my life (mostly badly) and like many young "rockers" wanted to be an R&R "hero".L... 
Dedicated power circuit
Hi Joel; I put a dedicated AC system and ground in about a year ago, and yes it was a very worthwhile upgrade. I used 6 gauge stranded wire as it was already in place. The electricians connected the 6 gauge to a four 20 amp breaker submain, and th... 
Isolation?
Hi Jeff; I am considering either building or buying spiked amp stands for my 90 lb. DNA2s. BUT, I happened to be on the 'phone with John Dunlavy, of DAL Speakers, recently, and he is not universally impressed with spiking everything.In fact, it's ...
