| Good insturmental sax jazz recommindations Stan Getz and Cannonball Adderley would be a good start. Their styles are more melodious, more accessible. | |
| Prima Luna Owners I'm also interested in the Prima Luna. There was an excellent review by Ken Kessler in Hi-Fi News several months ago. | |
| Mapleshade records: Pick the best of Another vote for Sweetman - Austin Backalley Blue. | |
| Why so much???? I'm with Kal also. As for myself, I have about 3,000 CD's and 250 SACD's (the latters are mostly hybrids). I listen to all kinds of music but about 65% of the collection is classical (vocal, opera, symphonic, chamber). In this repertoire, there ar... | |
| HE 2004 West Cancelled due the worker lockout Clbeanz, thanks for the advice. What a bummer! I was looking forward to it. | |
| What is the best Big Screen TV? Wait another few months until 2005...when the giants (Sony, Toshiba, Panasonic etc.) will be releasing the 1080p HDTV monitors (probably using DLP, Realta HQV chips). Current technology is at 720p. I just read an article in one the forums today. T... | |

| RCA Living Stereo 2.0 & 3.0 SACD's Tvad et al..., here you go RCA Living Stereo SACD. Look closely, the description says Hybrid SACD. You can also do an "Advanced Search" under Classical, but do not select category type = SACD. It's under CD. Go figure. | |
| Mercury Living Presence SACD's I didn't mention anything about the performance because it's now accepted as a classic. | |

| Should I change speaker cables? Another option. You can also try the Ah! Direkt Cables. They are supposedly swiss made but look quite humble. However, I was stunned at how good they sound compared to cables 3 times their prices. They sound vivid (present), open (extended at both... | |
| Denon 3910 Universal Player - Opinions? I agree with Bwfreak's comment above. | |
| Denon 3910 Universal Player - Opinions? I have had the Denon DVD-3910 for about 3 weeks. It’s still burning-in. I did not put it through continuous burn-in process. So far, it had about 12 hours of DVD-Video, 12 hours of Multi-Ch SACD, 8 hours of DVD-Audio and 6 hours of CD. I’ve been b... |
