Bridge or not to bridge
Generally speaking bridging is not the best way to go. (see reasons mentioned above) I tried it for a while with a Classe six-channel amp but eventually abandoned the idea, opting for a traditional higher powered five channel amp. 
SACD finally taking-off? non-classical listeners
Like many others posting on this thread I too ran to my CD archives and pulled out my copy of Rumors. I have it playing right now as I type. Ok, I admit it sounds very flat and dry, see what happens when you stop using drugs :^) It's no wonder the...

Power Cord for Classe CA-401
Personally I'd try scooping up a *BMI Whale Elite II* at an a-gon auction. They will handle the load no problem and can be had for under $400.00 brand new from time to time. I also recommend running a dedicated 20 amp circuit just for the amp. 
difference between Sony SCD 1 and SCD 777ES
John,I talked it out with a few friends and backed out of the purchase. Such is life 
What is your "evaluation cd"?
Correction, Sting- Nothing Like The Sun. Derrick where do you buy your XRCDII's? 
What is your "evaluation cd"?
Lawrence Juber *Collection* First track is the best rendition of Little Wing I've ever heard. Sting *Dream Of The Blue Turtles* I usually start with Be Still My Beating Heart.Then I try some Jazz, New Age and Classical 
difference between Sony SCD 1 and SCD 777ES
I've got a sale pending on one right now. I definetly would like to start collecting SACD's. On the other hand I sold all my Sony ES gear a long time ago. It's hard for me to imagine this gear sounding better than what I have now. The deciding fac...

MIT MH-750 Shotgun Speaker Cable
I run MIT 750 shotgun's with my Thiel speakers. They sound pretty good. Try to run MIT 330 shotgun interconnects for a matched cabling system. 
What qualifies a "low baller"
LOW BALLERS BE DAMNED!!!!There, now I feel much better :^) 
Best amp to replace my Classe CA-100
I like the VT-100 idea. Also a two channel Theta Dreadnaught would allow you to expand to five channels down the road. I use to own a Classe Ca-101, then I went to a CA-301, then to a VT-100 MKI now I use a VT-100 MKIII.Ahhhh Evolution at it's bes... 
Harry Potter sound
I think that would depend on a couple of things. 1 - Was it dark beer? 2 - Were you using real butter on the popcorn? Mixing the two has been known to alter more than just the sound stage. :^) I just picked up the DVD a couple of days ago. I'll gi... 
What's Best , Audio Research VT-100 or VT-100 MKII
I use to own the MK I. It has a laid back soft around the edges kind of sound and you'll need to drive it up a bit to get the sweet characteristics. All in all this is a very nice sounding amp. I now own the MK III which sounds completely differen... 
LATIN Guitar ??
Just a heads up, I ordered some of the CD's mentioned above at Deepdiscountcd.com. Their prices are very good and the shipping is free no matter if you order one or one hundred. No, I'm not plugging this web-site. If you know somewhere cheeper ple...
