Luxman will be coming out with their 05 and 07 SACD players but I don't know the dates.

I received three power chords yesterday.  The packaging is 100%, the same as my speaker cables.  The first few hours of break in was as  expected.  Grainy and rough in the upper frequencies.  With just minimal hours on them, they are starting to s... 
Townshend Springs under Speakers
The greatest improvement for me was Podiums under the speakers.  I then placed the pods under my tube pre amp replacing the HRS footers.  Speakers first in my opinion. 
Any Vienna acoustics love out there? Anyone even still using them?
@big_greg I had the same reaction to the other models in the VA line up until I heard the Liszt.  It's encouraging if they have made some design changes because I felt they were OK, but kind or boring. 
Acoustic treatment question: do you agree with Dennis Foley that $46k to $65k is required?

Need help buying new speaker cable
thyname, I own their nova occ speaker cable.  I find it very open, accurate (in a good way) with a nice soundstage.  Wig and others were kind enough to recommend them as well as their power cords.  I think they are a sleeper and a real value.  I h...

Townshend Springs under Speakers
Geez, this must be one of the most opinionated posts from people that haven’t tried a product. Buy them, try them and if you don’t like them send them back! No, they don’t boiing, boiing on suspended floors and make matters worse.  If you haven't ...
