Playing dual layer SACD/CD disc on Sony DVP9000 ES
FYI:my player wouldn't even automatically attempt to calibrate the SACD layer.When I attempted to do SACD manually, I couldn't get it to work, either.THESE THINKS PLAYED FINE BEFORE A YEAR IN STORAGE?!?!frustrating, to say the least. 
Tube 2nd system for 5k.
SACD Player of your choice for $1500 or less.Rogue Tempest (not Tempest II- which would be fine, but maybe a bit more money) $1500 Used.JM Reynaud Trente Speakers. $1800 used. 
KT88 or 6550 tubes for Rogue 90 amp?
I have rolled in a Cary SLI-80, and also in my Rogue Tempest. You can actually use EL-34 tubes in the Tempest, however the auto bias will be a little hot for them, and they will not last as long, but they're a good deal cheaper than the big bottle...

Wall mount rack options for all components

Thanks for the ideas.Mre2007: I wish i was on a slab. IT is crawl space, however.THe Target Wall Racks look perfect, except for the depth.My Rogue Tempest needs more than 16 inches of depth for cables. If I could find something like the target, bu... 
Cary SLI 80 - anthing better for the same price?
