| SACD finally taking-off? non-classical listeners I've noticed much more advertising for SACD players and almost none for DVD-A players. I hope this is because SACD IS taking off and will beat DVD-A. I do not like the fact that DVD-A uses a data compression technique. Happily, SACD does not.When ... | |

| best 100- 200 used interconnect Phil, It almost looks as if you're hunting for a woman (smooth-tight-warm). I don't want to change the topic (inter-connects with distinct colourization) but would also like to query everyone as to what are considered the most transparent cables i... | |
| Top Ten Speakers of All Time? Hands-down: The Dahlquist DQ-10's. | |
| If you could remaster three cd's... Ooops! I forgot Tori Amos' breakthrough album "Little Earthquakes", the classic Fleetwood Mac albums "Fleetwood Mac" and Rumours", and Kate Bush's masterpiece "The Dreaming". | |

| Your Favourite Desert Island Discs Easy. (Kiddin'). 1) Mile Davis "Cookin'" It's so "REAL" I ask Miles if he'd like any cheese and crackers between tracks. 2) Kate Bush "The Hounds Of Love" Delicate and bombastic at the same time. The second side is an epic adventure! Her prior alb... | |
| CD player:Arcam 9 or Rotel 991 Tarzan say, "Arcam 9 is slightly harsh on the high freq's and provides too much detail. (I only desire the musical material, not the drum pedal, piano pedal, guitar string finger squack, ...). AND the Arcam 9 really accents the sibilence of vocals... | |
| Advise on preamps. Skip-out on the Cary's. You will NOT find a better "sound" or soundstage than an Audible Illusion 3A in the under $2K market. I compared it to EVERY pre-amp Cary, BAL, and the others offered. Nothing came close. Nothing. |
