Questions about SACD vs.analog for classical music
Eldartford, I have a system with which I can play CD's in multichannel. I use the same decoder as the SQ LP's - a Lafayette SQ-L 4-channel decoder. If LP's are 'superior' to SACD, then shouldn't the SQ or QS LP's sound better than SACD multi-chann... 
Questions about SACD vs.analog for classical music
Stefanl, so a jackhammer noise is analogue or digital?I guess that digital video is bad for the brain too? Got to stop using this digital internet thing in front of me! 
What is so terrible about balancing your system ?
So are tone controls! 
Questions about SACD vs.analog for classical music
Cjfrbw, think how much better vinyl is in multichannel format! SQ, QS anyone? Must be better than multichannel SACD!? 
I know this is heresy, but...
No matter which equalizer you get, you really need a RTA, so you can 'see' what you are doing. BTW, an equalizer isn't going to add any bottom to your system if it isn't already there! An equalizer is good for taking away bumps and anomolies, howe... 
High priced power cable what about the romex
Viridian, because we wouldn't want to further screw up the already garbage sound recorded ! :) 
Speaker Distortion or Room Interaction ?
french fries, we still don't know what spl levels that you are talking about. Live Mahler symphony can reach 105db at row 5 in a good hall. is this what you are attempting to reproduce at home and is this the level at which you are hearing the dis...

Actually, castration might 'tone up' the debate! 
step down transformer recommendation 100v to 120v
You have a strange set-up. Power amp that produces more power than it consumes from the mains; pre-amp that consumes 100 watts and cdplayer also!I think that you need to take another look at your equipment specs and rethink this 'problem'.BTW, you... 
any Sopranophiles here?
I thought that you meant singing 'Sopranos', not the TV kind. 
Drying sand in the oven- anyone try it?
To use an oven to dry the sand, use the self cleaning feature of the oven. That will ensure that any biological or HCs contained in the sand are effectively burned off. The oven is not hermetically sealed, BTW, so the moisture and burned off gases... 
The Clever Little Sharp
I suspect that the difference between those that believe in these 'irrational' tweaks and those that don't, is probably the same as those folks who can be hypnotized and those that can't. The effect is 'real' for the hypnotized person and good for... 
$1 a foot cable: 10awg no-name or 14awg brand?
10AWG. 
Power cable for a powered sub
Good grief, a 10AWG power cord for a subwoofer whose power amp won't pull more than 4 amps (480watts) at peak and the subwoofer connection to the power amp is probably a 16AWG at best and its current is probably close to 8 amps at peak! I guess th... 
power conditioning - source vs amps
earflappin, just what exactly is 'high current' amps. If you have a 480watts amp running on 240V mains, that would be 2 amps and 4 amps on a 120V. Not exactly high current in my book! frankly, any power cord larger than 14ga is pointless!Bob P.
