| are we are own worst enemies? Most high end audio equipment has a 40% mark-up over dealer cost. Cabling is closer to 50%, some dealers offer new equipement at heavily discounted prices. I bought my Sony SCD-1 just after it was introduced two years ago for $3200 un-opened with ... | |

| Need help-new room advise You might try hanging a heavy drape behind you, if done correctly it might look fine from below. | |
| Cables with the best highs I would secound the vote for Purist, I played with a pair of Dominuis for a week and found then to be extremely detailed and transparent but at the same time very smooth. My present reference, FIM Gold were only slightly less detailed but that was... | |
| Is sound room on the attic bad??? What are the dimensions of your room? How high off the floor does the roof slope, and what is the peek height? It may be that this roof could work to your favor but I need more information. | |
| Leave it on or turn it off? The energy vs. sound quality is a real issue. I leave my whole system on 24/7, before I get jumped on I should say my Aloia amps use 35 watts each, my Aloia pre-amp 25 watts and my Sony SCD-1 30 watts, thus a total of 125 watts. I feel ok with tha... | |

| EMC-1 vs. Levinson 360s/Sony SCD-1 If you have a couple weeks to wait, I'm going to be sending my SCD-1 in for the full www.audiocom-uk.com upgrade. After experimenting with a number of DAC/SCD-1 combos I found the Audiomeca Enkianthus 24x192 up sampling to do a great job, but not ... | |
| Have you "lied" to yourself? All the time! I buy used for that very reason. Hopefully I can resell it for close to what I paid if I find it not useful in my system. Anyone want some power cords, interconnects, speaker wire, cones, shelving or power conditioners? I have a few ... | |
| Any advise to improve my system My experiences are the same as above. Your equipment should be enough to get you there. Speaker placement, isolation, shelving, tweeks... Search "winter lessons", those are my experiences that brought out the final 15%. And have fun! J.D. |
