| SACD remasters- any better than CD version? I would agree with you Ben that SACD's are smoother sounding and not the best for rock. That is probably why I only have a couple of rock SACD's. Most of my SACD's are jazz/vocal/orchestral performances, recordings where the slight smoothing SACD ... | |

| An Unusual Question -- Equipment Rental/Loans +1 on what Truemaineiac says, that's not cool.

| Buying 2 1/2 year old new in box power amp I just bought a preamp that was 5 year old NIB. I was a bit taken aback when I first found out it was 5 years old, but it looks and works like it's brand new, so I guess no harm, no foul. | |
| Is it all in my head? In this hobby, yes, many differences are in the head. Pshyco-acoustics is a real topic. Don't get me wrong, there are differences between gear and cables, but to varying degrees. Some differences are obvious, some are very hard to detect, and some... | |
| Cables more hype than value? By all means, keep on keeping on.....I just gotta run out and get some fresh popcorn. ;) | |
