SACD fans look at this
Thank you so much, this is great.Justin 
Home HiFi better than Live?
My least favorite musical experience is listening to a "Live" CD. Its the crappy amplification and often times sub par musical performance without all of the magic of a good live show. 
Question for SCD-1 Owners
Mine is brand new and makes the same noise, I like it because when it stops, I know the disc is loaded and ready to go. I adore my player for both redbook and SACD also!

I find it difficult to ever call New Order unimaginative. I can understand why some people would not necessarily like New Order, however I have never heard anybody say they weren't good.Besides, your thread is entitled The Top 25 Singer/Songwriter...

How in the world can you consider Ian Curtis a singer songwriter and not Paul McCartney? To assume that Bernard Sumner(albrecht, whatever he was going by at the time), Peter Hook, and Stephen Morris did not have as much to do with Joy Divisions mu... 
Have you ever deceived your wife-audio purchase
I am not sure that I believed it, but I am going to steal it and use it as my own. Maybe I should use my pen name "Jonathan Valin".... 
Have you ever deceived your wife-audio purchase
I have never. Yet. I am in the process of lying now, telling her I can sell my speakers for what I am buying the new ones for. Of course, I have decided my lie cant be over $1,000. Otherwise it would be immoral! 
Audiogon Grammys
I would nominate Beck's Sea Change (it was really nominated come to think of it) and Wilco's Yankee Hotel Foxtrot for recording quality.

Is there a cable that can warm up my sound?
I recently added some Cardas XLRs to my system and I was surprised at the added detail and smoothed out sounds I got. I dont know which ones they are, they were hand me downs from my bro, but I can sure find out. 
SACD player for CD
I haven't ever heard the XA777ES, but I can third the SCD-1. I think most would agree it is in the upper echelon and competes well with other top redbook players.

Only thing I can think to add (brilliant damn list!) is Willie Nelson. and maybe Jeff Tweedy. 
Best group of the late 80s/ 90's
Wow, I could spend days on this, but I wont.1. New OrderThey put out some of the best music ever between 1980 and 1989. I know everyone always counters that Joy Division are better, but I dont, nor will I ever buy it. They were not only groundbrea...
