What is your OTHER passion?
Windsurfing and bicycling. Audio is my winter sport. 
2-Channel to home Theater
Ditto on the receiver. Any model with outputs for the front channels will work. The downside is the rats nest of wires you will have when you hook this up. I have a set up like this and am thinking of getting rid of the receiver to simplify my sys... 
350 SACDs and Counting
Another thanks. I have been looking for a list like this. 
Vpi 19mkIV or linn sondek 12
Thanks for the input. Seems like Linn could be a pain. Looks like Salvatore is for the VPI. Any more opinions on VPI vs. Rega?

My Poop theory by kublakhan
I sometimes throw my old,old speakers in the system for a session. After one night with my ADS L880's, I put the Proac 3.8's back and the poop smell comes right back. 
Why are EMC-1 s being dumped on market?
people are selling a lot of high end cd players for SACD players

SACD quest
Amazon has dropped their price to $18.95 
Too snobbish for SACD as it exists?
I agree more high end players will help legitimize the format. Classe has been diplaying a prototype that is almost ready for production. The Accuphase unit is very high end. I belive SACD is successful. The software is coming. 
Tube Preamp.. On or Off?
Sonic Frontiers preamps are designed to be left in standby. It's a nice feature, why not use it? 
Legacy anyone?

Best Tuner under 500?
The old Yamaha T-1 and T-2 tuners are great. There is a T-2 on ebay now. They go in the $300-$400 range, depending on condition.
