Multichannel SACD with computer as transport?
If I remember correctly SACD has different capacity than CD.It is protected from reading by 80 bit code and from writing by "pit width modulation" that SACD player is looking for. 
XLR interconnects?
Darrenmc - what about Acoustic Zen Silver Reference II? 
Sub output: Is it the woofer size or the rated RMS
Drew - Thanks. I forgot about xmax.

Shadorne - I was thinking of three 10" woofers versus one 18" woofer (same area). 
The best CD Player for the money
Perrew - Never heard of it. My friend Sarah says it cannot be possibly larger then Alaskan continent.

Perrew - Europe? Is it a country or a continent?

Shadorne - I wasn't thinking of slap and 5kHz when I mentioned 10" woofer's bass definition - for that bass enclosures have tweeters. I was thinking of low frequencies. 10" woofer arrays have better controlled/damped (shorter) bass while 18" woofe... 
Advice on stacking equipment
Not only interference. Stacking reduces surface area and makes air flow - convection cooling very difficult. Electrolytic caps' life is temperature dependent (2x shorter for each 10 deg C increase).

One correction - membrane of 18" speaker should be 10.5 times heavier because it should be 3.24 times thicker and the area is 3.24 times larger. That is probably why definition is getting poor (too heavy).

"Why do we use eight 10” speakers? Because we learned early on that 10” speakers work much more efficiently than fifteens or eighteens—and if you put eight 10” speakers together, you can move a much larger column of air." Mmarvin19 - excellent poi... 
Transient Attack and Amp Design
AlamrgInductance of 1 foot of straight wire is not 15nH. According to this calculator:www.consultrsr.com/resources/eis/induct5.htmit is between 330nH for 0.1" Dia to almost 500nH for thin wires.Large capacitors have large inductance. Bypassing the... 
Researching the CD/HDCD Players from China
Tvad - microfiber is polyester. Get cotton with bamboo towels (the best) if you don't mind bamboo coming most likely from China.Oops - I didn't notice it was a hardware store. 
Advice on source needed
PiotrzeI have Benchmark DAC1. I use it with inexpensive Sony DVD player since Benchmark is jitter supressing and transport does not make a difference. I'm not afraid of transport failure anymore and saved money I will spend on speakers.Bel Canto D... 
Rowland Continuum 500, RCA vs. XLR
Simon - I understand advantage but you have to pay for it. I'm more experienced on electronics side of things than audio. 
I am sick of cables
The problem I have with "truth about cables" articles is that they bring everything to capacitance and inductance of the cable. They don't believe in any correlation between sound and metal that cable is made of (and its purity). Most of people wo...
