Well, if your LPs really are 33.5rpm, it's no wonder they play a little slow. ;-)Kal 
MLP with Arcam DV79 & Meridian 561M
They talked about MLP while others were talking about DVD-A and SACD. MLP became a real product as part of DVD-A.Kal 
MLP with Arcam DV79 & Meridian 561M
No. MLP (you can look it up) is a lossless compression having nothing (in theory) to do with DD or DTS. So far as I know, it is used exclusively with DVD-A and mostly, but not exclusively, with multichannel DVD-A. Also, as with SACD, there are sev... 
MLP with Arcam DV79 & Meridian 561M
The MLP is only on the disc. The Arcam cannot output it and, in fact, Meridian's own players cannot either. The only way to get it out is with 6 analog connections and, if the Meridian 561 lacks such an input, you cannot do it with this combinatio... 
MLP with Arcam DV79 & Meridian 561M

THE Show - worth going?
THE Show might be open to the public but CES is still industry only. Of course, many do find a way in.....Kal 
SACD/CD Player recommendation $3500 or below
" I'd thought of the Sony XA-9000, but the 6moons on it seems to trash it's native redbook playback vs the Denon DVD-5900 I've just sold."Hmmm. I prefer the Sony on Redbook. Different strokes....Kal 
When will HQV REALTA chips be in sets?

TDL transmission line speakers
TDLs, derived from IMFs, are big, beefy, widerange speakers but like a bit of power. The MF should be OK.Kal

The Magic of Brazilian Music
Esquina de SP (Wilma de Oliveira) SACD is excellent but strange. Each of the formats (MCH SACD, Stereo SACD, CD) has a different, but overlapping, selection of songs. Kal
