| Farao Classics SACD: Schoenberg's Verklarte Nacht I doubt that the Decca/Solti Ring is in MCH although it was certainly multimiked, so it depends on what's still in the vault. | |
| Farao Classics SACD: Schoenberg's Verklarte Nacht I agree with most of your statements about the Mehta Schoenberg disc and the Die Walkure, while not a performance for the ages, is pretty good.Kal | |
| DVI to component input adapters ? Probably not easily or cheaply. DVI is digital. Component is analog.Kal | |
| DAC fed by DirectTV optical out for music & dolby 1. Yes, I use an external DAX with my cable and DMX service. Really helps.2. Depends on the DAC, of course. The Levinson 360S does.3. Guess you have to look at DACs with DigOut.Kal | |
| HE2004 in San Francisco this year Took a while to get to Audiogon but, yes, it has been cancelled. See:http://www.stereophile.com/news/102004heew/ | |
| Why so much???? I probably have "too much" by your standards. However, I like being able to grab what I want to hear off the shelf whenever I want it and I like to hear alternative performances of many pieces. So, the collection grows continuously.Kal | |

| House Amperage vs Stereo Amperage All good points. Remember, as I said at the beginning, if the amp has a standard wall plug, it was designed to expect no more that 15A from the wall!Kal | |
| House Amperage vs Stereo Amperage Amplifiers store charge in the capacitor reservoire to permit short-term high current output. If an amplifier really needed a 30 amp draw from the wall, it would have a different power cord. Most wall outlets are limited by wiring and breaker to 15A. | |
| Dual binding posts to non bi-wire speakers? Wait a minute. What amp is this? Most have dual binding posts for the convenience (but not the necessity) of biwiring. If so, you need not use any jumpers. If, otoh, the dual sets are for A/B outputs or anything else, the jumper is definitely pros... | |
| Sound when volume off Another possibility is dirt/grime in the pot preventing a full off. You might try one of the Caig cleaners. | |
