Dec 13, 2003	Best multichannel SACDs? Even those of us who use MCH (SACD and otherwise) would think that Tireguy's suggestions of researching those websites for stuff already posted and praised is a good idea. Anyone's taste is hard to know, so it's best if you glean what suits you fr...
Dec 13, 2003	Which are the top DVD-A players? The Linn Unidisk 1.1 that I've had for a few months has not shown up any problems in operation or format recognition.
Dec 11, 2003	Does the length of an interconnect degrade the sou The only real difference in susceptibility to noise pickup and that depends on the RF/EMI environment which is quite noisy in studios. I run 30foot interconnects from preamp to amp and there's no consistent difference between balanced and unbalanc...
Dec 11, 2003	Does the length of an interconnect degrade the sou It really depends on the player but 10 meters is pushing it for most players. If it's digital output you are using, you can probably do it with high quality coax, balanced or optical as long as you have a decent DAC at the other end. If it's analo...

Dec 08, 2003	Who has a separate DVDA and SACD player? You'll have to wait for my March column if you want that info. ;-)
Dec 08, 2003	Who has a separate DVDA and SACD player? Bel Canto Pre6McIntosh C45McCormack MAP-1and those are only the ones I've used. Many others.
Dec 06, 2003	Polk Speakers: Good Wood? I've only seen them at shows but they look superb, especially for the money.
Dec 05, 2003	Ah Tjoeb 4000 - Install Digital Input? I have not done it but it requires the implementation of an S/PDIF receiver chip and a little associated circuitry.
Dec 05, 2003	Theta Dreams You might say so; I could not possibly comment. ;-)
Dec 04, 2003	Upsampleing? Actually, the stair-step analogy is not accurate as the reconstruction filter smooths the outputs to the same result. Now, the nature of that filter can be affected by the output sample rate but that's another story.
