What HiFi and Atmos
@kota1 Instead of height speakers: with the importance of the center speaker in 5.1, I need to upgrade mine (had limited choice, needed an ultra low profile). What would be a good match for the Nautilus 804? And no, I can't afford a Nautilus HTM... 
What HiFi and Atmos
@kota1 Kraftwerk (the band, not the turbo) multichannel: title/version (link?) and is it really GOOD (technically)? And no, I don't see myself ever to use height channels (too complex for me to install).  
Breathtaking SACD of popular classical music
Some ideas (only if available in truly great SACD mix): Beethoven – Symphony No.5 in C minor Mozart Serenade No. 13 for strings in G major (Eine kleine Nachtmusik) J.S. Bach – Toccata and Fugue in D minor (on great organ) Vivaldi – The Four Se... 
What HiFi and Atmos
@kota1 My current mains are B&W Nautilus 804 and the dot 1 is a Dayton UM18-22 in sealed enclosure driven by ED LT1300 amp.     
What HiFi and Atmos
I just dipped my toes into SACD (and Dark Side of Moon made me KEEP it!) on my 5.1 (but mostly 2.1) system. It will NOT replace my 2 channel (CD, not streaming, but likely will also add streaming if I can find reasonably priced FILES I can downloa... 
Low cost SACD player with remote, display and SACD over HDMI
  @elliottbnewcombjr how does the OPPO DV-980H on ebay compare with the Oppo 103 I ordered? May need a 2nd SACD (non video, so 4k no concern) for the 2nd system.   
Low cost SACD player with remote, display and SACD over HDMI
Bought a used Oppo 103 with remote (put a bid in before really having read up on the player). Hope it does what I need (including playing 4k Bluray, and obviously SACD via HDMI). Otherwise, triggerhappy me added a 4th player to the 'should not hav... 
Low cost SACD player with remote, display and SACD over HDMI
  @elliottbnewcombjr I have teh x700 with no displacy, very small format and too light (get pushed back easily). Is the x800M2 any better in those respects?    
Low cost SACD player with remote, display and SACD over HDMI
I had certainly looked at the Oppo 103. For some  reason, was under the impression the 103 does NOT play SACD over HDMI. Need to go back and double check. In certain DOES have an HDMI IN (and 2 out).       
DAT - what to do with Panasonic SV-3700
It digital in as optical and coax. Ditto out.  And XLR for analog.    Not sure what the "AES/EBU" is for. Maybe mics?       
Symptoms of UN-CLEAN power
@curiousjim I am just curious if I might have 'dirty power' (and assuming there is - as is often the case in the esoteric world of high fidelity - no measureable real evidence of that dirt). Interested to read what you find out (going from dirty (... 
Analyzing DACs
@laoman   "You get what you pay for" . Wouldn't THAT be nice?  I hope you were joking.  But probably not, if I see and read about some true audiophile nutcases. "Wishful thinking" or "I spent $300,000k on that turntable and I can hear every singl... 
Symptoms of UN-CLEAN power
@falconquest I think pretty much all our equipment actually uses DC (there may be few obscure items, but can't think of one right (a light bulb in an amp? turn table motor?). I assume even tubes are DC. Just that it is first converted from AC. And... 
Symptoms of UN-CLEAN power
@christianb5s4 ".. each placed as far away as possible," What is placed as far as possible? the 3 simens breakers? Did you just run 3 new lines to the existing panel and put other breakers in?     
Symptoms of UN-CLEAN power
@falconquest I read one time. All AC 'cleaners' deal with the AC side. All my stuff runs off DC. How much of the AC "dirt" is making it into DC (with all the filtering in the conversion process). Or rephrased: how much different does 100% battery ...
