Are Sony SACD Machine Owners Crazy??
I own a Resolution Audio 55 and a SCD-1. I don't think that the SCD-1 is as good as the RA55. I do think that it's bass biased response is very good. I listen to both. I have decided to sell my RA55, but I intend to have the Sony upgraded by an af... 
PS Audio built into room circuit?
Thanks Sean,I have considered the same, but, I want the option of being able to change the configuration of the voltage/frequency and multiwave without a 100 foot walk. Also for me, the room below the living room is the boiler room and I don't thi... 
PS Audio built into room circuit?
Hi Metaphysics,Currently, my amp and PS Audio are on a Zoethecus 2high amp stand situated between the speakers and almost exactly at the midpoint between the speakers. My intent is to get the amp lower to the ground to improve the soundstage. In y... 
PS Audio built into room circuit?
I want the wiring to be in the wall. Do you think the effect of using a non powercord after the PS Audio will reduced the effect of the PS Audio?Bill E. 
What s wrong with this picture?
I don't see anything wrong with either picture. High end audio is like our wives... If this was on a cost per basis, lunar landings would start to look cheap. I figure that when you want the last five percent of quality you have eliminated the fir... 
What Are Your Audio Morals?
I don't use audio advice from shops when I intend to purchase used or at a discount elsewhere. Using advice to me is the same as using a demo and buying elsewhere. A long time ago someone, maybe my father, told me that if I wanted service then pay... 
buyers/sellers that DEFAULT on contract
Hi Angela,I would post negatively if I still had the email address. I had really mixed feelings about this man for a long time. You're right to notify Audiogon. He didn't hurt anyone. But, he's aggravated me. THAT'S CERTAINLY NO CRIME! In fact, th... 
buyers/sellers that DEFAULT on contract
Are you kidding? I've had lot's of "done deals" which fell apart. Recently, I had a buyer for speaker cables who wanted them for a little less than I was willing to sell for. After a few emails and a long, long telephone call, he was comfortable a... 
How much does your system retail for?
Dinan,Looks like you have your priorities straight! 
DAC or Upgraded Analogue in SACD units?
Hi Simontju,I feel as you do. I have tried the different filters and gravitate back to std. Thanks for reminding me.Bill E. 
Best interconnect for Sony SCD-1 w/ss
I found that the Stealth Gold more detailed and equally warm against the Cardas Golden Cross. How are the Hexlink 5C different from the Golden Cross?Bill E. 
DAC or Upgraded Analogue in SACD units?
I started to wonder if the filters also need separate break-in? It appears that they soften with use. It's unbelievable that I could have to break in five filters and two analoge sections to get first class sound. My brother the lawyer is probably... 
DAC or Upgraded Analogue in SACD units?
Rcprince:Thank you for your opinion and advice concerning the Sony. I have been burning in the unit 24/7 on the XLO break in track and the changes are astounding. The detail is completely changed by the end of week one. There is actually more deta... 
What SS amp has the fastest warm-up time
I don't understand. What is your objection to the stand-by idle of class A amps? I'd like to learn. At standby my Levinson draws 2.4kw/day, about $.40 where I live. Please explain.Thanks,Bill E. 
DAC or Upgraded Analogue in SACD units?
Hi Melhsu,I picked up a Sony SCD-1 yesterday. It's very nice, but, simply doesn't have spaciosness and separation of the Resolution Audio 55 I usually play redbook cds on. I understand that it will improve and frankly, I'm banking on it. But, as o...
