| What amp/pre-amp would you buy for $12-15k? Dare I say that a $12k pre/power combination into B&W 802 Nautilus may be deserving of a more refined CDP than the Rotel? Which Rotel is it?Regards, | |
| Replacing Nano with iPod for Best Sound Big mistake. You should have bought her iPrada. ;-)Regards, | |
| Sony SCD-XA5400ES-Best SACD for under $10,000 I understand completely. I'm still working so there is still a little cash coming in.Anyway, it can't hurt to talk to Bill. Best of luck to you.Regards, | |

| Sony SCD-XA5400ES-Best SACD for under $10,000 I would certainly consider the VSE mods to your 5400 with the Terra Firma Lite clock. I heard this in Allen Wright's system in Schaffhausen and he uses Acoustats so any glare in the delivery system would be exposed. You need precision in the trebl... | |

| Your Personal Soundtrack I've been listening to the first batch of 25 Blue Note SACDs from Analogue Production. These are fantastic. I find that I can read with much more concentration when the music has no vocals, so jazz gets a fair bit of my time lately. Just finished ... | |
| Best Line Conditioner Why not upgrade within the Running Springs Audio range to the "Maxim"? It has 4 outlets. You already have the HZ Crown Jewel power cord so you could get the basic model and put the cord that comes with it with the Haley and sell that combination.I... | |
| SONY XA5400ES - Preliminary Observations My XA777ES was extensively modified by Ric Schultz (EVS) and I haven't put it back in to compare since I bought the 5400. I had been using the same source for 7 years or more, so I was pretty well acquainted with the sound of my system. I wanted t... | |
| SONY XA5400ES - Preliminary Observations I can still buy the optical block for my Sony SCD-XA777ES (the laser assembly fits many other models) which I bought 9 years ago. There is no reason not to expect the optical block for the 5400 to have a similar lifespan. I also have a 5400.Regards, | |
