DEMAND DSD
Thanks for this discussion. I am beginning to love my CDs even more :-) I wish more non-classical music was available. Don't care for Blu-Ray as of now....but hey, who has been to the future yet? 
Cayin a-T88, parasound halo a21 or luxman 550A II?
Jedinite24,I was in the same boat as Junglern when I wanted to buy a preamp and power amp. It gets crazy when you have so many options, but very few that you can actually go and listen to.Junglern,I have not listened to the Cayin or Luxman. But I ... 
Marantz SA-7S1 Vs Cary 306 and Esoteric X-03SE
If I had the dough, the Marantz would be my first choice. Purely based on user feed back and reviews of these 3 units. Here is a comparison between the Marantz and Cary:http://10audio.com/marantz_sa-7s1_cary_306pro.htmI wish Marantz players had HD... 
SACD player with digital input
If you wouldn't care about SACDs anymore, why are you looking for a SACD player? Maybe you should look for a regular CD player. 
Forsell Air Reference Mk 2 Worth buying?
For some reason, I always though this as a CD transport rather than a turntable. I have heard it in 1997 in a system costing > $60K and it sounded awesome. Is this the one you are referring to (Air series)?http://www.drforsell.com/products.htm#

Music you HATE the most but once you LOVED it
Has2be, you make a very nice point there. 
Wharfedale Evo 30
I had auditioned these speakers 5 years back and they were pretty good. Remember that you need a lot of space behind them to sound their best...else they will sound bass-heavy. They will server you very well - at least for the $ you are spending. ... 
Music you HATE the most but once you LOVED it
I don't agree to your thread. As a music lover I might NOT LIKE certain music. But HATE....that is too strong a word for music, and it is not what I feel. I used to listen to a lot of pop music as a teenager that I don't like to listen to any more... 
How to remove black rings left by rubber feet?
The orthodox method to do that is to use soft cotton or cotton cloth dabbed in cooking oil or coconut oil- very lightly as necessary. Rub gently on the spot/place. Clean off excess oil with dry, but soft, cotton cloth. Alternative to cotton cloth ... 
New Marantz SA11S2?
08-14-10: LulaMy impression of Fremer's review of the Cary 303T was one of great praise! In reading between the lines, he seems to prefer the player over the more expensive Cary 306 PRO.I find this the "tube" effect. "It has tubes, so it certainly... 
The CD player is dead.......
Devilboy,To me it looks like you want to show off your new Weiss DAC!! Gimme a break from the computers...it's my profession. Don't want them when I relax!!!! 
Cable conundrum: Parasound A21 with RCA AND XLR
Good to know that Parasound provided you a great service. I am simply stunned by this amp every time I listen to my music. Which tube pre-amps are you considering? 
Which of these SACD players would you choose?
"The Pioneer is probably over 8 years old and the Integra is fairly new. I'm not sure why that matters as they nearly sound the same. "For some reason I thought you were comparing the new Pioneer to Integra that already had some hours on it. The r...
