SACD hybrids bad policy from Sony/Columbia?
Go DVD-Audio! 
Feelings when listening Rel ST Series subwoofers
I have an Art of Sound (which uses a REL clone amp and simliar Peerless drivers) sub. I use mine for both 2-channel and HT. This hooks up the same way also with Speakon and low level inputs connected simultaneously. It is awsome with music, meanin... 
Whats on your turntable tonight?
Beatles MSFL Sgt. Peppers just to make sure of its condition before I sold it. 
Faroujda DV1000 vs. Denon 1600 vs. Arcam DV88
You're right, they're not cheap in any sense of the word. The DV-78 is only $999 new. The DV-89 has progressive scan (which I'm not set up to use. It's for the future.). I believe the 88+ does also, just not DVD-Audio. I bought it as a great CD pl... 
Best DVD Player $1000-$2000
I just bought the Arcam DV-89. It's the best I've seen/heard in the price range you're looking

I agree with what Mike said. I'm not really a fan of all the same cables either. Piano music is a terrific baseline for comparisons. I also have SS equipment. B&K 507, Arcam DV-89, Tannoy speakers, Art of Sound Sub, BEL-the wire I/C's and Dima... 
Faroujda DV1000 vs. Denon 1600 vs. Arcam DV88
I just bought an Arcam DV-89 and it does both audio and video beautifully. The next step up from here would be Meridian. For the money, look at the DV-78 before you consider any mass produced, low-fi consumer-marketed product such as Denon, Pionee... 
One big subwoofer or two weaker subwoofers?
Mavilla, are you really considering different subwoofers or did you start this thread just to see the blood? :-) 
Beatles - Vinyl LPs
I've got a Sgt. Pepper's MSFL in excellent condition that needs another home. My analog system isn't up to the standards to do this pressing justice. 
Pics with ads?
Pictures, Pictures, Pictures...... I guess if I had asked Marco for pics of all the LP's I just purchased, I probably wouldn't own them today. Sometimes, it's just about trust. BTW, thanks for all the great tunes Marco. 
Looking for recommendations for CD player
You know, the new Rotel RCD-1072 just received a spectaular review in TAS (Product of the Year). It's listed at $699.00. 
What power cord would you recommend?
I second Semwin1 on some points. There is a lot of homemade junk around. Understanding that if you take your outlet out of the wall and connect all of the wires together w/o cutting the circuit at the breaker box, something electrically bad will h... 
What power cord would you recommend?
Sugarbrie, Is your recommendation based on synergy with Arcam? I'm asking because I'm expecting my DV-89 to arrive in a couple of days and I've been looking for the right P/C for it. I realize that amplifiers and front end digital have different P... 
What music do you want to play really loud?
Marco, did you keep some albums back? Was Chitty, Chitty, Bang, Bang one of them? Damn! 
Pics with ads?
I agree Marco. I mentioned in my first post that pics are only useful if they are of the actual item. I stand by that and may even hedge buying from someone who uses website pics for the very reason you mention. As far as how difficult is it to pr...
