Q about switching from cd to aux. on my Jolida
It can be an issue with some components caused by insufficient isolation between inputs. It shouldn't happen and normally doesn't on high quality equipment. In my experience it is more likely with cheaper components. It reflects the cost cutting a... 
Celestion woofers--SL6s and SL700
They do not. I owned the 700se. It is one of my all time favorite speakers. I blew a woofer in one and found the drivers were no longer available. Replaced both woofers with the 6L6 version and the magic was gone. 
IEC Adapter
Ed, that's the one. Thanks. 
Will an external DAC work on SACD?
I couple of very high-end players will output DSD to a DAC. For the vast majority, DSD (SACD) is only available from the analog outputs. I believe most are limited at 48 on the digital output. For example, My 24/96 DVD-Audio (PCM) discs get down-r... 
IEC Adapter
Thanks to all. I found a couple of sources. 
IEC Adapter
Stringreen, thanks but that's not what I need. I checked with Chris at VH and they don't have it. 
Rega P5 or move up to the P9 ?
We usually get the itch to upgrade when we want something different. The P9 is excellent but the sound is going to be very much like the P5. It's better but enough to feel like you've made a giant leap forward? I don't know. If possible try to aud... 
Which TT the Pro-Ject RM-5 SE or Rega P3-24?
Tvad, I've done that more than once. :-) 
Which TT the Pro-Ject RM-5 SE or Rega P3-24?
Rega actually has very few upgrades for their tables. Most of what you see aftermarket items. With the exception of the external power supply what other upgrades does Rega offer? 
Which TT the Pro-Ject RM-5 SE or Rega P3-24?
Only you can decide which is better. If I were choosing between the Pro-Ject and Rega it would be the latter. However, if you like the current performance of your table the upgrades should only make it better. 
Which TT the Pro-Ject RM-5 SE or Rega P3-24?
Near Mint records, properly cleaned, can sound very quiet. They will never be as quiet as digital. Analog LPsare played back via a friction based medium. The musical satisfaction, in my opinion far outweighs the flaws. Trashed and dirty records ar... 
Which TT the Pro-Ject RM-5 SE or Rega P3-24?
I agree with Tvad's suggestion you audition the Technics. Its' build quality and speed stability are superior to the Rega. That being said, in my experience, when both are properly set up I prefer the sound of the Rega. It's a personal choice. 
best support shelf/isolation device for a rega p9?
The Rega wall mount is ideal and not all that expensive. 
Which TT the Pro-Ject RM-5 SE or Rega P3-24?
I suggest the Rega and, properly set up, it should outperform your Rotel. I'm not a fan of the Project arms and feel the Rega arm is superior. When your budget allows you can add the Rega outboard speed controller that makes the table even better ... 
Linear arm recommendations
Bang for the buck I can't think a better choice than the Emminent Technology 2.0 or 2.5. Stay away from the Rabco arms. In my experience they are a nightmare to maintain so they run consistently.
