| Is there a way to clean... "Pawlowski, thanks for the pointer to the thread. I read through it and found some good ideas. Your method sounds interesting, but is there any danger in the application of steam to the vinyl surface?"I think the only risk is that you don't keep t... | |

| Am I the only one purchasing hybrid disc's....... I think it depends. I think if the Hybrid SACD is being re-mastered, the Redbook layer can potentially sound better. that's what I've discovered. Some are better, some worse. | |

| SACD vs. Redbook with NOS DAC Thanx Paul. I'm going to drop out of this thread since I don't know what the hell I'm talking about!!Although the topic is intriguing. | |
| SACD vs. Redbook with NOS DAC Oh, is that what NOS means in this context. I really did think it means New Old Stock. Duh. | |
| SACD vs. Redbook with NOS DAC Paulfolbrecht, I'm not talking about an evolution in technology paradigms i.e., CD player to MP3, I'm talking about improving a CDP. Do you guys expect me to believe that all these engineers spend gobs of hours and money re-designing, listening, R... |
