What I want to see in the next gen of SACD players
Tom,Just my opinion, is it not better to have straight two channel rather than 2 +LFE? Since having LFE will mean some sort of processing in the player. If someone has a subwoofer with high level input there is not really any processing done but t... 
Musical Fidelity's x10-v3 tube output buffer?
It does not work with most of the cd player amp/preamp combinations as in my opinion it smears the high frequency and robs the shimmer from the recordings, I owned it when I bought the Marantz CD-63SE with which it was a good match for some reason...

which subwoofer?

Bi-wire Cable Choices?...
