Has anyone tried Audioquest Rocket 88 Cables?
I have read on some forums that Audioquest cables are a very good match for B&W's. They tend to use solid core conductors which seem to work best especially with the 800 series B&W's. 
Universal Player question
Revox? Did Revox make an SACD player? 
How to listen to the good stuff?
You mention that you did hear one system that sounded great. Was that at a dealer? If so I would continue to visit that dealer and try to ascertain what you need through that store. If they have demonstrated once that they are capable of putting t... 
Did you hear that ALBUM?
Of course i still say that because it is proper and correct. Any collection of songs put together on a recording regardless of the medium it is stored on is an album. The word album does not refer strictly to the Lp record, it means a collection o... 
Best Speaker synergy with AudioReseach and Bryston
I have two friends who are running SP-9's with Bryston amplification (one a 4B NRB the other a 4B-ST) they both use Von Swenkert loudspeakers with excellent results. The friend with the NRB uses VR-3's and the other uses VR-4's.

Where do you have your rack?
Gawdbless;Linn of Scotland used to claim that any other speakers in your listening room, other than the ones directly connected to your main audio system will detrimentally affect the sound of that system. It was their contention that the smaller ...

Best Value in Used Bryston Amps and Monoblocks
Hmmm, SCD-1 twenty years ago? Not possible. Maybe ten years ago. The SACD format has only been around for less than ten years. Maybe some of that memory is mixed up with another one. 
Best Value in Used Bryston Amps and Monoblocks
Bryston produces only two full chassis mono-block amplifiers, the 7B and the flagship 28B. They do also make three different versions of the Powerpack mono amps which are designed to be installed directly onto the cabinets of certain loudspeakers....

Kind of Blue SACD question?
Mine is the multi-channel version. I put it on last night, as I haven't listened to it recently, and while I found that I had to turn the volume up a little bit to match most of my other SACD's, I certainly didn't have to crank it way up that's fo... 
Kind of Blue SACD question?
Hmm, mine seems to be in line, volume wise with the rest of my SACD's.
