Coincident Cables Experiences? Any Good?
Redkiwi - I'll justify my response by saying that I have heard a better cable in my system but it is more expensive and as I now sell these particular cables I would not mention their name as I would not intend to use the discussion forum as a sha... 
Coincident Cables Experiences? Any Good?
Have not heard their new Reference speaker cable as they do not allow for audition (no local dealer) and they are a little pricy to buy "unheard". Have owned their CST ic and you have to spend much more money to get a better copper cable at its pr... 
Sony Multi-Disc SACD
I am really enjoying my new 333ES but wince every time I see the software prices! Here in Canada HMV.com has just listed more titles and from other labels at nice prices although still substantially more than redbook cds. Rumour has it that Sony i... 
SONY SCD S333ES
While I have only been living with my new 333ES for 2 days now, I can say it does a very nice job on redbook cds. On SACD it is a marvel. Here in Canada the 777ES is prohibitively expensive at $2850 ($cdn) so I cannot offer a comparison. On HDCD d... 
What to do? What to do?
You will no doubt get a plethera of choices from knowledgeable posters but it might help them narrow down the suggestions if you provide a desired price range. 
Running bi-wire cables backwards OK?
While this is slightly off the topic I thought there were in fact some "directional" interconnects - had something to do with how the cable was grounded???? 
Bryston 4B-ST or 4B-NRB?
Have to agree with Sdcampbell on this one. Having owned various Bryston gear over the last 12 years or so I can that the ST series is their best bar far. If you wanted a good strong amp for a home theater application where the desire is to reprodu... 
Cambridge Audio D500SE CD player
Just was no comparison against the BDR cones and sand bags - much more focus with none of the harshness the other tweaks brought out on my Alpha 8SE. 
Snake oil and tweaks that work!
Thanks to Megasam who informed me about the inner tube under my cdp I am exremely happy with the results. By far and away the best $4 I have ever spent on audio... 
best all around monitor
Choices, choices and still more choices. My vote for a really nice monitor (current model) would be the Coincident Triumph Signature - nice build, very easy to drive, maybe a little pricy by some standards but non-the-less a good buy IMHO. I also ... 
Bryston Amp v.s others?
While their are quite a few choices at the 4BST price point, I feel that the 4BST offers a great overall deal - great sonics, bass slam, superb construction and one of the best warranties in the biz. I love mine... 
Static/scratchiness - driving me crazy!!
I didn't think I had to swap out the ic's as the static disappeared when I "inserted" the older Adcom cdp and kept all the remaining system the same. Will try it again and swap out the ic's (just in case)this evening and see what transpires. If al... 
Custom fees between Canada and USA
Martin - you might find something at the Revenue Canada & Customs website (not sure of web address). As Turbo indicated, you will have to pay the appropriate taxes and if shipped via USPS,Canada Post will charge you a $5 handling charge to col...
