| The Ultimate SACD Machine I think the EMM sound on the SACDs I own is just plain awesome. I am really sorry SACD never caught on (like,unfortunately, MP3). (I have the CDSA and the DCC2/CDSD SE pair.)I have some SACDs from Cindy Lauper and the Stones and Boston that produc... | |
| Tweaks for EMM CDSA SE ... ? I did lots of A/B testing with my EMM and keep coming back to the Stealth Indras. Even with RCA's, they have that last little bit of sweetness and non-bitterness in the highs and control/resonance in the bass and an overall natural sound overall t... | |
| Desktop Speakers for 10 wpc 300B Integrated I really love my little Quad 9Ls. They are very natural.They fit right on the desk. (Oh, I forgot these are self-powered so run right from the source. Still, they are great speakers. Maybe you can skip the amp...) | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? While it really depends on the recording, I think the remaining issue in digital is occasional glare in vocals and maybe a woodwind or upper-midrange piano note sometimes. But this is much less prevalent nowadays. | |
| Real Music vs Audiophile Mumbo Jumbo Actually, Broadway does a much better job with music. Hair on Broadway last year in a small theater sounded really fine; I really appreciated the intimate acoustics. But I usually need earplugs at rock concerts and can't listen to music for a day ... | |
| Real Music vs Audiophile Mumbo Jumbo Apogee speakers sounded kind of live to me when I had them.(Stages, 1995.) | |

| Vibration control devices for EMM CDSA. Thanks everyone and Sabai once again. | |
| Can all power cords be classified as 1 of 2 types? Hey Pops, I know the feeling. Some of these power cord makers seem to think you will arrange everything around their cords. | |
| Can all power cords be classified as 1 of 2 types? Interesting stuff RTN1, and thanks for the other replies, too. I didn't want to bring the whole area of power conditioners into this discussion as that is a whole other pandora's box. | |
| Can all power cords be classified as 1 of 2 types? Hey Stan, thanks for that reply; it pretty much says it all. Basically, it is a struggle with too many independent variables to make choosing things easy.Somehow, things seemed easier back in the 70's using lamp cord and the captive ICs and power ... | |
| Tweaks for EMM CDSA SE ... ? Yes, thank you Sabai. I am still considering my options too (including just playing around with power cords).It is amazing how much power makes a difference in tonal quality, especially in the bass and high treble).The changes with power input are... | |
| Tweaks for EMM CDSA SE ... ? Thanks Sabai.EMM said that the X upgrade is very significant,like night & day. I from them that the change is more than just power supply, butinvolved the digital processing itself. | |
| Tweaks for EMM CDSA SE ... ? OK, thanks again for all that. Actually, it seems that doing both the upgrade and getting the SR may be worthwhile.I have some SR cables and do feel they are great, especially for the cost. | |
| Meridian 808.3 I found this interesting review about the 808.3, where it sounds very favorable, but the text sounds like it is ruthlessly revealing, and says that it appeals to the intellect rather than emotions, which sounds kind of negative to me.techradar.com... |
