| SA-CD/DVD-A? Redbook CD's are standard CD's. I get most of my SACD's from either http://store.acousticsounds.com/ or Amazon.com, but I have also bought them from Tower Records and Best Buy. | |
| SA-CD/DVD-A? If there is any irony in this thread, it would be listening to people talk about what how SACD's are an audiophile niche product and then go on to say that's why they're sticking with vinyl. They have a small slot at RECORD STORES?Hello?It has bee... | |
| How Good Can Digital Get? I would hazard a guess that about 50% of the audio world is about enjoying music and sharing the path to that enjoyment with others.But, humans have an inherrent need to self-actualize. The dark side of this is the need to feel superior to others.... | |
| Which multi-CD player is best? The Apogee Mini-Dac has a volume control and can be plugged straight into one's amplifiers. That's how I use it in one of my systems. The Apogee, with its USB capability, offers ultimate flexibility as well as wonderful sound. The Apogee also has ... | |
| Which multi-CD player is best? I would suggest a different approach. Instead of a multi-CD player, use a computer hard drive. You can rip your entire collection to a hard drive, uncompressed. Then, take the signal out of the computer in digital through the USB port, feed it to ... | |
| Best sub4k amplification and processing? None of the gear under discussion employs tubes. | |
| Best sub4k amplification and processing? I'm strictly two-channel for music. I use a surround processor for movies only, although I have used both an Anthem AVM20 and a Proceed AVP2 in the past when I tried to combine HT and two channel in the same system. As I wrote, the Anthem is a rea... | |

| Best sub4k amplification and processing? What amps are you using for your Khoruses right now?Keep those, add a three channel amp and a used Proceed AVP2.Will sound a lot better than the receivers you're considering andwill still keep you in the same price range. | |
| Best sub4k amplification and processing? Another way to go would be to pick up a used Proceed AVP2 for your surround processor. If you're looking for a really neutral two-channel pass through with a remote control that will also do surround processing andyou don't care about the bells an... | |
| Best sub4k amplification and processing? If you don't care about Firewire and HDMI, I would seriously think about buying separates used. As someone else mentioned, you could get an Anthem AVM 20, used, for around $2,000. I don't see a receiver as the way to get great two-channel sound. I... | |
| Best sub4k amplification and processing? The Denon AVR-3805 has Denon-Link, which will pass DVD-A, but has not been approved for SACD. It has component video switching capabilities, but not HDMI. This is why decsions have to made with regard to the importance of these features. Once a de... |
