| About the EMM Labs DAC You know what? If you buy a Porsche Carerra, you can't haul the soccer team around. There are always trade-offs. The Linn CD12 costs $20,000 and doesn't play SACD or DVD-A. Since no player or format will make badly recorded software sound like wel... | |

| About the EMM Labs DAC Do a Google search on Ed Meitner. He has been "THE MAN" when it comes to digital for quite some time. He was making his DACS for the professional market and record companies were using them to make SACD's. His DAC is so good, as is his Switchman p... | |
| Revel Studio or Revel Salon? The Revel sound is completely different from the Wilson. I prefer the sound of the watt/puppies over the Salons or Studios. Just depends onyour ears. To me, the big Revel speakers sound too big, like you're listening to an acoustic guitar the size... | |
| About the EMM Labs DAC EmmLabs makes a two channel version -- it is called the DCC2 and it *is* less expensive than the DAC6. What this player does for redbookCD's is nothing short of amazing. I have over 1,000 redbook CD's, soredbook play-back was my primary concern. O... | |

| Speaker Cables for B&W CDM 7SE Personally, i don't have a problem with Monster speaker cables, although they are over-priced. You can get the same cables without the Monsterbrand name on them for less. It is Monster interconnects that I don't care for. IMO, they are based on so... | |
| Speaker Cables for B&W CDM 7SE If you're not getting a full sound with bass, I would look into upgrading your speakers rather than try to produce bass in a limited range speakerby trying to find cables that will produce bass in a speaker that doesn'tproduce that much bass. Next... | |
| I auditioned SACD today Rec wrote, "There was no question that the SACD layer had a bigger soundstage and better detail than the Redbook layer..." So, it is not correct to say that he heard no difference. | |
| About the EMM Labs DAC With the propietary connection between the Emm Labs/Philips transport and the EMM Labs DAC, Meitner is able to completely eliminate jitter andit allows redbood CD's [PCM] to be converted to DSD. Of course, I lovethe SACD playback on my Emm Labs Da... | |
| I auditioned SACD today I think the premise that "the most serious music lovers among us are not jumping in" is flawed. Serious audio enthusiasts *are* jumping in. Secondly, I think you have to do a little study of adoption cycles. I just read a curious fact; The first V... |
