Playing SACD on a Non-SACD Player
1-bit DSD can be down-converted into standard 24, 20 or even 16-bit PCM audio for CD distribution while still retaining the maximum possible audio quality. The system's 2.8224 MHz sampling rate is specifically designed for high precision down-conv... 
Playing SACD on a Non-SACD Player
The main problem with standard PCM technology is that it requires both steep (brick wall) filters to block frequencies above 20kHz (specifically at 22.05kHz) which is difficult to build. It also requires the addition of re-quantization noise for i... 
More Power is always good?
Just because someones spends a lot of money on a 3 watt amp doesn't mean it's necessarily good.

One still gets the benefits from DSD when playing an SACD disc back in a redbook machine. 
Small circulating fan to cool amps
It won't cause a problem except for being a wall wart and may take up too much space. A small extension cord can be plugged into the PS Audio and the wall wart can be plugged into it.

I still think you should buy a 12vdc power supply and then you can plug the fans into the wall recepticle like you want to. Get one with enough amp rating to run all three off the same supply. Radio Shack should have them too.

Tired of my crappy remote. Any suggestions?
If the remote is defective it can be repaired by remotes.com. I just had a sony remote repaired by them and it now works great. 
Help, what's the best "Sticky FIngers?"
MoFi really screwed some things up. I have the Virgin CD remastered by Bob Ludwig. Some of it is decent but for the most part it is not very good. Not much of the Stones stuff sounds very good. 
The Wall - Live In Berlin LP Question
I have this on DVD. It is very fun to watch also. 
Hooking up additional amps
When biamping without an electronic xover, it is important for the amps to be very similar in output. If you use the balanced outs on the Line 3, you will have 6db more output from the mono amps. Try it and see how it sounds. If need be, you can g... 
sme 312 bearing upgrade
Interesting. I have a brand new 312 still in the box. 
sme 312 bearing upgrade
So, is SME saying the bearings are the same in the V and 312? That's what it appears.

They will probably say the 312 is too heavy to use the same bearings as the V.
