A question about cable break-in
I would just listen to them while they break in as Twl says, maybe you will hear the change and learn something you can pass on. 
The plight of SACD....
Boy, when I clicked on my favorites this morning I thought I had clicked on the audio asylum site. Debate is good. 
Krell FPB-300 -W?- Pre- AR MRK 11 or BAT 50SE-51SE
You could try a passive preamp, A transformer type unit will get rid of that somewhat bright/harch sound. Transformer passives don't suffer from the same problems that resistor based units have. I have a krell ksa250 amp and a sony xa777 sacd play...

Why can't I get clear sound?
Your speakers and amp should sound very nice, they both get great reviews. Check and make sure your speakers are wired in phase. Most computer sound cards sound really bad so you should not use your computers analog outs for music unless it has a ... 
Denon 5803 Vs Sunfire Ultimate Receiver
The sunfire web site says the receiver has the same processor as the stand alone theatergrand model. I have the theatergrand processor in my hometheater and it is one of the best out there IMHO. I don't know how good the amps in it are though as I... 
Where can I find a list of all 600 SACD titles?

Original Rega Planet Question
The original planet goes back a ways so there are lots of them out there and this may explain why they show up for sale frequently. Some thought the original to be kind of dry sounding in some systems. 
5.1 vs 3 channel???
I have gone to football games and thought the same thing a few times( all that beer they sell ). Anyway, yes you could do that and yes you would be missing something but three speakers would still be better than only one. He probably had the footb... 
sony xa 777es how good?
The sony is an sacd player so I think you would have to say that it is the red book play that is thrown in for free. When I bought my player I wanted something that was top notch on sacd and at least very good on red book. The sony has more than f... 
XRCD vs. SACD
I think really good sacd played on even one of the very few good sacd players out there sounds as good as any vinyl you can throw at it. To hear people talk you would think every vinyl album out there sounds like gods gift to man,lets get real peo... 
Is 5.1 Really This Bad?
I have been playing around with it on my system a little bit lately, I have dvd audio and sacd multichannel. So far I do not think most of the stuff I have sounds very good. I can not blame that on my system in anyway so far,it seems to be disc re... 
Sunfire Signature/SVS Subs and integration
Zbob, I think the reason you don't hear much about svs subs on this forum is because hometheater is just not as big around here. When I am dealing with my hometheater Q&A problems I usually go to one of the other forum sites. I am in to hometh... 
Standard Def Reception on an HDTV set
If the hdtv has a built in line dubbler (Not all do) it will make standard tv look better. If you have sat. or cable you will have a good picture anyway because they both offer digital picture, over the air and analog cable would be line dubbled, ...
