What is a good analog rig for me?
I will "amen" nrchy recommendations. I own the SCD 777ES and the SOTA sapphire with vintage FR arm more than matches it. A Cosmos should be a big step up!!!Have Fun! 
Question for Tragically Hip fans
GO SEE THEM LIVE. Saw them in 91 in Rhode Island at a small club in Providence (which would be right out of a Soprano's set nowadays) with maybe 100 people total, with about five of us paying attention. I was right in front of Gordie for over an h...

Special "phono cables" from turntable to phonostag
I come from the same doubting background. I did not believe that cables made much, if any, improvement. I definitely changed my mind and heard a difference going from Monster to Audioquest to Goertz. I recently upgraded to a SOTA turntable. I need...

Any Problems with Conrad Johnson Premier 140?
Yes, I am a died in the wool CJ lover (Hell it was a CJ combo that floored me and ramped up my interest in audio equip in the late 70's) but I am wondering about the 140.I would think that the 8's remain the "statement" product even though discont...

Wadia think about expensive CD Players ?
Ed Sawyer echoes what I believe. I can't think of a better deal than a SCD1 or 777 playing SACD, although, I freely admit that I haven't heard the really top drawer CD players. The 777 plays CD well enough for my purposes that I am off the upgrade...

After 5 years, format war? What format war?
I really enjoy SACD but like Sd the prices keep my purchases to a minimum. I am glad BMG has started carrying the Dylan SACD's and I can get some brand new Dylan titiles for under eight dollars delivered. I will probably get the Patricia Barber ca... 
Question re Celtic/Irish/Chieftains music
Well this is a little to the left of traditional Celtic but if you like rock and celtic influence try the Waterboys. I think Fisherman's Blues is a great album. One side primarily more of a rock influence and one side more "traditional". Also, I j...
