Need Help From The Resident Experts
Agreed, he is.  Unfortunately, my road trip will be postponed for 3 weeks due to my wife working the next 2 weekends and Columbus day.  I won't get down there until the weekend after Columbus Day.  I am so impatient though.  Kind of sorry I asked ... 
Dark Side of the Moon - Is MFSL really all that?
Erik..........On my system, the latest Experience Edition sounds the best for cd, followed by the SACD Remaster.  The Experience Edition is 2 disks, the second disk is a live recording of Dark Side from Wembley Stadium.  The MFSL comes in third, a... 
Dark Side of the Moon - Is MFSL really all that?
I have that version as well.  I thought it was done in 1978?  The half speed mastering is unbelievable.  I don't understand why the LP has less hiss than the MFSL CD that I also have.  I have 9 LP's of Dark side, 5 CD's and 3 downloads plus a DVD ...

I spoke with John Rutan at Audio Connection and I will be traveling there Saturday to audition the Belles Aria preamp.  I  may also audition the Rogue RP-5 if the Aria doesn't float my boat.  Thanks to all for their input, the information I receiv...

Marantz SA 8005 break in
When I had my SA-8004, it had that treble hardness for the 2 years I owned it.  The player probably had at least 2000 hours on it and that treble harshness never went away.  I sold it and bought an Esoteric instead.  There was no break in time wit... 
Tell Us about an Album That Took a Long Time to Grow on You
Amused to Death by Roger Waters.  It took me years to get through the entire album as before I was listening to just a few choice songs.  The Q sound is excellent as well.  The DSD version is incredible and the soundstage extends far beyond the sp... 
Dark Side of the Moon - Is MFSL really all that?
I have both the MFSL cd and vinyl and the vinyl is much better although not nearly as good as an original pressing I bought back in 1973.  The cd also seems to have much less gain than other cd's. 
What Did I Do Wrong?
I sent you a PM.No, the Cronus Magnum is long gone now.

Shorten my speaker cables?
"many people say more than 2 Meters is no good."That is a bunch of bologna.  I have been using 22 foot runs of speaker cable in my main system for over 21 years and my system sounds killer.  just for the heck of it, 5 years ago I moved my equipmen...
