RCA shaded dog ???
The little dog, his master's voice, is "shaded"...ie not plain white but brownish. At least that's what I've always taken it to mean 
Help--SACD volume too low
My older sony 775 has onboard "bass management" that includes digital "balance" controls between speakers.. I don't use this, but it could also be if your sony has them that they are set wrong...low. Also, some sacds, and in particular I have expe... 
Best configuration for Pioneer DV-47 & Theta DAC?
I think it has to be the way you ended up with...PCM is the cd format. I don't know what the dolby digital out format is, but it seems like it doesnt conform to the cd standard. There is probably someone out there who is more sure of this than me,...

DIY cable information wanted
Check out Audioasylum.com, their cable section. Do a search for (John) Risch--he has tons of diy ideas. I havent done the speaker stuff, but his interconnects are great ideas. Maybe you already know this, but in case you don't. 
Which hi-end Sony SACD player to buy?

Which hi-end Sony SACD player to buy?
Hey, if today's postings at audioasylum are accurate...don't buy any sacd...a guy there said he talked to sony and they are dropping sacd in six months.. I do not know how to evaluate the post--whether it is true, false or what. I hope it's false.... 
Music Club CD's Quality Data Point
Sounds like MHS remasters and produces their own cd's. I dont think the bigger clubs do that. Does anyone know? 
Can someone recommend a few Joni Michell albums?
Viridian, it was a joke...both titles (now). Seriously speaking however,, I just listened to Blue for the first time in years and was reminded that "Carey" and "A Case of You" are two of the finest songs ever written. I also think the For the Rose...

Kind of Blue and Miles in the Aisles--both great albums!
