Reversing Polarity -- Voodoo or Easy Tweak?
Trust your ears, Jea48. 
Reversing Polarity -- Voodoo or Easy Tweak?
Cwlondon, I understood you in your first post. Few are stupid enough to wire one speaker out of phase with the other. Absolute polarity is a different matter. I wish I had an easy way to have switchable polarity, so that I had a choice, but I don'... 
Best solid state pre-amp below US $ 10.000,00 ??
I had a Cello Suite preamp. Is the Cello 1 Ohm a new unit? 
ELP laser turntable - any comments?
Since the ELP dates back probably 20 years, it is most dated technology.Maybe on the profits from the Intelligent Chip, Golden Sound might be a prospect. 
ELP laser turntable - any comments?
TAS reviews the ELP in the new issue. Valin finds all records sound the same on it and sound dull. This is totally at odds with what I heard at CES2004. I would characterize it as sounding quite different from other vinyl systems. I thought record... 
ELP laser turntable - any comments?
The Loricraft record cleaner seems up to the task of cleaning even old dirty records for use with the ELP. At CES2004, SMART bought old records in Vegas. They were terrible initially, but after a cleaning they worked great, especially the Peggy Le...

Tomryan, and run on sentences with parenthetical comments? 
Sacd/dvd-a, The Hype Is Dead, For Me At Least...
Tvad, I would agree about the debate, but words, such as hype and dead, hardly suggest it. That is the whole purpose of my initial post on this thread. I don't think the claims of sacd are hype, and I have yet to see evidence that it is dead.

I have never owned a dedicated sacd player. I don't think they exist. Every sacd player I have owned also plays cd and the newer universal players, such as the Denon2900, 3910, and 5910, play all format including HDCD. I will again soon have a red... 
Any one else has a problem re: shipping damage
I do not understand how such damage could have been done to cables with the outer box being undamaged. Were I UPS, I would conclude that they were damaged before shipment.

Matrix, in this post I entirely agree. It is just that I am not certain that sacd is dead nor that it was hype, such as you say in your initial post.Redbook has advanced greatly in the last five years. How much further it could go, I certainly wou... 
ELP laser turntable - any comments?
Eldartford, just think if the unit could keep the record playing in an earthquake!What seems to be an interesting difference between the unit is that with the Halcyonic there might not be a resonant frequency. This may make no difference. At any r...

Ben, if you look at my first two posts on this thread, they have nothing to do with what you said. The first is just my two bits, and the second is merely to wonder why anyone feels the need to post about this.

User, the 17.6" x 16" Micro 40 is $7890. I cannot imagine that anything like a .5 inch vertical or .75 horizontal travel could ever happen with the Halcyonics. The correction would have done whatever it could with even a fraction of this.I am not ...
