Any good $100 DVD players.
I've got a 6 month old Denon 5 disc carousel I would sell you fro 100.00 plus shipping 
Best cd player for around $3500?
Also look at the Linn Ikemi, I know of a Demo unit for around 2800.00 good disccount 4000.00 new. 
CD player not reading
I would say that if you can dis-assemble the unit down to where you can access the lens try using canned air first. Then if no progress is made try a water moist Q-Tip and extremely gently wipe it down. I would be carful with the alchohol as it mi... 
Anyone heard the new Moody Blues SACDs yet?
MoFi, I'm just clinging to those younger years of long long ago! By the way just spoke with all the big three Sellers Acoustic Sounds , Elusive Disc and Music Direct and it appears that they were all mis-lead by the distributer in that "In Search ... 
Anyone heard the new Moody Blues SACDs yet?
I received mine and am listening to them one by one and find that they seem to have more information or at least are mixed more forward. I was very disappointed in finding that "In Search of the Lost Chord" was only 2 channel and not 5.1 as advert... 
Does a McIntosh MX-132 have a HDMI hookup?
No the MX132 was released long before HDMI or even DVI. It also does not have component switching either. I have had the 132, 134 and now the MX135 and it only has component, no HDMI. 
Best interconnects for AYRE gear ?
I am using Cardas Golden Reference on my C5xe and I beleive that Ayre does use a lot of Cardas on internal wiring. I know they offer the Myrtle Blocks same as Cardas only with the Ayre logo. There seems to be a connection there between the two com... 
Marantz DV8400 SACD/CD question
Bummer. I don't know why Marantz does some of things they do. I had the 8300,8400, and 9500 and finally tried the Denon and it does let you do more from the faceplate and remote. I think the Marantz actually sounded better on Redbook than the Deno... 
Marantz DV8400 SACD/CD question
It's been a while since I had the DV8400 or DV9500 but I believe you can set the CD layer as a default using the video. But you will have to use the video to access the SACD layer. They don't have a button to switch back and forth. It is disappoin... 
Linn Linto reducing gain
I own one and I haven't looked for a while but I think the wire is marked on the pc board. If not contact a dealer. 
Gene Pitney RIP
2nd Man who shot Liberty Valance, add Town Without Pity, It Hurts to be In love, 24 Hours from Tulsa, She's a Heartbreaker and On and On and On it goes. A true talent and inspirational artist indeed. Thank God we have records of his existance. 
Do any of you fear dismantling your setups?
It is a chore, buy I am faced with that task some day when I can dedicate a whole day to it. I need to add a few castors to the cabinet and with a combo HT /2 channel system and heavy McIntosh amps. I just keep finding excuses not to do it. But it... 
Please, DON'T TOUCH
It all really comes down to that our society has lost it's grip on what a parental responsibility is. It turns out that involves more than buying Nike shoes and driveng them to Soccer practice. It seems as thought the word "no" is slowing being om... 
Sony SCD-1 Player NO DISC DETECT
I had this issue with a Denon DVD5910 and after I had returned it I finnally got a good answer from a Denon service tech. He stated it was s "disc read error" and it would require a re-alignment of the laser. Sounds like you need to send it in. Yo... 
Question about solder
Kind of a split here between RS and the other Solders. I use the Cardas just as a re-assurance factor. After all as Overhand indicated, why scrimp now?
