Denon Service... Yeah or Nay?
Well maybe it is just as well. I see in the latest Absolute Sound that they expect a new format of hi-res in the Blu-Ray/HD-DVD formats. So I can buy these discs all over again. Thank God the vinyl still plays at 33.3 or 45. 
Where is the line between seller and buyer resp?
I am on the same page as you. I always return e-mails to confirm receipt and I also like confirmation when I sell.It's just common courtesy and an honest way to do business. 
Denon Service... Yeah or Nay?
You state "after six months" was it at the service center that long? That is so unacceptable. I think after reading some of these responces and that fact that Denon has still not responded to my e-mail, I will keep my current player and wait to so... 
McIntosh or BAT amps what is your preference
MarkI tried to set up a demo at the local dealer and he told me he would be happy to, but that if I owned the MC352 that I would not like it unless I was going to use it strictly fro HT and not 2 channel and needed to deperately save space. So I g... 
Burned out hi fi salesman
I have top agree with most that seem to understand the salesman's point of view. After doing any job for 20 plus years you are going to get burned out. I know that I get tired of my career but it is what I do. I know people that try to leave but m... 
Tonearms for new Linn LP 12
Davt, actually I am a customer of Rick's. I didn't realize he had one set up. I need to get over there and listen. You are right Rick is the TT guru. I am in the same train of thought you are. It is a cheaper way to get into a LP12, but I am wonde... 
Tonearms for new Linn LP 12
RaulUltimately I would love an Arro but am concerned buying new. With the fine point of the uni-pivot I would be afraid to buy one receive it and find it damaged. Maybe I should save and by pass the Ekos and get the Aro later. I agree it is the be... 
McIntosh or BAT amps what is your preference
Mark, at the time I was considering the BAT due to a A/B comparison at a dealer between the MC501's vs a Bat amp (forget the model number..old age). I too have the MC352 running the front with a MX135. I love the sound but you know the quest for t... 
What would u like on sacd?
The rest of Pink Floyd's Catalog, Yes, Moody Blues, Dire Straits, Renaissance, Johnny Clegg, Neil Young, Led Zeppelin, Who, Icehouse, just to name a few...I realize some are on DVD-A but I prefer SACD. 
Michell techno or Origin live weight
Never tried the Origin but I have the Techno on my RB600 and what difference. Of all the tweaks I have done to the P25 this made the biggest difference. Bass extension is much tighter. It made the most sense to me of all the post production counte... 
SACD is it worth it?
I agree with Rec, the SACD sounds much better and I have gotten to enjoy the Multi-Channel feature very much. I find that on old recordings I am hearing so much more of the instruments and backing vocals when played through 5 speakers than I reali... 
Liquid CD treatments?
Another vote for Shine Ola. I have a new complete Auric Illuminator kit if anyone wants to save a little money. 
Plasma owners any problems??
I see that Hitachi is offering a plasma and calling it "1080p II" but the resolution is only 1024 x 1024. I would think that that is just 1080i. I haven't gotten a chance to compare it yet but the real claim to fame for this unit is reduced screen... 
In wall speaker suggestions
The best I have heard is the Linn Sekrets. They aren'r cheap but that is why they sound so good. 
Plasma owners any problems??
Thanks for the input. All positive to boot. I guess I had better take the plunge. Waiting till T Day when they usually have the best sales.Again thanks.
