charging tax in Classified Ads??
If they are a retailer, they are obliged to collect tribute for the government. 
CDs obsolete in 5 years?
Now if we could get the music out of the PEDOT polymer directly into our auditory cortex, all of out hardware would be obsolete too! 
Trivista remote performance
I have a TriVista SACD. It uses the same remote. Mine works very well. Make sure you have strong batteries and try it again. 
Solar Flares keep coming
I find the off-topic political smears highly distasteful. Slipknot and others offer nothing of substance, no facts, no real humor, only insults. The moderators should delete this thread. Far less offensive threads have been removed from this forum... 
Sony XAE777 CDP or Bel Canto DAC?
I've listened to them both, and the Bel Canto DAC is no match for even a stock SCD-XA777ES. The Philips player is amazing for the price. A few hundred in mods could probably elevate it to near the XA-777ES. You could upgrade your cables with the s... 
CD player for a warm system
Simaudio players are indeed quite warm. Also consider the Musical Fidelity Tri-Vista SACD or a Modwright Universal Truth Pioneer Dv-47ai with the tube output stage.

1. The case and remote are a bit cheesy for an $11,000 player, a petty complaint admittedly.2. It is exactly what the ultra high-end HT folks have been wanting.3. Sonically, I think you could do much better with a separate CD/SACD player and DVD-V... 
I am confused about 15A and 20A current.
I have just completed development on a 15 to 20 amp "current upsampler" with breakthrough, patented, capacitorization technology. Let me kow if you are interested. 
If it were you, which non-Sony SACD?
I love my Tri-Vista SACD. 
Sandbox for vibration ...........
Just make sure there are no cats in your listening room ;) 
Arrows direction on MIT
Wow, I thought that with alternating current, the current flows back and forth, hence the name. Believe it or not, there are no "molecular gates" in your cables telling the electrons which way to flow. When a cable is marked as "directional" the m...
