Dylan SACD-good news.
Tomryan,I am looking forward to the DSOM on SACD. I was a little disappointed when I first heard it was coming out on DVD-A (after buying an SACD player) but it looks like luck broke my way and it is on SACD only NOT DVD-A. DSOM is still a classic... 
Sony DVP-NS999ES vs. Sony DVP-S9000ES
I have never had the opportunity to hear the 9000es but bought the 999es in early December. It is almost fully "broken in" and sounds incredible. Not quite as good on redbook as my previous digital set-up (AA DTI-PRO32 and Parasound DAC1000)but th... 
Sony DVP-S9000ES Availability???
The Sony 9000es is OUT OF PRODUCTION. Any new in the box purchases are being sold out of existing inventory. The replacement for the Sony DVP-9000ES is the Sony DVP-999ES. How do I know? For starters I was wanting to purchase a 9000 back in Septem...

Direct TV causing hum in audio system
Yes, I did. I found I had unaccounted for a grounded (3-prong) plug on the same circuit. I put a cheater plug on that and the hum was eliminated. I would try the cheater plugs before anything else since it is so inexpensive. My fix ended up costing  
Direct TV causing hum in audio system
See this thread that I posted earlier:http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?bhome&1036026282&openusid&zzTreyhoss&4&5#TreyhossI bought the Mondial MAGIC box and while it did eliminate the hum, it also eliminated about half of ... 
Are they ever going to remaster the Beatles?
I think Michael Jackson owes Sony soooo much money from what they've fronted him for his dismal selling records that they are suing him for payback. Last I heard he's having to sell Neverland and Sony is salivating over his rights to the Beatles. ... 
Downgrading Help
Dennis,I too am experiencing some of the same issues as yourself. I have owned the Sony DVP-NS999ES for 1 week now, which is a DVD and multi-channel SACD player. To answer another's question, yes the multi-channel (on mine anyway) will default to ... 
HT processor recommendation
I believe Parasound made a processor to mate specifically with your model using that DB 25 pin connection. I think the model is P/DD-1500. In fact, there is someone (not me nor do I know them) selling both units on eBay. You may want to look it up... 
The plight of SACD....
I can't help but believe that DVD-A and SACD are a digital "stopgag" for the next truly revolutionary product. To make an analogy, I bought my very first laserdisc player in 1989 and I remember having to go to high-end audio stores to buy laserdis... 
The plight of SACD....
Brian, The comparison I did was between the SACD played on the new Sony vs. the CD played on my existing digital front end (w/ the AA and the DAC). The CD played on the Sony was nowhere near the quality of my other digital components. That said, I... 
The plight of SACD....
This past weekend I broke down and purchased a new DVD player to replace my ageing Pioneer DVD/LD player, with a 9 bit video processor, which also served as my transport into an Audio Alchemy DTI-PRO32 and then to a Parasound DAC1000 20 bit DAC. I... 
Mobile Fidelity Sound labs Question
Since I love the 3 bands you mentioned, let me give you my 2 cents worth of observations. For Rush, the Mo-Fi's are much better than the remasters from a few years ago (circa '97 - 20 bit remasters). Pink Floyd, it depends on which discs. Said ano... 
Are new Rush remasters better?
Are there newer Rush remasters than the one's that say "Remastered" along the left side of the case? Those remasters were done in 1997 (thereabouts). Being a huge Rush fan myself, I own the MoFi's of the albums they remastered and the "remastered"... 
SACD- my intial thoughts....
My wife and I first heard a SACD while auditioning some Vandersteen 2ce at a local high-end, single owner shop back in 2000. It was an intimate setting as there was only one other person in the shop and the phone wasn't ringing! He had some CD's f...
