First I used Stereophile disc to clean the system, then MFSL SACD Dire Straights Love Over Gold  
some rookie questions
Easy Peasy:  get a coax cable (see link below) mine is1.5m, but the 2.0m is good, too. It connects between your Technics SUG700 digital coax input from the transport coax out. I think it is directional. You can buy direct from AA and still get fre... 
some rookie questions
IMHO, you haven't heard your system yet. Getting the most from any system (yours is quite good for anyone, let alone a "rookie), one should start with the source, if it isn't as good as the rest of your system, it becomes the limiting factor. Firs... 
What are you tweaking this weekend?
Round about tweak   First, when feasible, I take the covers off my gear, as with my Voyager GaN350 and (and my EVS 1200 before it) and my Oppo 105. I also have/had a Marantz HD CD-1, used as a transport. It started making scratching sounds, so I...

Marantz HD CD-1 Good News Bad News
A fellow 'file on another site,  helped me get to the heart of the problem. After several attempts to communicate via TMs, I was able to get the disc off, but didn't notice anything obvious, so thinking the problem is deeper= $$$. Will reconnect t...

Marantz HD CD-1 Good News Bad News

What are you tweaking this weekend?
I reconnected my HD CD-1 a couple weeks ago, as a transport, after maybe 2 years and it plays fine, but a couple days ago I noticed a scratching sound, so I took the cover off (a lot like a chinese puzzle). Directly on top, there’s a metal disc co...

Sony SACD Player SCD-XA5400ES; YAY or NAY?
You can find excellent condition used Oppo105s. A big plus is It has separate XLR outs (best sound), then go to eBay and get upgrade IEC,110/220 bypass jumper, and a Linear Power Supply for around $400: one company has step by step pictures. As a ... 
Amplifier for Cornwall IV
I think you will be shocked at the amazing Underwood HiFi LSA Voyager 350 GaN amp. And it's < $3000. I have using one with Emerald Physics 3.4 open baffle, very high efficiency speakers. It is incredibly clean, throws and enormous sound stage w...
