I don't know Japanese, but by using the translater, this is what it says. Item name Item turn Desired retail price (classified by tax) Sale time CD/SACD player DCD-SA10-N 350,000 Yen December first third The corporation ƒfƒmƒ“ (the DENON), technology of the pure audio which is...

I am using KR300BXLS output tube configured in SET setup and running the plate at about 45W. I am estimating the output is around 15~16W. The room size is only 10x11, and if I run it for more than 4 hours, the room will get a little warm during a 80 degree day, which is not too bad. It is...

Keith, I was using Pioneer DVD as transport going into Bel Canto DAC1. By the way, based on your suggestion, I picked out several of the SACDs you had recommended and some of the others. I ordered from amusicdirect.com and currently they have 10% off discount until April 15. Regards, Kevin

Well, after one week of wait, the SCD555ES I ordered from Oade Bro. arrived. The package was very good, they double boxed the package, and in between the two boxes, they added those protective "peanuts". The unit arrived without any problem. :) Once the player is hooked up, I started playing...

Keith, Thank you for the suggestions, I checked a few of the web sites you recommanded, and I have already found several titles that I like. This weekend will be a CD shopping weekend for sure... :D . This is getting fun now. Regards, Kevin

Keith, Jazz, vocal, classical, and sometimes new age. I do have one that I MUST have, it is the Friday Night in San Francisco by Al DiMeola,John McLaughlin and Paco De Lucia. By the way, does 555ES have detachable power cord? Thank you. Kevin

Keith, I was not too concern for the difference in $100.00, actually my decision was more like which model should I get. Now that decision is over :) I am waiting for the delivery now, do you have some recommandations on the SACD titles for me to try out? Thank you. Kevin

Cary, I don't know if J and R double-boxes their package, but I do know their price is $599.00 plus shipping, where Oade Bros. charge $575.00 for the player, and $25.00 for shipping. Since the cost is lower, and the packaging for sure is good, you might want to consider getting it from Oade...

Well, I could'nt get the $499.00 price from J and R, and Kevin was right, that price according to the sales person I was talking to, was for the 400 mega disk changer. So far the best price I got was from www.oade.com their price was $600.00 shipped, and it will take about a week to get to me...

Sam, Thank you for the reply, sounds like most people are having the similier impression of the player, and this is a good thing. I am going to do some checking around to find out where I can get my player from today, we'll see... Keith, Sounds good. I don't think I will be using the...

Sam, Thank you for the input on your experience with 555ES. The price on 555ES is very attactive in deed, and I am going to check on the price tomorrow once more, if I can still get the price I got today, I am going to take the unit and see how I like it. I might, in the long run, end up with...

Keith, I agree that running the players 24/7 can't be a good idea, and I don't think I need to do that either. Since I am working while I listened to the music, I will let it "break-in" like that. On the other hand, what was your impression of the player when it was new and right out of the...

Keith, I am hoping to get it with that price as well. I will find out tomorrow. Any input on the 555ES break-in experience? Kevin

Keith, I think what I will do tomorrow is to find out if I can get that $499 quote from J and R again, since I got that over the phone today, I hope I will have it again tomorrow. If that works out, I am going to get the 555ES for now and see how I like it, especially with the SET. Since...

With some of the SONY SACD player coming down with price, I am wondering if the XA777ES will be lowering its price as well. Any news? Kevin

Keith, Did they have positive response about using the tube amp or it was just different? Once I decide on the SACD model, I will be connecting it to a pair of SET mono block directly, so I hope it will be a good match. Right now, with what I have, the performance is great, and I am hoping...

Keith, No, I don't have the Stan Warren's modification. I did the modification myself. I like the description you have on the 555ES, and if I can have the $500 price tag, I might just pull the trigger. Do you have any experience or knowledge with SACD player using tube amplification? Again...

Keith, I am using a modified Pioneer DVD player as a transport into a modified Bel Canto DAC. I am hoping to know some more regarding the 555ES CD section performance. Can you describe what is your sonic impression of the player? Thank you. Robert, At that price, I may just go with the...

Keith, What do I have in my main system right now? Nothing! I move the transport and the BelCanto DAC-1 to the backup system for now, since I have been spending almost all my available listening time in there for now, and looks like a minimum of another 6 month if not longer. I have been...

Robert, $499 is a great price. Thank you for the infomation. Do you by any chance know the redbook CD performance on 555ES? Kevin.

I am getting ready to get a new CD player for my backup system, where lately I am spending just about all my available listening time in. Since I don't own any SACD at this point yet, the redbook CD performance will be a very important factor in my decision making In the last few months, I...

Phil, It is true like John said, AVP9080 will auto detect between DD and DPL; from DD to DTS or from DTS back to DD are the only time you have to switch with the push button. To do the remote turn on for external amp of other brand, you can use the switched outlet in the back with a wallwart...

The crossover for AVP9080 is 80Hz not 120Hz. AVP9080 do have a switched 110VAC outlet in the back, and to connect the external amp, just plug in a wallwart of the correct output voltage into that outlet, and connect the output to the amp. Enjoy. Kevin;)

John, This is what I think: For an amp to clip, it is possible 1) the input singal clips already before coming into the amp. 2) input or driver stage of the amp being over driven to clipping. 3) output stage being over driven to clipping. I don't think its a problem of not enough incoming...
