Keith: Just would like to let you know: I did a lengthy hearing comparison between Sony 775 in red book cd mode and feeding the digital output to my Marantz av 9000 preamp using AV-9000's 96k/24-bit DAC. The latter sounds much better. This tells me that the electronics per se in the Sony 775...

Keith, I love R. Pidgeon. Her "Spanish Harlem" is my favorite. Jim

Thanks, Keith. There is an very interesting artical. If you have time, give it a read. It is titled Watch Dog #10. It is on www.audioperfectionist.com/.

Keith, On second hearing, I have second thought about the Mahler's 5th.--- The sound is good, but the reading (tempo) is too slow to my taste. The Film Music of Jerry Goldsmith and Mozart Sinfonia Concertante are demo quality MSACD imo. Since you mentioned James Taylor's Hourglass, I might...

Keith, Thanks for your input. As I said, I'll wait for at least 6 months before even entertain the idea. Besides, some other goodies may pop out....the climate changes rapidly..... I just received two Telarc SACD thru the mail few minutes ago: #1. The Film Music of Jerry Goldsmith #2. Mahler...

Keith, I keep telling myself don't even entertain the idea of buying the SA-12S1. Wait at least 6 months........

I agree with you that CC doesn't how to setup their gears. I went to see their HDTV one time and was totally unimpressed. I knew it is not HDTV's fault. I have two VC8100 megachangers for the purpose of store cds and dvds, each has the capacity of 300, suffcient for my collection of about 500+...

Keith, Does Marantz SA-12S1 have separate transformers for its power suppllies? When it will be on the market? Jim

Keith, I think, multi-channel is the logical extension of the SACD evolution. It is one more tool for the recording engineers to use as well as one more listening option for the consumers. On the CE775, you can select 2-channel playback mode or select multi-channel plyback mode, or you can set...

Hi Keith: I think, for me multi-channel is the way to go. If the recording engineers use the surround channel "correctly", they'd capture the ambience, say that of the Carnegie Hall's. The two-channel also capture the ambience, but folded into the two (front) channels. So, when you listen to...

Here are my experience so far and my 2 cents on the SACD. Since the sacd climate changes rapidly, so I bought a Sony cheapie, SCD-CE775, for interim use. I'll upgrade to a high end one when the dust settles. Even so, for a classical music audiophile like me, the sound improvement is nothing...

Excellent High, but bass shy for a 5" woofer.
