    Diana Krall SACD vs. Diana Krall DVD-A

    Just bought a new JVC XV-SA600 solely for DVD-A as I already have a Sony 755 SACD player. I had, and enjoyed, Diana Krall "The Look Of Love" SACD, but it developed a skip that my trusty Disc Doctor could not fix. Tracks 1-4 still work; nothing above them. As I looked for DVD-A's, I noticed...

    Any DVP-N555ES Users?

    I'm wondering about the Bass Mgt on this unit as the literature makes it sound very flexible. Speaker size, distance, delay, etc. Is the crossover selectable? Does it all apply to SACD? Thanks for any feedback...

    Interesting Comments in TAS on MultiChannel Players...

    Just got the December The Absolute Sound in the mail, and they had reviews of 2 players I am considering (and one I wasn't). Capsule summaries: JVC XA-SA600BK ($300) - I had no awareness of this unit. They say "On CD..., consistent sonic overachiever - approaching, in may respects, the...

    Receiver or pre/pro with dual multi-channel inputs?

    Anyone know of an affordable unit (sorry, no krell, levinson, etc.) with more than one multi-channel input? I'm happy with my CD and SACD players so I don't want to go universal but I would like a add an inexpensive DVD-A player to my system...

    BB Phillips 40GB Tivo DirectTV for $99.99

    BB has this unit in store and online for $99.99. I asked and was told there was no required rebate or activation. I bought a Hughes unit with similar specs there 6 mos ago for $249.99, so I'm not sure why the price is so low. Once you've gone Tivo, it's hard to go back to regular tv...

    $500 for CD player

    I've got about $500 to spend on a new cd player with the following priorities: 1). Redbook cd quality 2). Multichannel SACD / DVA I've seen refurbished Denon 2900 @ ecost for $510 but don't know about cd playback. I might be better off keeping my Sony nc650v for multi channel and...

    Multi-Channel Cables (SACD/DVD-A)

    Does anyone make a "harness" with all 6 (or 7 or 8) cables in a single unit??? If so, has anyone tried one and are there sound quality issues??? I'm trying to tame the rat's nest behind my HT. Thanks for your help...

    Powered Tower Owners...

    Have recently purchased on closeout a pair of Infinity 4.1ts for $2K from Audio Advisor. I am experimenting with different setups and wonder if you: 1) Just split LFE signal and run to sub input on mains. or 2) Run speakers as large with additional sub. (I already had Polk 650) or...

    I Know Dual Centers are Wrong, But...

    First, I have been lurking on this site for a while and enjoyed it so finally joined! I have partially finished system with Infinity 4.1t fronts and Il 50 rears. Since I haven't decided on center, I decided to use a "y' connected pair of Polk Lsi 15s from my bedroom system on either side of...
