best 6DJ8 tube?
Audio Advisor has been selling a Tesla 6922 which they claim is superior to the Sovtek. Has anyone tried it? 
SACD's: Recomendations, ones to avoid
BTW: is there anyone out there? Sometimes I feel like the only person on the planet with one of these machines. I would like to keep this thread going as new releases come out so I don't have to waste $30 a piece on mediocre music or recordings th... 
SACD's: Recomendations, ones to avoid
Has anyone heard the Chesky releases? I would like to try some. It's too bad that they are not bringing out their new releases on SACD, Same with TELARC, only a few selected releases, so far. BTW, the Carmina Burana with the Philadelphia Orchestra... 
SACD's: Recomendations, ones to avoid
I have quite a few SACD's and from what I hear the Telarc and DMP discs sound great. I can't stop playing the Monty Alexander Music of Bob Marley.The Charles Mingus Ah Um (Sony) was also a real ear opener. The Audioquest discs sound great but I do... 
SACD's: Recomendations, ones to avoid
Also, on one thread someone mentioned the Joe Satriani disc as being great. The MoFi Duke Ellington is also reported to be terrific, if you can still find it.

SACD vs DVD audio vs 24/96..??
I can already see SACD's DVDA discs adding to the same nitch as we have seen for Audiophile labels. People are bitching that the discs are expensive. Yes, they do cost more than CD's, but they are about the same price as Mo-Fi, XRCD's etc that we ... 
SACD vs DVD audio vs 24/96..??
I would be very happy if SACD survived only as a nitch market. Heck, High End audio is a nitch market. The anaylagy to DAT is apropriate. It was never meant to be mass market. I don't expect there to be a SACD or DVDA player in every home unless i... 
SACD vs DVD audio vs 24/96..??
I don't know which format will come out on top, maybe neither one will make it. All I can say is that we audiophiles have been waiting for 15 years to have a truly high resolution format and now that it's here I'm going for it. I just ordered the ...
