Is My Room Large Enough?
One thought to play with, and I'd love to here opinions on this. I've heard of others with squarish rooms setting up on the diagonal. This breaks up all the reflection points and could reduce the "acoustical treatments" required. It also has the p... 
Why are my cables balanced ?
STAY AWAY FROM THIS DEALER. If he was truely trying to sell balanced RCA than he was trying to pull something. 'XLR' make a balanced connection, but only if your equipment is truely balanced internally. I would suggest talking with a different dea... 
Audiogon "RECORDINGS TO DIE FOR" list
Excellant posts by all, THANK-YOU. Please keep up the great work. P.S. Lucinda is about emotion, the raw unedited emotion makes her special. I agree the voice is raw! J.D.

Isolation vs. Absorbtion
Thank-you for the fantastic posts regarding your experementing. I look forward to my Neuance shelves arrival (4 weeks, they had great success at CES). Question, and I realize it will require a guess. My equipment all sits on 6" of sandstone wich s... 
Wha'choo lookin' at?
No fair that Angela has an ocean!I have a dedicated room that has french doors behind me to cut off the outside world. I have a fireplace, with my equipment lined up on the stone raised hearth. The fireplace takes up the full area between the spea... 
Homemade High End and Unsung Heroes
John Dunlavy! He is a brilliant design Engineer. He has taken speaker design to levels it never dreamed of. He built a accoustic chamber for his testing that is one of only a handful on the planet, it is so far beyond any test chamber built. Not o... 
Sony Multi-Disc SACD
Wjat SACD players are avalible or slated to come out with multi-disk capibilities. Seems to be a topic here at Autiogon. I think alot of folks like the conveniance of mulit-play. I agree Onhwy61, it's up to us to make it happen in that the masses ... 
Plinius SA100 or Odyssey Stratos Mono ?
The Plinius running in pure class "A" is it's strength, I think you may end up often in class A/B with the low effient speakers. I owned the SA100 and found it very smooth, but my speakers are 91db. You may think about when your speakers would be ...

Best Customer Service (Manufacturer)
It was Dunlavy for me. I had a series of problems from my amp a few years back and blew two woffers twice. They replaced them right away and helped find the problem. The fire in the amp also helped me to figure it out. After the fire I traded in t... 
SACD WINS!
Oh perfectimage, such a loaded question. I don't know what this will bring but here goes. NO, nothing is like vinyl. I say that with all respect of the quality of sound one finds with a "good" set-up. SACD is clearly different, but is much closer ...
