Help with next CDP upgrade...
Tpsonic, buying the Cardas cable and getting the Bel Canto DAC, both used, was specifically to be used with the Pioneer as a transport. I spent $200 for the cable, $200 for the Pioneer CDP, $500 for the Bel Canto, $600 to soup up the Pioneer (incl... 
Multi-channel vs 2 channel SACD; difference?
Boa2, I am still in Sac, but I don't know for how much longer. I need to hook up with sometime next month and check out your gear.Eldartford, Boa2, what kind of SACD players do you guys have? 
Multi-channel vs 2 channel SACD; difference?
Eldartford, you have a point there. I have some CDs that make me feel that I have reached nirvana and I will need no more, but then I put on something else that makes me wonder what is going on.Eldartford, would you say most SACD users listen in m... 
Multi-channel vs 2 channel SACD; difference?
Eldartford, thanks for the heads up. How does the 2 channel SACD mix compare with a good redbook remaster of the same music, say something by Patricia Barber? 
Where do you start? Is there any hope?
Honestly, don't start. If you haven't started, walk away. Get the iPod and forget about it. Keep your sanity and just walk away. If you really love music, buy a guitar or a piano and learn to play, but forget about electronic audio. It has no endp... 
Speaker compairson?
Wow, a monitor that goes down to 19Hz. I need to check that one out. 
Any speaker terminal passive crossovers?
Good idea Eldaford; however, won't a Y-connector affect the signal by adding something else in the chain? Yeah, the sub has its own low pass filter, but the FMOD used to cut things like vocals even before it got to the sub. It gave me cleaner lows... 
Best Dac/Transport Under 50,000
Is a $50,000 unit 500 times better than a $100 unit? 
Pink Floyd reunion
I agree with Ben_campbell. Floyd with or without Barrett is alot like a hotdog with mustard or a hotdog with mayo; two different hotdogs, altogether......"TWO DIFFERENT HOTDOGS." Sorry, I couldn't resist.

If Roger Waters isn't a genius, he is at least a better songwriter than your average bear. When I listen to The Wall, Final Cut, and some of his solo stuff, I am in awe of where he comes up with his stuff. He digs deep and comes out with a mess an... 
Pink Floyd reunion
Ben_campbell, the funny thing is some of my favorite PF release start with WYWH. Sometimes I spin The Final Cut for a weekend at a time. I don't know about everyone else, but I think Roger Waters is a genius.

Anyone know what the initial argument between RW and the rest of Pink Floyd is about?

Lazarus28, yes, but you know what I mean... 
Subwoofer 3D Illusion
I had to follow up on this post. I decided to tweak the subwoofer by removing the rubber feet and adding spikes, and opening the sub, replacing the foam with audiophile egg carton stuff I bought off the internet. Last, I placed a marble slab from ... 
Looking for Cello and Guitar
Thanks, I appreciate all the good leads. Mostly, I am looking for cello/guitar solo, any kind of music. I love all kinds of music. Recently, I heard a cello player friend of mine play while another friend played the guitar and it was really hypnot...
