SACD finally taking-off? non-classical listeners
I was thinking during dinner tonight (something I try to avoid at all cost) and it occurred to me that one of the great banters of the "down with SACD" group is that there is no software and it costs too much. If this is being stated by a pro digi... 
SACD finally taking-off? non-classical listeners
Twl you make some excellent points as do most who have written here.I have no complaints for those who enjoy vinyl as I too believe with a great set-up the sound is the best available. I do have a problem with people who out-right disregard a new ...

Danielkl41, ditto! 
Cowboy Junkies Trinity Session Gold CD......Where
Go to ebay and search Cowboy Junkies. The gold DCC disk comes up only one or two per year. I would simply check every week and some day one will show up. I spent $20 for mine about nine months ago.

Distortion on "Blind Faith" deluxe edition cd
Yes I have it too. The guitar is about two and a half feet inside the left speaker and the distortion is about one foot to the left of that.I have a limited edition Polydor import that places at about the same place.My 1986 RSO disk has it to the ... 
Is Sony SCD-1 still worth to possess?
I had Richard Kern do my full Audiomod-UK modification. You can find info on that at www.audiomoduk.com Richard is a great honest guy. I would recommend him to my mother! 
Is Sony SCD-1 still worth to possess?
YES! as a standard unit it's still among the best redbook players. As an SACD I think it's one of the top. If you get one and modify it to the Audiocom-UK standard it's as good as any under $20,000 unit made. If you look at the advances in cd tech... 
Alternative to AZ Matrix
It seems odd that you have boominess, I would not have expected to hear that. I have a couple thoughts:First try some different footers under your cd and/or pre-amp. Try putting a small 2-3 lbs weight, brass or lead on different areas of your comp... 
Better than FIM Gold?
Thanks for the input Mes, I have not tried Jena Labs cables and have not heard much praise. I will try and find some to test myself. 
Acoustic Zen
I have recently auditioned the AZ Gargantua (aprox. $1500 new) against my reference NBS Statement ($3000 new, $500 used), a new model Shunyata Research Python (aprox. $1000 new), and a BMI Whale (aprox. $500 new) and found the AZ to be far brighte... 
Better than FIM Gold?
It all depends. I have FIM Gold from the pre-amp to my bass amp in a vertical bi-amp configuration. The FIM has great bass definition and control. For the rest of my system the NBS Statement and Nordost Valhalla are far less colored and a bit more... 
Review: Plinius SA-102 power amp
Thank-you Zaikesman, You'll be happy to know Audiogon is working on this very issue. They are in the process of putting together a review format that will be like no other on the internet. I believe we all have the ability to review equipment if w... 
AC Power cords, which components 1st...?
I would buy one and experiment. My experience has proven that it's not possible to predict the benifit to a single component within the system. I know from personal history the BMI Whale is a good fit for the Aloia, and I know the power snakes are... 
what will the new plinius sa102 do for my system??
No need to adjust anytrhing. If the LED lights are too bright you can adjust them, but no need to open the top if you don't have to.
