Too snobbish for SACD as it exists?
This is a minefield but I like the commentary submitted. I own a Sony DVP9000ES & think it is a real bargain for the money. After I purchased my Krell unit I remember reading a review that the transport was sourced from Teac. In speakers &...

Beemer: What heading are you using to access SACD's on the Tower Records site. I haven't had any luck. Thanks; Larry 
Placement of Martin Logan s
I have a pair of Quest Z's. Once you think you have the placement dialed in there is another thing you can do if your preamp or integrated amp has a phase switch. If you can change the phase sit in your listening position & toggle back & f...

I didn't mention Doug Macleod because you are probably on to him but his latest on Audioquest "Whose Truth Whose Lies? is absolutely fabulous if you have a player get the SACD version.Try Olu Daras, In The World first & if you like that get th... 
Terry Evans and the Blues
Try Olu Dara on Atlatic records. "In the wold" is his best & "Neighborhoods" his newest both are HDCD. 
MANIC Pop, Funk, Soul, R B and R R
Try Coco Montoya " Suspicion" on alligator records & Jimmy Thackery & the Drivers "Sinner Street" if these two can't get you moving it's time for the paddles.

Personally I think Eva Cassidy's, Live At Blues Alley is her best. No Boundaries produced by Tony Taylor is her worst. 
PS Audio Lab PC s /ini lab PC s any good
I just recently got a mini lab for my subwoofer which is amplified. The amp would run hot if I was playing at volume for an extended playing time causing it to shut down. It looks like the power cable is helping it to run cooler. I got the mini be... 
How would you rate your listening room?
I forgot to rate my room on the above submission. I give it a B+; I can't in all honesty give it an A because I Have 2 large windows at one end of the room & glass will vibrate. I am waiting for my better half to get some drapes which should h... 
How would you rate your listening room?
I recently remodeled my family room which is dedicated to entertainment. The room is 26x13 with 7 foot ceilings. On one wall in front of the existing drywall I placed standard 2x4 wall framing. I rewired with 10 guage copper used 5 different circu... 
pick a DVD player for my HT
Ditto on the above. For price & perfomance in the price range you are listing the Sony is impossible to ignore.
