I just visited Acoustic Sounds on line and theyhad 918 SACD titles. Most of them in stock. 
Anyone hear the Von Schweikert DB-99?
I keep my DB99s about 5ft into the room. The bass is easilyadjustable. They have a very long break in and will respond well to the new ribbon add on(nice marketing).Feel free to email me if you have have more specific questions. 
Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better?
TBG, please, go hear the complete Emm(dac and transport)in a good system with no silver cables. You might even try a tube pre amp. You will be surprised. I agree with Kenryhk. Is it worth??? Who knows! You don't see too many on audiogon.

lower priced power cords for emm labs CDSD/DCC2 ?

Thoughts on the new B&W 800D series speakers
I heard the 801D this weekend. I liked the tweeter much better than on the Sig. If I did solidstate or big tube amps this would be a speaker I would have to hear in a home trial. They were quick and the treble was very smooth. No complaint with th...

Don't count them out yet. Someone from Tenor will be posting here as soon as everything is finalized. I have had two pair of OTLs (one of the first and one of the last) and the output tubes lifespan has a lot to do with speaker load. I run mine 6 ...
