| Use of Ferrite Cores for EMI Reduction??? Ferrite beads should only be used on wires not carrying the audio signal, where you are filtering out unwanted noise.(If you use them at all) The reason that made these peoples systems sound bad is the same reason shielded cables sound bad. The au... | |
| Sony DVP- S9000es I have the 9000es and think it's great on both redbook and SACD. Of course, many times it comes down to the recording quality of the particular disc, but SACD is better than CD. I think that mods may improve it but, I'm not sure it will make enoug... | |

I used 22ga. magnet winding solid copper wire in polyethelene oversize tubing to get mostly air dielectric for my speaker cables. I used 30... | |
| Consumer SACD/DVD-A worth it? Sacd is worth it, period. I was a true vinyl junkie for over 20 years, and still love it. I sat out the entire life of CD because of its poor sound. However, vinyl has major problems too. Poor recordings are poor on vinyl,CD, or whatever, but grea... | |
| Linn or rega I used to work at an audio shop in FL. that sold Linn and Rega. I A/b'd all of them many times and the Linn always came out tops. I also compared the Linn to many other tables that customers wanted to bring in and compare. I can tell you flat out ... | |
| Vinyl to Digital Reading an interview with Ed Meitner, he stated that Sony and others are archiving their master tapes to DSD format(SACD). If you wait a little while, the pro digital recording equipment for DSD recording will be somewhat affordable for a serious ... |
