where to find sacd's??
thanks guys, does anyone know of a retail chain that I could buy them locally from? Every place I have tried doesn't even kniow that there is another format besides CD!!! 
do tubes rock ??
you might want to try tube pre with ss amp. I would hate to see what you consider large! 
Anyone heard SONY DVD-S9000ES w/sacd
Kkirkpa, have you had a chance to listen yet? I just bought a 7700 and I am at the latest point that I can trade up. I was wanting to replace Cal. audio Ikon MKII with 77700 but it just does not cut it for cds. Maybe this one will??? 
Tube Pre-amp beneficial?
I upgraded from Conrad Johnson, Sonagraph (solid state) to CJ pv10a which is Conrads bottom dollar tube pre-amp and it gave a much warmer sound. I am running it to a Proceed hpa2 and Martin Logam Aerius i. Brand new I think they go for about $1200... 
EVo Proceed amp for Newform R645?
I like my hpa2, but I have not heard the EVO. Do you have local dealers so you can try both? 
B&O, overpriced artistic piece of audio?
Sound is not the sole critera???? Why even bother then, Bose look great in with most decors. 
Rolling Stones remasters
found Exile on main street and Goats head soup. Both in jewel cases and mastered by Ludwig. Does any one know of other "rock" music he has mastered? he seems to be the one who gets it right. 
cal. audio ikon mkII power boss upgrade
I found the CJ pre-amp IMO to be the best money I have spent in the system yet. Well.... the amp too but it cost 3x what the pre amp did, so I expected it to perform. 
Biggest hype-worst tweak
Had the same experience as Redkiwi, Blacklight took away all of the air and made it way to dark for me. 
cal. audio ikon mkII power boss upgrade
I am running mine through CJ pv10a pre, Proceed HPA 2 amp and ML aeruis i speakers, not getting any glare and I enjoy the sound as it is, but you know how it is allways have to wonder what you might be missing. I used to have Transparent wave conn... 
Is this the sound of clipping?
how old is old? sounds like you might have some problems with the woofers. If an amp clips it clips the entire signal not just the lows, you will usually notice when your tweeter and mid no longer work. 
headphone pre-amps
Headroom super sounds great, easy transportable system with the gig bag too. 
What makes / defines an audiophile ?
yea, I meant that too. Just not rap. 
Interconnects for Tube amps
Lamapp, how does the CJ player sound? Currently have Cal. Ikon MKII going into CJ PV10a.

An open mind, and your gear didn't come from Circuit City or Best Buy.
