Well-recorded Satie?
I'm going to have to get the pascal roge disc, I enjoy Satie's music, though I find most recordings to have very poor sound quality. I high quality recording with a great performance would be a wonderful addition to my music collection- Thank! 
How is your many titles in your digital collection
Herman- Because I am big brother :) Seriously, because the RIAA released information about SACD and DVDa not to mention redbook cd production numbers for the year and it seems hard to believe. Here is a link to the article in doubt, I am just curi... 
Review: Emm Labs DCC2 DA converter
First of all I am glad you are enjoying your Emm labs gear, I know you've been waiting a long time. It really is quite enjoyable!I have found the Machina Dynamica Nimbus under the transport yields a large improvement across the board, blacker back...

Who has solved the HVAC air noise problem?
Bill- weren't you planning on running ac in the winter in this room? As a form of heat to offset the BTU's of heat from your amps, or had the plan changed? In any case I am quite curious how this will turn out. 
Favorite SACD's
I agree Gerry, Roxy Music- Avalon is great! Its been a few years and now I have a few hundred SACD's and some are REALLY good and a few disappoint, that being said I am impressed with what the format has to offer. When did you pick up a SACD player? 
Maggie 3.6R driven by Antique Sound labHurricane??
I agree with Rooze, until you get BIG power on the Maggies you are not hearing what the speakers are capable of. I tried tube amps and while they were great in the midrange, everything else suffered signifcantly. 
Review: Emm Labs DCC2 DA converter
Unclejeff- As you should, the capitole II is an outstanding player but at about twice the cost(with the Emm labs transport I have on the way) of the capitole II there is something that I feel is better. Had I not heard this digital front end I hav...
