| CD Jewel cases - Over 20 years and no improvement Ozfly, here's the solution to opening CDs. The EZ CD Opener.It works great. | |
| Owners of "Giant Killers"? Audiojoy4, no doubt the wait is frustrating, but the reward once you hear the sound will have been worth all the pain! | |
| Sacd/dvd-a, The Hype Is Dead, For Me At Least... SAM The Record Man demonstrates that there are buyers for anything provided the salesman makes you believe in the product. SAM The Record Man appears to be a modern day Japanese Snake Oil salesman. Good for him. | |

| Music that always ends up being played I recently rediscovered Robbie Robertson's self titled CD, and Donald Fagan's "Nightfly". Both are tremendous recordings, and wonderfully complete and musical albums. | |
| Will Dakiom Stabilisers work for pass X2.5/350? I've auditioned the Dakioms, and they do, in fact, make a difference a system's sound. Absolutely no snake oil with these products. Whether they accomplish what you want from them is something you need to hear for yourself in your own system, and ... | |
| Pre-amp upgrade: need help, Please - Bent Supratek The Modwright SWL 9.0SE got a terrific review on 6Moons recently. It uses two 5687 tubes, has 4 inputs and 2 sets of outputs. The SE costs $2200, but has a little brother, the 9.0, which sells for $1800. With the 9.0 you give up a remote control a... | |
| Parasound Halo JC-1 -VS- Bryston 7B-ST? Of all the audiophile gear available, the Bryston amps offer the most risk-free opportunity to buy-and-try. That's what I'd suggest. Buy some used 7B-ST monos. Listen to them in your own system, and let your ears be your guide. If you don't like t... | |
| Sacd/dvd-a, The Hype Is Dead, For Me At Least... Two very nice units available now on Audiogon: APL Philips SACD1000 for around $1800, and an Exemplar Denon 3910 for $3050. These are very good prices for exceptional players that would display both Redbook and SACD at their best.I'm not affiliate... | |

| About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone That's a great photo. Unabashed pure joy on your face, Pat!Thanks so much for sharing it with us, Joe. | |
| Sacd/dvd-a, The Hype Is Dead, For Me At Least... Tbg, I would agree SACD is not dead, but only sales figures from record companies will provide the required evidence to prove it's either existing, growing or dying in the marketplace. Any other opinions, expressed by nuts like us, are purely conj... | |
| Sacd/dvd-a, The Hype Is Dead, For Me At Least... Matrix, I'm referring to the APL Denon 3910. By all measures about as close to SACD state-of-the art as one can get (referring to Meitner here), and in the same echelon as the Exemplar Denon 3910 that TBG owns. With this digital playback equipment... | |
| Sacd/dvd-a, The Hype Is Dead, For Me At Least... I have the capability to do state-of-the-art SACD, and I still listen to 99% redbook. | |
| Power Cords: Signal vs. Shunyata In the Shunyata line, I have not noticed any significant improvement over lower priced cords until one gets to the Python. I owned a Taipan Alpha, and it didn't do anything more for my system than an ErnieM DIY cord (fine cords, BTW). Of course, e... |
