| Why does Denon 3910 default to PCM for sacds? That's great info, Tbg. Thanks. Alex says he ships all his machines with Source Direct ON, and the SACD filter setting option does not apply to the APL Denon 3910 since Alex's modification bypasses this setting in favor of his re-design. | |
| Progressive Rock I have to admit never being familiar with the Legacy Focus 20/20, but after Chad's comment, I decided to check out the Stereophile review, and I have to say they are very interesting. Beautiful, too. | |

| What makes a $20,000 cd player cost 20,000? Yup...on all accounts. | |
| What makes a $20,000 cd player cost 20,000? Cytocycle, I buy the concept of the statement piece, but I don't buy the trickle-down-technology theory in the case of the CD player. I maintain all parts installed into CD players are sourced from common electronics suppliers. Yes, some of the pa... | |
| What makes a $20,000 cd player cost 20,000? Jsala, I can extrapolate Howard's point to the extreme, i.e. the $20,000 CD player may just be a $500 CD player with a fancy case, some upgraded parts and $10,000 in marketing and overhead.Perhaps my use of the word "arbitrary" was not correct.

| What makes a $20,000 cd player cost 20,000? Howard, I believe the price of a $20,000 CD player is arbitrary to a large extent. Are there some esoteric electronic parts in the $20,000 player that are only available to the manufacturer and are not available to the manufacturer of a $5,000 pla... | |
| What makes a $20,000 cd player cost 20,000? The cost of a $20,000 CD player is directly related to the $500 apple. A man on a street corner has one apple, and a sign that says "Apple...$500". A passerby asks, "Do you really think you can sell an apple for $500?". To which the appleseller re... | |
| Why does Denon 3910 default to PCM for sacds? Thanks for the info, TBG. I have to admit to belonging in the "camp of the Clueless when it comes to PCM and DSD. Which is for which format? It's hassle to go through an on screen menu each time one wants to hear a different format. Is there an op... | |
| Anyone tried new VH Audio Air Sine Cable? In my system the AirSine is quiet, relaxed, full and rich. Other power cords I own have a bit more top end and are less full sounding. I don't think either is "best". It's just a matter of what you like. | |

| Better sound quality than the I-pod? I wonder if those who say the iPod's bass is deficient and the treble is shrill have discovered the iPod's EQ feature. With certain EQ settings, both problems are easily remedied. And, set to the wrong EQ, both the bass and treble could sound wron... | |
| Progressive Rock I enjoyed listening to Genesis, ELP, Peter Gabriel and Yes just as much on my old RogerSoundLab Studio Monitor/Kenwood integrated/JVC CD player system as I do now on my VAC/APL/Von Schweikert rig. Having said that, used Von Schweikert VR4 Gen III ... | |
| advice on hiding cables I did an installation kind of like what you are describing, but the construction of my house may have allowed for a less destructive installation. The house is wood frame, raised foundation. My equipment cabinet is against an outside wall. My spea... | |
