Changing receiver from Arcam to?
You cant do SACD digitally except through proprietary connections like the Pioneer, Denon, or Sony solutions. Cheap digital receivers process everything through their dacs and would degrade the sound of SACD and DVDA. If you are only going to do D... 
Audiogon identifier at Stereophile show?
We could just turn our pockets inside out. 
Is Funkadelic's song "One Nation Under A Groove"
Ive got One Nation and Uncle Jam on remastered cd and it sounds pretty damn fine. The cd versions of some of their other albums are hard to find. They all need to be remastered. Check out Glory B The Funks on Me a bootsy collection. Man the things... 
Anyone compare Sony SCD-CE595 and Music Hall CD25?
Thanks Rich! I have actuallt had decent experiences with Sony repair. The first time they repaired an MD unit for me and got it back within a month even though the warranty had just expired. The 2nd time they screwed up a repair of some Studio hea... 
Amp suggestions for audiophile virgin
get something from ASL or Jolida with at least 30wpc for moderate volume levels. Get a used amp and you'll get more power for the money. 
Is this
Good recommendations but the Advents only cost about $20 to refoam and if the screens are clean you can get someone to refinish the wood. I think it could make nice furniture. 
Is this
I have some Original Advents that I refoamed. I hooked them up to an Arcam A65 plus and it sounded great. Repair the Kenwood and sell it. The Thorens is worth keeping if you can tune it up. Good luck! 
Toshiba sd9200: analog 2ch or 6 ch for best sound
You would actually get better sound through the 6ch inputs because they are completely unprocessed by the receivers dacs. Keep all 6 hooked up for multichannel sound and switch between stereo and multichannel through the dvd player remote/on scree... 
Audiophile with a Golf bag
I met him 3 months ago, during his book tour. He looked terrible but natural, basically very "I dont give a f%$k", with his gut hanging out and his heart surgery zipper showing. He was still cracking jokes but he had that look like he know it was ... 
So YOU can't hear a difference in cables
You want the VH Audio Pulsars. Ive used them for about 50 hrs now and they sound great. Incredible instrument seperation and detail. Good bass and sweet highs. Not bad for $150. 
Ten Percent Distortion?
The sales people at BestBuy seem to know what distortion is, as that seemed to be the only selling point this chump was using to get some poor guy to buy the most expensive Yamaha receiver they had. I tried to convince him that 140 wpc was way mor...

Portable Audiophile
Probably an Ipod/Airport express or IHP-140 thru optical out with one of those Grace 901 headphone amp/dac combos and a pair of Sennheiser HD600s. 
Power Cord for Music Hall CD25
Actually vman the music hall has nice midrange. You have to worry about the lows and the forward highs. The PC should take care of the bass, maybe some ICs can smooth the highs. 
Are Synergistic Research Alphas ok for my passive
Thanks for the answer Bob. I would like a cable with the detail bass and smoothness of the SR Alpha but with low capacitance so as not to hurt the sound.
