Will a DAC mellow Denon DCM 360
This is an interesting post--I do own a DCM360, and mine does not have a digital out--hence you cannot hookup an external DAC. I have found that monster interconnects (M550 or higher) do a nice job of warming up the sound and also improve the bass... 
Meridian 508.24 CD Player Discontinued
The 508.24 is definitely a lot better than a 506.20. But since the 506 was updated to 24 bit dacs, they are sooooo close. The only difference is dual-differential dacs in the 508, balanced outputs, and a more potent digital output for driving digi... 
Meridian 508.24 CD Player Discontinued
Well, since Meridian created the compression algorithm for DVD-A (MLP-Meridian Lossless Packing), I would say that they are firmly committed to that format. Whether they ever release an SACD is probably entirely dependent on how succesful it becom... 
all linn, or mix & match??
I am on it--questions, however. There appear to be 3 diff versions of the LK1, and 2 different LK280's (I am assuming this is not a Spark, though) Is the std 280 a lot better than the LK2, and is the spark upgrade still available? Also, is the LK1... 
Need interconnect advice
If you are interested, I have a few sets of opal 3 lying around, as well as som Ruby 2. both 1m lengths. Email at edward3rd@aol if you are interested. I honestly do not know if they are what you need--AQ is typically a bit more aggressive, but if ... 
all linn, or mix & match??
Hey guys, don't worry about messin with my head---I am in A/V sales for a great specialty retailer. But we focus mostly on A/V, and don't do much with specialty 2-ch hifi. I am well aware of the advancements made in digital tech, but I think Joolz... 
all linn, or mix & match??
Hmm, the powertek/pretek idea sounds interesting. My keilidhs are now on the way, so I better start looking. Does anyone know where I might find info on that or on the Rega gear--I would like to familiarize myself. I couldn't find the Powertek in ... 
all linn, or mix & match??
Thanks Neubilder--I am leaning towards the Classik, and you have pushed me even closer. Unless I can find a $2K Int amp/CD that has more power without ruining the sound. Does rega make an Int amp?? 
Room Correction Systems?
PLS1--thanks for affirming my impressions of the RPG program. I have tried several different rooms, always getting better than average results. 
Linn Keltic speakers
not to change your subject, but check out Meridian's 568 instead of the 561. It does the upsampling that the 800 does, but you lose Video switching. And it only has 2 analog ins. But the sound is to die for. Hook up any crummy transport and you wi... 
Any MC-1 Fans out there ?
I recently replaced my MC1 with Meridians new 568. Tremendous musical improvement!!! Smoother, more dynamic, tons more bass extension, and unbeleivable image and soundstage. The Lex still has a far better user interface, and more overall flexibili...
