anyone heard sony s9000es
Bmpnyc, after another 50hrs or so the cd really is sounding nice. I have to admit I was really trying not to like the cd/playback. 1. It's a dvd player 2.It's Sony. But I have to admit I am liking it more and more every day and will most likely re... 
The best CD Player for the money
Kkirkpa, I have to agree you. I tried and tried not to like the cd playback,( I mean c'mon its Sony right?) but after 50 hrs or so of break in it really is pretty nice sounding. This is a total bonus since I only bought it for the SACD/DVD aspect.... 
The best and worst Audiogon poster's
I didn't know audiogone sold posters, where can I buy one?? 
Anyone ever opened MIT cables?
Carl, I knew I could find you here. Still trying to find someone in the area that has MIT to compare with my Transparent. I don't want to borrow from the local dealer since I do not intend on purchasing . I read somewhere on one of these posts tha... 
Love of MUSIC or love of GEAR
Ever heard the term "starving musician" most do not have this kind of expendable income. My system has greatly improved since making the decision to stick with a day job. That and, yea it is kind of fun to play with high end gear. 
Rock and Roll Snobbery
I don't really know what you guys are talking about, my system handles rock just fine using ML Aerius i. Just not loud thats all. 
Absolute Best DVD Player?
Geevee, why put up with a player that does not offer the best picture and sound just so you can save a couple of bucks importing a copy of a movie from some far off location? When you are shelling out this kind of money on a DVD player(1-1500) wha... 
Best "Bookshelves" for $500? new or used
Stick with the pv10, I had the sc-26 before. It is ok but the pv10 is way smoother and cost the same. 
Your 5 Fav Rock Concerts
Kings X, Tool, Alice in Chains (1st tour, in a club) actually all three where in clubs. Most other shows either the performance or sound just didn't do it for me. I know this isn't rock but Tori Amos with just the piano was great live too. 
Resolution Audio CD55
hey Carl, I know you are somewhere South East, How far? Anywhere near N.C.? 
anyone heard sony s9000es
Finally back from out of town, finally have the player. SACD sounds great and cd's are getting better with the break in. I only have about 30 hrs. on each section now. Video is as good as I can hope for on a 8 year old Sony Trinitron. Bmpnyc, glad... 
Revel Gems, which preamp, what next?
Let me get this straigh Dkarmeli, you want this guy to ditch his dealer and his entire system? Might be a little drastic since all of it is perfectly good gear, actually pretty nice. Some room treatments sure would be a whole lot cheaper. 
DO AUDIOPHILES EVER LISTEN TO MUSIC?
Cure for critical listening disease, 3 to 6 beers should work fine. 
Best Matching Amps for B&Ws?
You may want to try and just go with a nice surround reciever for around $1,000 and spend the other 4k on a small intergrated, maybe even tube , set of monitors, and cd player. I am sure if you create a post you would get some help putting it toge... 
Anything better than Proceed?
I have the hpa2, have not regreted that decision in the least. Great bottom end with lots of power, I could only imagine how the combo would be for H.T.
