Cincinnati, OH, any audiophiles?
Carl, I am up in Centerville. Keep me posted about a get together. I would enjoy hearing the 2.7's. I will bring some excellent demo material. Happy Listening! 
Marantz SA8004 is fundamentally musical
I owned the SA8001 for over a year. I thought It was very very good with SACD. I found it a tad too warm and it did not have the same pace as the SACD portion. All in all a very musical player with a solid build. 
Sony SACD 5400 ES: how to get it in standby ?
I once had a player that displayed "Standby" after missing breakfast, lunch and dinner I fiqured out that it must not be talking to me. LOL! 
Disappointing Evening
Next time put on the "Glee" soundtrack, Katy Perry or Justin Beiber and they will flock to listen to your audiophile collecton. 
Reading threads and posts when selling and buying

Ribbon Tweeters???

Listening distance
My speakers are at 8.5' apart (center of woofer) and my ears are at 10.5'-11' from speaker center line. Not an equilateral triangle but to each there own I say. Only your ears and source material matter! Enjoy! 
How do I keep my dedicated room & gear cleaner?
Get the largest HEPA type room filtration machine you can afford. Check the threads there was one a week ago.Try Endust cleaner for electronics. It puts a charge on the chassis to repel dust so that it lands somewhere else.Move. Just kidding;>) 
mood lighting
There are many respectable solutions to choose from. Try walking through thr lighting dept at Lowes and Home depot or your favorite local lighting center. You may be interested in spot specific lighting which uses battery power and can be placed a...

J River Vs. Media Monkey Do they sound different
Amen, Dtc, Everything I have ever seen that Pettyofficer has posted is a rant and is negative in nature. When I see he has posted to a thread I move on because I know he is about to derail the thread and the next 10, 15 or 20 comments are going to...

My dealer used Monitor Audio Silver RS6 and Jolida CDP Acoustic Zen cables at a demo with the Unison Unico SE. It was one of the best sounding systems I have ever heard.Take a look at my listing and send me an email if you need more info.http://ww... 
How to place speakers at the optimum height
Fiddler, I am sorry that it was unclear. My reply was related to Min888 comment about where the sound emanates from. My tweeters are at 37" high . My listening position is 11 feet away. The center image appears to be Dead Center between the speake... 
What credit cards do you use?
Maybe they used a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC). Most banks and mortgage companies issue those with a Visa or MC logo. I had one once $250K.
