Actually, it was "In the Beginning" from On the Threshold of a Dream.

Fixed that for you.

Here's another clue for you all -- I switched from the Beatles to the Moody Blues.

I bought a bunch of Depeche Mode SACD's. I still need Some Great Reward and 101, I think.

Yeah I heard that story. I have a question, though: how on earth does someone in Japan have unused closet space?!?!? I live in the land of elbow room, and I don't have enough closet space...

5 bonus points for you!

I don't smoke. I did, however, find my way downstairs and drank a cup...looking up, I noticed I was late...so I ate quickly, fed the kitteh and rushed off to work. Somebody spoke, so I spoke back. Had another cuppa, and plan to face piles of trials with smiles and turned dials. (It riles them to believe that I perceive the web they weave.)

I just bought those ugly shoes I posted elsewhere (one of the violently purple, and two of the "techy" black). Here's to hoping they fit, as they're out of my first choice of sizes. How is it you don't have these already? I thought you were a serious Daft Punk fanboy. Oh, and * FOTM * FOTM * FOTM * FOTM...

Woke up; fell out of bed; dragged a comb across my head... That's about it so far.

Actives.

Oh, but I think he does. He knows he has the freedom to express his opinion here, no matter how unpopular the opinion is. Like badge, baby, like badge.

Yeah, it was just a suggestion. I, personally, do not have room for multiple tables, so that's what I'd do, but if you have the room (and finances, presumably) to do it right, by all means, do it right.

I still am. I just like saying, "it's an expression".

Last night he was drunk and up late, so he may just be catching up from having been late to work or busy or something. Here's to hoping.

It's an expression.

Just to be clear -- we don't usually mind a small amount of entropy, it's when it builds up to critical mass and it starts evolving into assmillinery that the mods start locking threads. Me, I have a background in physics, so I know that entropy only ever increases, so I just sit back and wait for the next big bang.

I believe Clearaudio has a turntable on which multiple arms can be mounted.

6.1?!?!? Geebuz. I hope all is well with our Icelandic brethren.

But I didn't get to do nothin'. Oh, well, I will abuse my administrator privileges: We did, it was called the baby boom. Leaving it locked...leaving it locked...

LOL @ Flying sharks then tanks then kittehs then dogs.

No, I haven't, but there's an entire school of thought of people who set up mono systems on both sh.tv and audio asylum. Dew et.

Fine, locked.

I'm sure you know this already, but just in case -- you know that if you're playing the SACD layer, it'll shut off the digital out, right? You need to be playing the CD/redbook layer. I'm sure you're already doing this, but it's the only thing I can think of. Have you hooked it up to a display and gone through the configuration? I'm not that familiar with the Oppo's, yet -- is it fairly easy to toggle back and forth between the two (or three) layers, just via the remote? Actually, I'm basing my opinion on my SACDMods.com-modded Denon player, with which I'm quite happy. But yeah, based on others' experiences, I wouldn't rule out Reference Audio Mods or ModWright or maybe APL (getting to be out of my price range with that one). And thanks for the info on the transport, I'll search the archives.

I thought I'd bump this thread: - if anyone had some new thoughts on the subject; - that Oppo 983 has been getting some good press, it's tops on my list right now for the home HT speaker system (entry-level/mid-fi), should it not be? Talk me out of it. - Am seriously considering a modded Denon 3930 for my home high-fi rig (both speakers and headphones) (the 3910 is my work high-fi rig). Should it not be? Talk me out of it. Ayre? Linn? - I still wouldn't mind a changer: Marantz VC6001? Yamaha DVD-C750? -C950? Integra DPS-10.5? -8.5? Others? - Is my Sony SCD-CE775 -- whose drawer doesn't go in and out very well -- worth repairing? Or is it one of those whose transport is of the proprietary variety that once it fails, won't be able to be fixed no mo'?
