I have listened to Classical Music For about 25 years. A pretty good CD collection. Favorites include Sibelius, Wagner, Mozart, Mahler, Bruckner, Poulenc, Tchaikovsky, Ravel, Debussy. Also enjoy a lot of opera, especially Wagner. I do prefer Multichannel to Stereo SA-CD listening. I do want to make it clear however, that this is just my personal preference. I understand many other SA-CD enthusiasts prefer Stereo. To me, everyone is entitled to their own preferences. That's just as it should be. However, there has been plenty of argument and debate over which is "superior". In reality, neither of them is. They are both just different ways of experiencing the high quality playback that SA-CD offers. Something, however, that does need to be addressed is the fact that many Hi-Fi dealers and stores only cater to Stereo listeners. Also, many manufacturers of Hi-Fi gear will only produce Stereo SA-CD players. I have no objections to Stereo SA-CD players. The problem is that there are not more multichannel players. I am not saying that manufacturers should not make Stereo players. Of course they should. That is only fair. I do think it only fair and right that more manufacturers produce more Multichannel players. The choice for both kinds of listeners should be fair. Lets have plenty of players to please both stereo and multichannel enthusiasts. Also, just to add a point, there needs to be more multichannel players beyond the Universal Machines that play DVDs, DVD-Audio and such. Just straight Multichannel players. I think everyone can agree on this point. |

Player: Oppo BDP-93 Denon AVR-990 Receiver Fronts: Paradigm Monitor 11 V.6 Center: Paradigm 5se MK3 Surrounds: Paradigm Micro I recently made an all important adjustment to my system. I had placed my surrounds above me and behind me, close to the ceiling. Basically, the speakers were over my head, shooting past me. I now have them placed properly, aiming at me from the sides. Big improvement, more closely following the ITU Standard. I do recommend that those who enjoy a surround sound system use an SPL Meter, along with a tune up disc, such as "Stay In Tune With Pentatone" to balance their speaker set up. I did this and it improved the sound greatly. I am looking into getting a good quality pair of Grado headphones along with a quality headphone amp. |

| My only disappointments with this set is that there was no surround presentation in addition to the excellent stereo. The other problem is that they are only single layer ... hopefully a later release will rectify that! However, the stereo sound here is excellent and I will certainly be doing a review of this set at a future date... ... more | |

| I was a huge fan of this set when I was younger. I am wondering if anyone here can guess if the transfer will merit the high price tag? I also wonder if this will really be single layer or could it actually come out as a hybrid? Having this in dual layer would certainly sweeten the deal at the high price? And could this be an SHM-SA-CD or is this ... more | |
