CD-Player
Sony Super Audio Compact Disk (SA-CD) C222ES 5 disk carousel.
Amp
Sony STR-DE985 SA-CD compatable
Speakers
2 Dogg Digital Audio SL-1200's
1 RCA Dual Driver Subwoofer
Record Player (not kidding)
1 Pioneer (is like 20 years old)
Listen to the Stones on the remasters all the time. Wow, What a difference SA-CD makes. It is a different kind of listening experience. Sounds like they are live right here in my living room. Warm, truer reproduction of the sound. Every Instrument is spatially arranged perfectly.
Nice and warm yet very clean but never to crisp. The detail in the songs is excentuated more so than before.
It brings life to the music much the same way an album does yet you have no background noise to put up with.
SA-CD is the way to go for right now.(not to be confused with DVD-A)

LOL,
Yeah, Tell me about it. It sure hurt my checking account. We'll actually it did more than hurt it. It made
it cry....lol
Anyway I had to get this set-up peice by peice because It was a little pricey as you noted.(except for my speakers which I bought in a pair).
However,
You can get a Sony single disk SA-CD for like $150.00
Then maybey later get yourself a 200-250.00 amp. Then get like a decent pair of JBL's for like 400.00 and you're off to the races. Alot of people just can't go out and buy the whole shabang like you and me can't. I would save up and get the speakers first. Then The Cd player. Then the Amp.
Sa-CD is a great sound and it is worth it. And if you can't the Stones remasters still sound real good. The are hybrid meaning you can play them on a regular cd player (without the SA-CD benefit) or you can play them on an SA-CD player(with the benefits) so you win no matter what here see.
Even the regular remaster of the albums sounds so much better than the 80's Stones CD's.

B+O - Marko, are you European? That stuff has always had a wondeerful design. I was in in Copenhagen when I was a kid, and remembering walking into some of those hi-fi shops, and just dropping my jaw when I looked at it all. Simply gorgeous. Do you have to use a special cartridge/stylus or can you fit a standard mount on the tonearm? What do you use?
is anybody else into vinyl?
_____
the Phillips DVD burner - is that DVD-R or DVD+R?
_____
Ian - I couldn't agree with you more. The Stones dual layer hybrid SACD remasters is the smartest thing they have ever done, marketingwise, and Sony owes them alot for doing it. Even if you don't have an SACD, they are dual layer, so the have a standard redbook layer (read "so they will play in any CD player"). But the 16/44.1 program has been remastered, and so you don't even need the sacd player, just buy the remastered CDs...
I just hope they give Sticky Fingers - Tattoo You the same treatment...
I am buying one of those cheap Sony units - with some modifications, it can run with some of the big boys...
_____
I also wholeheartedly agree with the sentiment that you build a system piece by piece. I bought my Klipsch speakers 15 some-odd years ago when I won alot of money gambling (underage) in Tahoe - the skiing sucked that week. Spent a little less than a grand on them. I didn't finish with the tube amp until this year. But now, I have a system that blows most stuff away in blind listening tests. It takes years, but if you buy one quality piece of equipment at a time, and take care of it, eventually you will have a system that most can only dream about...

stylus = needle that touches the surface of the LP ("record")
cartridge = the fitting that attaches the needle to the tonearm
I asked because I was wondering if you had to use B+O cartridges with your turntable, or if you sould use any cartridge/stylus combination (most turntables use one of several standard cartridge mountings). Does that make sense?

my turntable is so called "tangential" player.The needle
moves straight,not from the side of the player.It has short
arrow in the back of the player.It actaully sounds like a cd
but,sound is softer.I miss vinyls a lot,because record
companies in the end of eighties and beginning of nineties
started to do bad quality vinyls,to get cd thru the markets,
i havenīt bought a vinyl record for years.I sometimes just
listen some boots,or just tattoo you,one of the originals.
Undecover sounds bloody good on vinyl,so does still life!!
Exile is best on vinyl,specially if you have the original! |

I have Sony separates; OK but need updating. I had a house party about some years ago and bastards put pin holes all through the tweeters! But they paid for that!
But I have a 15 year old Bang and Olufsen TV - it's the most amzing piece of equipment anyone could own - great classic Danish design.
The remote control a weighs Tonne and has hardly any buttons left!
Aiwa is owned by Sony and is basically budget Sony equipment - very good value though |

My parents bought a Sony CD Player Boom Box when they first came out. A big, ugly, crappy lookin' box with the CD-player popping out like the tape deck does, on the side. Makes no sense. I loved it, of course. The old crappy speakers they had with it were copper-wire and had frayed to the point where I was getting no sound out of the left speaker. So I removed 'em. Then, our computer died, so we had to get a new one, but I kept the speakers and subwoofer, rigged 'em up, and plugged 'em into the headphone jack on the ancient boom box. After some clicking and groaning, it worked!
I now pick up all my bass lines in the comfort of my own room. I just plug my bass into my cheap-ass practice amp, queue up the track, and play along, pausing it and going over the line until I get it right. Then I twist it around, turn the bass way down on the plastic crappy graphic equalizer embedded in the stereo, and try and play a line that works with the song that I like.
Unfortunately, that meant this summer, when I had no bass, my friends had to endure me puzzling out bass lines on a $50 accoustic guitar some a friend of mine bought at Target. He was a fan of nothing but MC5 and "Rocks Off", the song. Which meant I could placate him fifty percent of the time.
