Back in the early 90's when I started to listen to high quality music there was basically CD and LP sources. Now there are so many more formats. SACD, DVD audio etc. What are the differences between CD, SACD, and DVD Audio? Why are good SACD players so much more expensive than good CD players? How come some SACD players only play two channel music? What's the point and the benefit of buyin an SACD player that only outputs two channel music? Are there DVD audio players that only output two channel music?

Reading July issue, I just seen the ad for CHORD, the ad references a Paul Bolin STEREOPHILE review..FINAST,ULTIMATE....what would it be if it met mfg's PUBLISHED spec's? Come on, so many Ultimates so many finasts, surely some are just mediocre. How can anything be Ultimate if it doesn't even meet advertised, published specs, which infers it doesn't meet FTC requirments for a CONsumer product...nothing being downe about this seemingly MAJOR shortfall.

Thanks guys

I have ~40/feet of Red Dragon cable. I could use some help on two items. Where can I find the specifications on this Cable...Google is not returning any Hits which leads me to believe that they're out of business (?). Secondly, in that I am unable to locate the Cable and get a price, does anyone know about what this is going for per foot? If I recall, I purchased this circa 1999 and I paid ~$6.00/Foot. But trusting my memory is a dangerous thing as it's not getting any better with age... :-(

I have been extremely happy w/ the LSiFX's as my surrounds. But now due to some room renovations they are just too big. My walls are only 6' 8" high so mounting them is out of the question. Presently I have them on 30" stands which I really can't use either. I need something small for wall mounting. The surrounds are only used for TV & movie playback. I don't listen to multi-channel music at all so maybe even the Polk's are overkill. I have a SVS 25-31PLUS sub for the bottom end. They have a 30 day home trial so I just might give them a try to hear how they compare to the Polk's.

My system is doing a huummm.Is it possible a impedance problem between my Naim CD 5 and my Densen B 110?Or all the impedance is standard?
