WTB: ZU MOBIUS EXTENSION CABLE (or Senn cable)
I am looking for a Zu Mobius extension cable, i.e. terminated with one male 1/4" and one female 1/4" connector. Not under 1.5m. Failing that, I would be interested in an unusually long Zu Mobius Senn cable, which should be at least 4-4.5 m long. PM me, please.- Sugano-san

Meridian 808 is a DVD player!?!
In a letter printed in the latest issue of UK audio mag Hifi News, a reader complains that the Meridian 808's CD sound is not significantly better than that of his "old" CD player Meridian 508/24. The reader wonders whether the less than stellar CD performance of the 808 had something to do with...- Sugano-san

SACD "officially dead"!?!
I just read in a German online av-magazine that on the occasion of the Moscow hifi show Sony and Philips have announced that they will no longer support SACD as a format, because the average consumer does not notice the difference.

Shanling SCD-T200C (or whatever its model number is...)
Has anyone ever tried the headphone out of the above player? Apperently it is driven by a pair of double triodes (à la EMP). Eager to hear your views. Would $1,400 be an OK price for a new one (plus shipping and stuff)?- Sugano-san

Stax 007t question
It is my understanding that the Stax 007t amp is basically a tube amp that has the additional ability to provide 580V of static voltage in to the diaphragms in the Omega II headphones (or 230V when taking into account the non-pro headphone output). It is also my understanding that the amp...- Sugano-san

CROSSFEED -- When does it make sense?
I am not a big fan of crossfeed, and although I used to own an amp with a buit-in crossfeed device, I rarely used it. But I find that there are recordings where a decent crossfeed switch is a godsend. I am talking about these early examples of stereo recordings, e.g. jazz, where drumset and...- Sugano-san

HD-650/Zu Mobius/Earmax Pro -- Summary Review
Ever since I hooked up the HD-650s to the ZU Mobius cable, I was convinced of that combination's huge potential for delivering first-class sound, especially when driven by the Earmax Pro. I am also under the impression that the HD-650's sound improved a lot during "burn-in". And the ZU Mobius...- Sugano-san
