Here is the completion of my post, which I intevertently sent off before
completion rather than hitting "save".

As for the C775, perhaps it came from this exchange on April 27, 2006
where you didn't deny my assertion:

**************************
AK: "how many SACD players you've had and what your total investment in
them
was"
HL: And one bedroom machine I
bought used for $50 (the one I believe you own...a Sony C775). Bought
both Sony ES machines new for a total of $600 (about $1000 MSLP). I
bought the second only because the first began to develop the dread Sony
"skip"...and it is currently packed ready for shipment to the factory
repair shop.

AK: Harry I didn't ask you how many SACD players broke on you, I asked:

"how many SACD players you've had and what your total investment in them
was"
*******************************

Where did I say I had a Sony C775?

Well, it wasn't before May 3, 2003 on this forum where you had the
following exchange with John Atkinson:

*********************************

JA: And I have to ask, Mr. Krueger, given the scorn you have expressed
on
my opinions, the belligerent nature of your post, and your apparently
unthinking dismissal of my comments, what such comparisons have _you_
performed between DSD data and LPCM? Suitable A/D converters, SACD
players, and D/A converters are readily available.

AK: SACD equipment is available but it isn't free, at least to me.



JA:Not to me either, Mr. Krueger. While in the past I have done some
experiments with SACD players that passed through my test lab while
preparing magazine reviews, I purchased the SACD player I have been
using for these more recent experiments.


AK: I don't see any point to *evaluating* SACD using some of the
budget-priced equipment that has barely more dynamic range than a good CD
player. I can't see buying a SOTA SACD player on my own nickle [sic].

JA:In which case, Mr. Krueger, I think it logical to point out that you
can't legitimately express an opinion on the sound of SACD players and
DSD encoding until you _have_ acquired a player.

Oh, so...perhaps it came from this exchange on which my April 25 2006
memory was based:

Krueger reply to Trevor, 12/4/04
"I replaced it (defunct DVD player) with something a little more elegant -
it cost me about $125. "

Sony ns595? That's the unit that replaced the 775 as Sony's entry-level
SACD.

HLFWIW, Arny has an inexpensive SACD player. I have not heard him say a
word
about a SACD comparison....don't even know if he owns any SACDs. Says he
only bought it because he needed another CD player. But interestingly
enough, only after I and others on RAHE rediculed him for blasting SACD
without ever hearing it.





This has to be another one of Harry's delusions.
