Thanks for the input. The song I downloaded from iTunes also sounds really good - easily the best of a bunch of different 256 kbps AAC songs I downloaded to fill a CD. The edition is not specified there, it just says "Released 1970"...

Interesting... I was deciding whether or not to buy a SACD player last spring/summer, posted here similarly and got quite different response. There were individuals around (no hard feelings, it is just funny) who would not let me say there may be any SQ improvement in SACDs, other than better...

Hi, sorry if this has already been covered, but could someone recommend me which edition of Gentle Giant albums to buy? Is that 35th Anniversary Edition a good choice? I finally feel ready to listen GG. Bought the song Nothing At All from iTunes and now really, really like it, although it did...

Thanks, guys.

Could that have been 1999?

And who is "TURBO"?

What is "turbodocks"?

I downloaded it too, today... Wow, so clear... A bit too sterile, though There are bootlegs circulating from other shows, and there sound is dirtier but/and richer, since they were recorded from the audience... Well, check the concert videos on YouTube, that's the sound I am talking about.

Nnn-i-ce!.. How much?

Thanks. Looks like a smaller scale production - not necessarily a bad thing... HeatFan12, can you still tell us how much one should expect to pay (including shipping)? Approximately? This will decide any future interest for many.

I agree that there is this conception that K701s are so finicky, and one must get an expensive amp to enjoy them. I've found this to be untrue. Unless you are a basshead, you'll likely enjoy them right out of iPod. Of course, they won't be showing all their potential, but to me, they were a...

Hi, I see it's been almost a month, but I was too looking for this some time ago (decided not to get any at this time ), so if you guys are still interested, the more reasonable ones I noted for myself are offered at Moon Audio The site uses frames, go to Headphone & Portable Cables, scroll...

Hmmm... I'll save this your post, thanks. Interesting... Does not seem a priority right now - I just realized that I was switching that bedside lamp while listening to my new Marantz SA8001, a few times, and nothing happened. So this might be just a particular lamp in my case, the one on the...

OP and others: I was just on the phone with a PS Audio tech, asking him this very question (did not know of this thread)! What he told me is that none of their products will "filter" such pop - not even the $2K+ Power Plant, which is a regenerator! As oicdn said, this is due to the wiring of...

Jasper, I was looking at various DACs recently and noticed that many of these budget Chinese DACs come with some sort of HP amp in them. Musiland MD 10, $299 from Pacific Valve Co., is an example. I have no idea how it would compare to 2move, but perhaps you could research it further for...

No other pet will bring to your life as much as a dog. I used to think I was a "cat person" - until 6 years ago finally yielded to my wife and we got a dog. I did have dogs around when growing up, but this is very different. Dogs are of course on the side of higher maintenance, especially...

I got for my K701s a case from Headroom. Not a hard case, but nevertheless feels sturdy and nice.

Atom Heart Mother.

... and reserve God's help for more serious stuff!

Haven't read all the messages here, sorry if I am repeating too many others... but I am getting myself an iPod touch - to use all those apps, and wi-fi networks, w/o enduring all the extra cost. We are getting a new iMac this summer (to replace the 1.0 GHz G4, hardly a case off upgraditis), and...

Not meaning to revive this thread, but just in case someone ever wonders here looking for such info: pet chinchillas are not for little kids. They do not offer much interaction, won't cuddle at all. A chinchilla may enjoy sitting on your shoulder, like a little bird. They are not very smart but...
