Screwing around on ebay, I came up with this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=2335666678 I want to buy it.

What? See the link: http://www.highfidelityreview.com/ne...umber=19363192 Unreal. Well....that is enough to send me back to a vinyl only system.

I was at Border's this Saturday. They had a copy of this DVD-A release sitting out on the shelf. Release date was supposed to be July 22, 2003. This is yet another stunning DVD-A release. The lead vocals and harmonies are incredible. I was simply floored at hearing this release.

From time to time I check out Steve Hoffman's site. He is a noted producer/engineer. Apparently he really likes these cables. Here is a link to a long thread at his website: http://www.stevehoffman.tv/forums/sh...threadid=13962

What kind of music/sound/noise do you guys use to evaluate equipment? I usually have: Bill Evans for the sound of a well recorded jazz trio Billy Cobham for the sound of drums Coltrane to see if I can get a sense of how well the equipment can convey emotion. Something that I know well...

For Father's day, I got a couple of nice tweaks/accessories for my headphone system. The first one I got was this: I got the model 14 for drawer loading players. I noticed an immediate improvement in sound. Everything got tighter. It works well with CD, DVD-A, SACD, and DVD-V. I am...

Read this in Sound and Vision. They have decent coverage of Hi-Res formats. This one will have some alternative stuff in it, that the original producer (Dashut, I think) wanted to use but was not on the original release.

Great show. I had not seen Lindsey in Mac since 1982. Saw them at the Palace in Auburn Hills, MI. No opening act. Mac played for about 2.5 hours. 2 encores. Currently in the band are: Fleetwood John McVie Buckingham Nicks They have Stevie's two backup singers from her solo career, two...

I am most likely going to pick up the following today: New Steely Dan in DVD-A New Heart double disc in SACD hybrid New Luther Vandross

Just thought I would some info that Red Trumpet sent out in an e-mail. Bob Dylan Dual-layered SACDs! Finally! The release of 15 Dylan classics on SACD begins in late summer! From the seminal Blonde on Blonde to the Grammy-winning Love & Theft, the bard's catalog is well represented. But...

This guy is one of my all-tme fav singers, period. I wore out his live album when I was younger. Is there anyone out there that is sort of like him in terms of voice and material?

I am looking to get a new headphone amp. I have researched quite a few amps. I have run into this AVA preamp a few times, but have never heard too much about it. Here is a snippet from a review from audioasylum: "The real surprise was the headphone amp, which in most units is decent, but...

I am not affiliated with Galen Carol or his store in any way. Here is a link to his used and demo for sale section: http://www.gcaudio.com/products/steals.html There has been a lot of talk about Rega CD Players on this forum lately, so I wanted to point people in a direction where they...

At first I was very skeptical, but now I am a believer. After listening to elrod-tom's dvd-a player at the Detroit meet and his ELP BSS DVD-A disc. I figured I would investigate DVD-A. So I sold some gear and got a Denon DVD-2900 universal disc palyer. The Denon player is good for DVD-A and...

Al has a new disc "Flesh on Flesh" out. He is reunited with Anthony Jackson on bass for this disc. The disc contains a nice mix of electric and acoustic mix. The music and feel definitely has a Casino, Elegant Gypsy, or Splendido Hotel feel to it. It is also nice to hear Al playing a Strat on...

I got a few ideas: Achilles Last Stand No Quarter Kashmir

Currently I use a Musical Concepts modified Pioneer 101 disc into an Audio Alchemy DTI/DAC V1.1 setup or I use the Audio Alchemy DDS into the DTI/DAC combo. I would like to get something new and not have a separate transport/dac. I want to spend in the $800-1800 area. Any thoughts?

Hello fellow tweakers. I have attached a URL for David Magnan's suggested tweaks for Audio Systems. Good stuff. So are his cables by the way. http://www.magnan.com/columnprint.shtml Suggested tweaks include: 1. Power line shunt or parallel filters 2. Do-it yourself AC filtering 3...

Thanks to Jude for setting up the Detroit event. Thanks to Danny and Tyll for trekking out to let us hear all that great gear. This event really surpassed my expectations. Please let me know if there will be any other user events in the Motown area. To level set everyone hear, I currently own...

I pretty much listen to headphones these days. I have a nice home system, but recent additions to the family and lack of space have lead me to box up that equipment. My current system is this: Headroom Supreme (Circa 1995) Etymotics 4S Audio Alchemy Transport Audio Alchemy DDE V2.0...
