Well, I'm a bit embarrassed to poke my head around here after nearly three years of neglect. I'm very glad people are still adding their findings, and finding it useful, even without me here to maintain it. Does anyone have any thoughts on the best way to turn this into a more...

Just got mine today (should have had them last week but I had them shipped to the wrong address) and I'm definitely happy. I've just started listening to them but like everyone else is saying, they sound great, and I like the fit as well. Besides the sound, the cord isn't so long that it'll get...

Doh! My set was in the batch that got shipped, but apparently the last time I used Paypal I had something shipped to my parents, and I never updated the address. So my PK3s are currently waiting there, 175 miles away from my ears. Ah well. Thanks for organizing this, Fang!

I'm in the same boat -- my px100s lost a channel when the cable frayed down at the jack, and decided to look for some non-isolating earbuds or IEMs in that same price range. I heard enough good things about the Yuin PK3 that I just sent in my $25 for the group buy.

My apologies everyone! I have not forgotten the list. In the past few months I've been too busy to really visit Head-Fi (new job, new apartment, new computer, etc.) and I hadn't noticed that I wasn't logging in when I did; my thread notification never got reset and so all summer I was thinking...

Mike Oldfield has a bunch of HDCD remasters out on Virgin, and he's got an entry for that. Do you know if that release of Tubular Bells would fall in that catagory, or should I add it seperately?

It's on CD? Nice. I ripped the DVD's audio track for my ipod, and I definitely agree on the quality. Those Austin City Limits people do know how to record a concert.

Catch her Austin City Limits DVD if you can, it's a great performance. The label put a few songs from it on Youtube, so you can see a bit of it there: http://youtube.com/watch?v=-XJ4qi-PeMs

Hmm, weird. I'll try to remember to look into it myself next time I'm sitting in front of a Windows box. Might be a few weeks though.

This may or may not be helpful, but Wikipedia says: Quote: Version 9 and above of Windows Media Player running on Microsoft Windows XP is capable of decoding HDCD on personal computers with a 24-bit sound card enabled. [1] [2] This is currently the only purely software-based HDCD decoder...

This is a very welcome surprise. From the clip, it doesn't sound like she's let her voice or style go at all, too.
