Well the day has finally come, Scott Weiland of Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver was found dead on his tour bus. STP was one of my favorite bands growing up and even though he seemed to be living on borrowed time it's still a sad day. Thanks for all the great tunes...

It's hard to say what is exactly on each disc, but they most likely contain 24 bit PCM audio in both surround and stereo. The sampling rate could be anything from 48 to 192. You can use DVD Audio Extractor to rip these files. It's not free but has a 30 day trial that will allow you to rip all...

I'm inheriting a 1955 Martin D-18. I was told it needs the bridge reset and maybe refretted. The repairs were priced at $200 for the bridge and up to $500 if it needs new frets. I'm not sure if I should let my local shop do it or should search out someone who specializes in Martins? Anyone have...

The only way to play a SACD on a computer is using a hacked original PS3 that hasn't had it's firmware updated in a long time to rip the discs. This is due to the copy protection used on the discs. Regular DVD/Bluray drives cannot play/rip SACDs. If you are insisting on computer DSD playback I...

I was planning on doing this next week. Looks like I won't now because I wasn't aware of the dangers until I read this thread. Thanks OP, I owe you one!

Use a piece of packing tape to get a better grip on the tube. It makes it 100x easier.

Whoops, I thought it was a live album. Wikipedia says it is. I have all the albums this compilation highlights, so I won't be picking it up. I really doubt it's mastered better than the original releases. The "West Textures" and "The Live Album" CDs have no compression and the SACD of "No Kinda...

Have you compared this live album to "No 2 Live Dinner" and/or "The Live Album"? I was just curious as they pretty much have the same songs but this one was recorded more recently.
