I could have sworn that I've heard that the Eagles's disc "Hell Freezes Over" was available in DVD-Audio in addition to DVD-Video, CD, DTS, etc. However, I can't find it anywhere (I bought one from Amazon advertised as DVD-A but it turned out to just be the DTS version). Does it exist?

I use some high-end stuff at work. Though the equipment is in my office, I'm still a bit worried about theft when I'm not around (I didn't used to be but last week someone's jacket was stolen). I was thinking of just using a cable lock to secure my amp and source to my desk. Laptop locks look...

In the latest issue of The Absolute Sound, there was an eye-opening letter to the editor about CD-Rs vs. original CDs. Basically, the author was saying that, due to the physical nature of how information is encoded on CDs (which are still after all an analog medium recording digital info), a...

I know that the sa-11s2 is coming out and that its revisions will largely be based off the sa-7s1. On paper I could see where these changes would be improvements over the sa-11s1, but has anybody actually compared them and heard significant differences? The only info I've been able to find on...

Not sure if anybody has seen this yet: http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/10/19...ds-to-be-cool/ Does this actually make any sense?

Not sure if anybody's mentioned this yet, but in this week's Entertainment Weekly (the "photo issue") there's a pic of Timbaland, uber-producer, wearing Ultrasones while taking a nap. Can anybody identify them? Who knows, after this photo shoot urban sales of Ultrasone might skyrocket a la...

I have a stand-alone (i.e., not attached to a TV) Esoteric DV50s that I've never tried using to play DVD-Audio discs. On a practical level how feasible is it to use DVD-As in a player such as the DV50s without on-screen guidance? Does it vary by disc?

After much single, double, and even triple-blind testing, I've been able to conclusively determine and replicate that the black-colored Stax OIIs sound significantly and substantially better than the brown version. The difference is stark (as noticeable as the improvements gained by Bybee...

This is a pretty esoteric question: although the Marantz SA-11 comes with a detachable power cable, it only has two prongs in its AC socket rather than three. It seems that all or most aftermarket cables are based on three prongs rather than two. Are there any options for the Marantz other than...

Forgive this silly question, but how does one attach a photo file to a message so that the photo itself (and not a link) shows up in the message? This is probably intuitive, but I can't figure it out from searching this site.

This is probably a silly question that betrays my ignorance, but what's the purpose of adding loop outs to amps? For example, in my case, I have an HE60, an HEV70, and a KGSS with loop out. Is there any reason to hook up the HEV70 via loop out to the KGSS? Or how else can I make use of the loop...

This is admittedly a silly question and I'm pretty sure the answer is obviously no, but has there ever been a portable (i.e., battery-powered) electrostatic amp? Seems unlikely, but you never know the ingenuity of headfiers!

I'm awaiting receipt of Qualia 010s I was lucky enough to purchase from immtbiker a few days ago. Obviously it's no secret that a proper fit is essential to optimize sound quality (it's amazing how much a precise fit seems to matter with Qualias, hence the "love it or hate it" opinion of so many...

Not that the answer to this question really means anything even if we could find an exact number, but I was wondering just for curiosity's sake how many Qualia headphones were produced by Sony before they stopped production. A couple hundred? A couple thousand? Any guesstimates?

Let's say you're lucky enough to have (one can dream!) Senn HD650s and a fine portable amp with a mini headphone out (since we're dreaming, let's say an SR71! ). Now let's say you're adding a great replacement cable (like the Zu Mobius). Should you get it with a mini connector or a 1/4"...
