Will I be bringing the only DVD-A rig? Do you guys want me to bring mine for that matter? It's a budget player but most people at the last meet seemed pretty impressed anyway. For those of you that have heard it, I have gotten a number of new discs (Santana, Diana Krall, Alicia Keys, REM, etc.).

Bring it, man. Will be interesting to hear what budget hi res audio compares to high end redbook.

Although, I guess it would only be fair to compare to the same music.

You had Eagles: Hotel California in DVD-A, right?

I have an HDCD of that song as well. We could compare those. I'm sure alot of people are familiar. Plus we can compare Monkey's Audio on Iron's rig.

If only I hadn't ran over my copy of Metallica - s/t with my mother's truck last summer when St. Anus came out, we could have compared that album as well!

 

[Jasper994]

Cool, that's settled then...

SOMEBODY BRING THE METALLICA BLACK ALBUM (REDBOOK VERSION)!!!!!

 

[Orpheus]

comparing them is pointless by the way.... they are mastered differently probably. it's not like they come from the same source.

i have the redbook version, but i'd probably forget unless if someone reminds me.

 

[Jasper994]

Here's your reminder!

Also, does anyone have an SACD player?

I left my Metallica CD's in the microwave for 3 seconds when Lars started on his anti MP3 campaign.

I wonder if he has any idea how many people don't buy a disc until they've first heard the MP3 and decided they liked enough of the disc to warrant the purchase... Oh wait, now days they need people to buy blindly cuz they suck!

I have a cheap ($179) Pioneer DV-655 universal that will play both DVD-A and SACD. If that's good enough for SACD listening, I can bring it.

Stuartr, I will PM you about carpooling. Thanks for the offer!

Is there anyone coming from south of long beach that might want to carpool?

My car might still be in the shop while this is going on.

Sounds cool, bring it along, can't hurt... I'd like to hear SACD anyway... I've got the Norah Jones hybrid that I could pop in and maybe I'll pick up the Diana Krall one too so we can compare the DVD-A to the SACD.

Didn't even make the list, how sad, maybe the OmegaIIs werent good enough to make it.

Looks like a full house though already.

 

[Edwood]

We'll have to setup an outdoor listening area soon enough. Anyone have a big top tent?

[TimSchirmer]

how about we just skip setting up portable gear to save space
