The music processor is a bit further out. The gadget engineering/proof of concept is done. I will be soon playing with an expander to see if it feasible in a lack of sonic fuctivity sense. The key is independent unlimit/expansion params which could be a giant whet dream. The only way to judge is to do it.

4. Music processor/Swiss Army Knife/DAC front end; Hell, I don’t know What to call it.

Yay! You're sharpening my appetite for the music processor. Since it's a swiss army knife may I suggest knifr, seax/sax, or maegr? Given your ribald nature I think seax and mispronouncing it as "sex" is the winner

Can the music processor/DAC front end have an hdmi in to extract the audio and pass thru the video?

There are already devices on the market that do that. Even some higher end transports.

The concert was great - Bolero is always fun, though the Bartok Piano Concerto #3 was probably the best thing - my personal favorite was Ravel's Alborado del gracioso. Pablo Heras-Casado is a fun maestro.

Guess who was chillin in one of the boxes?

Plaçido!

Can you already lift a corner of the veil and tell us which laser/spin unit you are going to use?
Front- or toploader?

Would be cool if he had found say 10,000 NOS Stable Platter transport mechanisms for cheap. But that's highly unlikely.

I know the Phillips Pro-2 is produced anew.

The Philips Pro mechanisms were always highly rated, so that sounds like a good choice.

Too expensive is my guess. But current teacs also used in computers are very good. I believe vanmedevoort also uses them

If you buy them by the thousand and with a direct line from the manufacturer....
Maybe a lot cheaper that way.
I don't know how that works.
I already found the lid for a top-loader system.

I don't think Statler and Waldorf are Swedish

 

[JohnnyCanuck]

You will have to excuse me then. The muppets were well after my time but I meant the two old guys who always sat in the balcony or box seats.

Cheers,

My longtime favorite brand is Plexus plastic cleaner, protectant and polish. Haven't tried it on CDs yet, but it keeps my headlights and helmet shield sparkling.

The two old guys in the box were Americans. It was the chef who was Swedish.

I have one from monoprice that barely gets the job done. I haven't seen any other than the cheapo kind I have.

I figured there would be nicer ones out there since a lot of people us apple tv, roku etc..

Who make the good ones?
