Canada Rocks: 70s lost lps pt 2...
If I remember correctly, Klaatu had a couple of good albums out in the late 70's. Not sure what happened to the overall band, but a friend of mine had a brother who was in this band. I don't have many details but I know that he committed suicide a... 
What's the objection to Floor Standing Speakers?
I loved the look of my Totem Model 1's. They were cool looking I thought and easy to move about - well except for the Target 1 stands. They gave way to the Vandersteen 2ce Signatures - frankly these are so ugly they are cute. I went to my local de...

Listening VS Reading
I must say I read a lot while listening. I do know I am on the right track with my latest system changes as I find myself often realizing that I have not turned the page for some time as the music has caught my entire attention! Yes! 
Wyred 4 Sound DAC1 or DAC2?
It is certainly a step up from my Theta Pro Progeny...I'm really enjoying all the details and richness of the music. I changed many things in the system within about a month's time so it was hard to say what was doing what at first...but it is all...

Audiophiles are older than dirt
The teacher brought a tv into the classroom (grade 3), was crying and told us all what had happened. This was in a small town in Southwestern Ontario in Canada. That day was, and is, far reaching.

Thanks, butch wax sounds like the "putty" I pay big bucks for now to spike my hair...

I got 24/25 - damn I am old! What the heck is "butch wax"? 
Lucinda Williams live
I saw her a few years ago - fantastic! It was interesting that she had her lyrics and music in a binder right in front of her that she referred to often. As well, she bent her knees and swayed almost continuously - she either has some back issues ...

Computer Speakers Not made in China
Kanto ipair5 - active speaker made in Canada ($370). I use these in my office, they have an ipod dock on top and you can hook a CD player up to them. I have an Arcam Cd17 with them. Can be a bit bass heavy till broken in, but they sound very good ... 
Remember the Electric Light Orchestra
I remember studying for a science exam in high school to their music. After the test, we had to stay put in the room till everyone was finished, and I still recall, many years later, replaying that music in head while sitting there. Haven't heard ...

I'm using a Classe Cap151 integrated amp - using the dac alone with a squeezebox and iTunes. Aerial 7 b's, Wireworld digital interconnect, Zu Libtec speaker cables. Squeezebox is using cardas balanced interconnect. I need to update my system and p... 
Wyred 4 Sound DAC1 or DAC2?
I started out by actually ordering their DAC 1 and then changed my mind while chatting with friends (a woman's perogative don't ya know) and called them back and got the DAC 2. We don't do high res files yet, but we might in the future and decided...
