Who has actually listened to DVD audio?
Yeah and also the last issue of Hi-fi Choice Mag in the UK has one of their resident experts discovering a flaw in existing DVD-A discs(the few there is) apparantly and I haven't read the article in detail the conversion in the sampling rate has b... 
Impress Your Friends and Seduce Women!
Redkiwi..interesting reply... how far have you went in your quest and how much do you think is attainable?..do you think at your level (whatever that is..)there is "much" more to be attained or are you close to what can be reproduced from a system... 
The best and worst Audiogon poster's
Taking dinosaurs what about James McDonald he's got a Krell..that's a kind of dinosaur isn't it? Oh and Joe thanks for pointing that out about Carl& David99 since I have no mind of my own--big help thanks 
Class A amp-best way to burn-in?
Actually I had a mate round while playing Load by Metallica...he was so taken by the sound of my Sugden that he's trading in his Krell for one....shouldn't you be working...Mr McDonald 
Who R U?
Treljia,David99...I work in the boring world of pigment production,studied Chemistry at college in general terms(Physical,Organic,Inorganic). My real expertise is in popular music,specialised subject- Dylan.D99 yeah well the girlfriend is pretty s...

I'm 36 years old,live in Glasgow,Scotland..have done my whole life.I studed Chemistry and work in the Chemical Industry for a multi-national (boo!)-work shifts which is great because I work 4 12 hour shifts on and 6 days off-hurrah.Plenty of time ... 
MISSING THE POINT?
Siddh--yes but it's always difficult with new releases you like-- how they will stand the test of time?...sometimes they do sometimes they don't e.g if I had to pick my top 20 of all time there would probably be 3 Dylan albums in there however I c... 
MISSING THE POINT?

MISSING THE POINT?
Cornfedboy we are in agreement. As the more obscure releases I would highly recommend Kingsbury Manx by Kingsbury Manx (City Slang)-not uncommercial also great indie pop/rock by The Delgado's titled The Great Eastern(Chemical Underground Records)-... 
MISSING THE POINT?
Ok there is a bit of diversity amongst us however I do see indications of what I feared.....Most new releases are well-recorded my top 5 albums of this year all have good productions...it's not true to say artist/record companies don't care about ... 
Burn-in time Vs. Getting used to a sound
Brutus-explain this then last week I was auditioning a Sugden21a amp at home-I had a mate visiting and we started listening to a CD(The Bends-Radiohead)as soon as we switched the amp on-it sounded terrible in the mid-band-as we continued to listen...

Relief? The New Digital Players
Craig-yes I appreciate the oversampling/upsampling situation-seen the debate on here about it and in the audio press.However my take on is twofold it'll be sold as new technology and in essence it will allow(or at least claim) the Levinson type au... 
Relief? The New Digital Players
Of course with new technology the time to buy is never right but you have to take the plunge sometime. The audio industry is at a crossroads with the new formats-those in the know (inc. Mark Levinson)seem to confirm SACD is the best format.My worr... 
Relief? The New Digital Players
According to the British audio press the new Marantz SACD player is supposed to be close to the best player ever heard- even with normal CD's. It costs £5000 though! Ben
