| NPR, Wine Tasteing, & Audiophiles Livermore, Ca. used to have an annual Labor Day Wine Festival. (Maybe they still do). Admission was 25 bucks and your three day 'ticket' to enter the vineyards was a wine glass. They had a separate summer concert series where you could have dinner... | |
| NPR, Wine Tasteing, & Audiophiles booyah Fatparrot..I was set to comment on Alberts insightful remarks, but I almost sent a mouthful of coffee onto my pc monitor after your post. | |
| How does one get off the merry-go-round? "you can check out any time you like... but you can never leave" | |
| Do You Remember Your First CD Player? Yes, but not the model number.. It was a very early (maybe 1st generation) Sony. I'm only posting to say I gave it to one of my brothers who is still using it today- it has never, not once, needed to be serviced. He tells me the door is slow to op... | |
| Ayre C5xe or APL 3910 ? Opposite of Tvad, I have the Ayre but have not heard the APL. My c5xe is just breaking in and I bought it without hearing a demo. It has the best redbook playback I've come across and the SACD/DVD-A is mesmerizing. I have to say though that I've n... | |
| Which musician retired too soon? Tomryan- how dare you. What you're saying is insensitive and politically incorrect, but man it sure is refreshing. And yes had someone bashed Christians I don't think you'd have seen much said as that is now in vogue and accepted. Tom- expect to h... | |
| 4 must have hours of baby boomer music? That's meat and potatoes..nice list. Heck, play some Buffalo Springfield, Moby Grape, Flying Buritto Bros, The Band, Lou Reed; Sky Saxon (the Seeds), and Blue Cheer.. a lot of great mo-town to choose from too.. Warren, if it gets late and people w... | |
| 4 must have hours of baby boomer music? - The Byrds- Bruce Cockburn- Neil Young- Joni Mitchell - Crosby, Stills & Nash- Anything Boz Scaggs (before Silk Degrees)- If this is a party where some tend to 'over indulge', throw in some New Riders of the Purple Sage This might be more of ... | |
| Coping in an Age of Uncertainty I haven't read this whole thread, but started using an Ayre universal player 2 weeks ago. I wanted a nice cd player and thought the SACD would just be a bonus. My impression is that some sacds and DVD-A are like high def is to broadcast TV. I said... | |
| Which musician retired too soon? Tarsando.. as Professor Terguson said to Rodney Dangerfield in "Back to School".. "Good answer... I'm gonna have to keep an eye on you"... | |

| Anyone familiar with new Sim Audio Moon Rock amps? ok, only 37K.. is that in US or Canadian funds? :) | |
| Cats and audiophiles I wish I could sleep as well as my cat.. she likes Oasis by Kronos Quartet. Seems to like all classical, even opera. She enjoys the music and stays away from the equipment. My mom has a cool 15 lb Maine Coon - again, musical preferance - classical... | |
| Best CDP in the $4k to $8k range Henry, I don't thik it's a ploy -- the new Ayre is the c-5xe and it does cd, Sacd, DVD-AUDIO, dvd video(soundtrack only!) and mp-3 | |
| BAT's house sound Tom - I'm using an Ayre V-5xe. It has less than 200 hrs on it. Purist audio design Venustas speaker cable and have ordered Venustas interconnects. I ordered an Ayre C-5xe cd player-hopefully here next week, so I've got some breaking in to do. I wo... |
