| Bogus Ratings for MOFI SACD's I once wrote a very polite but negative review of a remastered Chicago Transit Authority LP. They never published it. Oddly, it even mentioned that a previous Mo-Fi release of CTA was among my favorite LPs. I never submitted another review to Musi... | |
| Bryston Bdp-3 Issue? audphile1 Lumin U2 and Aurender N200 will be a step or two above the Bryston in my opinion. I dumped Aurender in favor of the Bryston, which I think sounds w-a-y better. Of course, it lacks the Aurender's sexy interface. | |

| How to Connect DAC's USB Port to Ethernet Cable vinylshadow There aren't many but which records were mastered in 24/96? 24/96 is pretty much the minimum resolution used by digital recording pros today. I don't know where you got the idea that pros use 16./44.1, which is a consumer format. | |
