| Congested sound, new speakers? your problem may be caused by a myriad of variables, the most simple being the source material. have you ever heard the discs you describe playing through your system as "congested" sound righteous on another system? if so, what was it that was di... | |
| Any High-End Audio Show near to.....?? ces used to do a summer show in chicago. no more. stereophile did a chicago show in 1999, canceled a Rye, NY show in 2000 and has another planned for NYC next month (i predict a bust). never heard of an audio show in detroit. my guess is the close... | |
| What ever happened to Direct-to-Discs? there have also been a few direct to cd recordings done, the best i've heard being "dick hyman plays fats waller" on rr. BTW, there are a number of sheffield reissues of dtd lp's; don't be fooled, these do not stand up to the original pressings. -... | |
| Anyone heard of George Walsh are you certain it's not joe walsh for whom you're searching? acoustic sounds has a couple of recordings by walsh, joe. | |

| SACD software prices are dropping. supply/demand phenomenon or a pitch to an untapped market? hope it's the latter. fear it's the former. -kelly | |
| Home theater advice? i'd recommend for racks that you look at zoethecus' new lower-priced line and billy baggs ht racks. saw them both at ces2001 and both products looked great. the billy baggs stuff is pricier but built very robustly. you do need to enjoy the "techno... | |
| SACD Multi Channel kevin halverson/muse electronics ran a discreet 6-channel dvd-based system at ces 2001. i have been told (tho i don't have the ee background to verify) that both sacd and dvd-a can be configured in a number of ways, allowing, 2- 4 or 6 channel dis... | |
| Cowboy Junkies Fans........ umm, garfish, may 15 is less than a month from now. if you wait a month and a half for your cd, then you must have taken the "pony express" shipping option. cheaper, for sure but the tradeoff? -kelly | |
| Bob Dylan, have an opinion? brulee: i've said some of this before, but since you asked............ our 1st son, born may 7, 1969, was named dylan. that was a fairly rare name at the time but, unfortunately, is no longer. i was struck by its commonality especially when i lear... | |
| Mark Levinson 39 lev: do you really want advice? ok, here's mine: don't buy the ml39. save a few hundred $$ more and wait for an accuphase 75v to show up on audiogon. you can run this one-box player direct, too. and, IMHO, it will, in fact, blow away your theta mi... | |
| Vote for the best center speaker here IMHO, the best center speaker is no center speaker. | |
| HOW LONG DID YOU HAVE TO WAIT TO GET.... garfish is right. i've been at this 30+ years and have a system most folks would classify in the "dream" range. as for me? i'm about to upgrade my pre/dac and entire analogue frontend. -kelly | |

| avalon ascent to avalon eidolon shubertmaniac: i appreciate your thoughtful post. while i agree that eidolons need high quality electronics, cable and ic's to bring out their best, i think your $100k assessment for a system that includes them is a bit high. even if you bought ev... |
