Patricia Barber In Concert
Damm I wish I would have known I am not that far from AA actually went to school there UofM. I like her music although I have to be in the mood for it. Have three of her cd's; good stuff indeed.Chuck 
Digital downloads better than redbook audio?
Same experience here concerning vinyl. To much of a PITA and it isn't that good to my ears for the majority of situations. 
"Fastest" 15 Minutes in Music
Love Bach and Vivaldi and come to think of it Albinoni isn't bad either. 
OK, I'm dumb. Does it ever end?
Planning with a goal in mind and not just jumping in haphazardly is most important to get away from this constant equipment turning.I am actually going through the same issues with a cottage system. My wife wants simple inexpensive all in one solu... 
What would you do?
I would buy something to tie me over until I could afford to upgrade. 
Sony scd-1 vs Ayre C5xe
I have to agree with the quality of sound coming out of these modded sonys. And I don't want to keep beating a dead horse here. But my goodness I just can not believe the soundsatge this player throws and the micro dynamics are just stunning.Assoc... 
Sony scd-1 vs Ayre C5xe
I have about 2K in mods on my scd-1 and the player is simply stunning. The soundstage is deep and wide and the texture and timbre of the instruments in the soundstage are much improved over stock. The Ayre C5xe while a very good player can not com... 
A Newbie's First Week Impressions -- Vinyl Rules
And I am in the opposite camp I have never heard a vinyl rig that made me want to go there. Except for the fact that I have a bunch of vinyl in my basement and some TT's are very cool looking. My friend has a JA Michele (sp) and it is absolutely g... 
conrad johnson CT6 with solid state amp
I can't speak to the CT-6 but my premier 16 is connected to my premier 350 ss and the sound is fantastic. The tubed pre gives all the tube richness and the ss amp provides the muscle needed to handle the speaker. Kind of the best of both worlds. 
Some top cd-players
Heard the ARC reference CD-7 and thought it sounded very good. I wouldn't buy one though because it is a one trick pony (redbook only). About as close to my (at the time)modded SCD-1 on redbook as I have heard a production player come. Although it... 
No wonder SACD hasn't caught on
They are probably hybrids and are mixed in with all the other CD's. I would not expect the salesperson at circuit city to know anything about SACD or even what a Hybrid disc is.SACD(Hybrid) is a small cottage industry for us audiophols no differen... 
Sony scd-1 vs Ayre C5xe
It depends on what your goal is. A modded scd-1 if done properly can sound quite fantastic. However like the poster above states you will not get your money back out of the mods should you decide to sell the unit. I have a modded scd-1 that I plan... 
usng personal computer for music?
Not sure exactly what you are looking to do but I send music wirelessly from my computer to my system in another room utilizing an apple airport express. Sound quality is ok but I am only listening to internet radio so not a big deal. I come direc... 
A newby to Turntables -- Linn - Thorens
I would do the Linn 
New to vinyl again
You also need to buy a good record cleaning machine if you intend to get anything remotely close to the best out of those groves.
