Favorite Christmas Song & Album.
I strongly second Cantate Domino from the Proprius label. One of the best tips I ever recieved from the jazz professor, Sdcampbell. Thanks again. Happy New Year. Charlie 
The best CD Player for the money
Kkirkpa, that is very exciting! Keep us abreast of further break-in developments as this thing settles in. Can you describe what you are hearing? What is the rest of your system? 
whatis a dac?
Excellent post, Drtmth58. Streetdaddy, you wont hear it any more succinct or accurate than that. You might want to look at the GoodSound website. (http://www.goodsound.com) There is some very good general starting info there, as well. Good luck, C... 
Your 5 Fav Rock Concerts
Great thread, Will. 1. Lynyrd Skynyrd. Four months before the Free Bird went down and Street Survivors came out, Ronnie Van Zandt and company were incredible, Columbus, Georgia 1975. 2. Rush, 2112 tour. First concert attended. Neil Peart on drums ... 
Mapleshade versus Stealth
Dekay, apologize for passion? I thought that's what made us tick! I had posted in another thread similar experience with the Mapleshade speaker wire. Even without burn-in (that's another thread) it replaced some fine XLO speaker wire costing 3-4X ...

Greatest Guitar Band
A great concert experience in the 70's was watching the 3 guitarists of the Outlaws go at it, side by side. Green Grass and High Tides Forever. (I just wish their lyrics weren't usually such sappy lovey-dovey stuff - kind of like Marshall Tucker -...
