Upsampling and Stereophile
Also would like to note that Tres Hombres has my favorite inner cover artwork/photo of all time. I drool just thinking about it. Had it tacked up on my wall for years, I think right in between my Linda Rondstat and Farah Fawcett posters. Those wer... 
Upsampling and Stereophile
Craig, you bet it was the Top! Their early stuff was excellent blues rock, missed by many. The quadrophonic, as I remember it, rocked front to back with the bottom end. It was very cool, esp in '75. Charlie 
Upsampling and Stereophile
Absolutely! ........I'm still looking for a screwdriver so I can get into this damn thing......now where is the power supply????? 
Upsampling and Stereophile
Hello Craig. I realize I will probably get flamed for saying this, but confusion is getting the best of me. I am reminded of what one of my great professors during Veterinary school said, "I don't know how the automatic transmission works, but I c... 
Current CD playes and transports
Man, some of you guys are OLD. I remember listening in 1975 to Tres Hombres in the quadraphonic 8 track format where I was properly positioned and fueled. It was remarkable, as I recall. (I always thought that died 'cause it was so hard to afford ...

Creek 4330 and A43
Mattman, I have the 4330 in a system where it is the least expensive component in the chain. I like it very much. In that price range, the general consensus is that it is a remarkable amp. I will upgrade in the near future, but I will also spend a... 
POWER: conditioners vs filters vs cords
Excellent question. I don't think you will know without trying some in your system's environment. Here is a link to a review of one of the Blue Circle conditioners. I use the model that is one "down" from the reviewed piece, (I have the BC 84 and ... 
Any Decent Sounding Multiple CD Players?
I like my Marantz cc-65 5 disc changer that I use in my office for "ambient sound." Unless you are going to do some "critical" listening in the office, this changer is in your price range, built like a tank, sounds good, and can be used with an ou...

Which track do you demo to your friends?
Trelja, well said. What track(s) might you use if one of "us" came over to audition your system? 
Which track do you demo to your friends?
Man, I love these posts the most. Thanks for all the suggestions for new music purchases. I spent about 3 hours listening to my favorites pondering this question. (What a pain.) I have used Ms. Pigeon’s “Spanish Harlem” and “The Word Around Town,”...
