Album which you have listened to most?
Blind Faith: This album simply astounds me. It captures the spiritual essence of the prime of my life. I can't begin to imagine the processes involved in its creation which is how I define art (and magic). These vibes are like a psychic grinding w... 
Julian Hirsch dies
While attending a Stereophile show at the Hilton in Chicago (part of winter CES?), The elavator door opened and I came face-to-face with Mr. Hirsch. I'll always regret not paying respects to this gentleman (just pretended to be unaware of him). At...

Best Joni Mitchel Album
I love her "Mingus" album. Moody jazz and mind blowing bass ala Jaco Pastorius. "Blue", "Ladies of the Canyon", "Court and Spark", "Don Juan's Restless Daughter" are essential Joni...

Audible Illusions vs. Audio Research?

Proac 3.8 or Sonus Faber Cremona
I used the 3.8 with ARC VT100 MkIII and loved the result. I ultimately traded them because they don't really open up at apartment listening levels (i.e. they need to be "cranked" before sounding balanced). Their bi-wireing scheme was also not to m... 
School of Rock - Name that tune
"...Black could not get clearance from his record company to use his own songs in the soundtrack." Isn't this interesting? Record companies have been stealing artists blind and treating them like property from day one. Now they are crying "wee, we... 
Static Build Up
I think "Milty" is what they call the Zerostat these days. In olden, fully leaded days, the Zerostat anti-static gun was born. It contained some kind of radioactive (no kidding) material that discharged positive electrons when the trigger was sque... 
Static Build Up
You mean you don't use a Zerostat gun? This is mandatory both before and after you play...

Check your user manual or look for an indicator on the front of your player that says "upsampling", etc.The Denon marketing staff wants you to know if your player is doing this on redbook CDs.My Philips 963 certainly does upsample and it sounds gr...
