Transport for Bel Canto DAC2
Hi Gmood1. I'm not familiar with those devices. What do they do, and how would they help clean up the signal from the transport?

Hi Jamesw20,The hard drive based system sounds very intriguing, but it is out of my price range at the moment. Are they able to keep the hard drive quiet?

Hi Philnyc. I believe my digital cable is 0.5m long. How would the extra lenght help?

By artifacts I mean I hear harshness, and sometimes what sounds like pops. The Toshiba DVD player is just a cheap player - don't recall the model #.

Oh, and it should be able to play CD-R as well. Thanks! 
Tom Waits...anyone?
I must confess that a few years ago I felt as Nrchy seems to feel. However, this year my brother made me listen to Alice, and I cannot believe how good it is! Needless to say, I am now a believer... and I now own both Alice and Blood Money. Now I'... 
Recommend a good Monitor for my existing system
Someone is selling a pair of Europas right now for $650. I've never heard them, so I can't comment. However, I do own the Continuum 1.5s and I'm extremely happy with them. They are out of your price range, though ($2500 is what I've seen them for)... 
Calling all Pink Floyd fans
David,I've been trying to decide what to get next (in a few months when I can afford it... sort of). I can either get a vinyl rig or an sacd player... this is only making things harder! 
Calling all Pink Floyd fans
I may have to get an SACD player so I can hear the new DSOTM! 
Stanton Moore....have you heard his stuff
Great thread!!! Many of these bands are new to me... so I will definitely be checking them out. Stanton Moore's "Flyin' the Koop" is fantastic! Also, if you haven't heard MMW live, you owe it to yourself to do so (definitely one of my favorite ban... 
Naim and Magnepan
The Nait5 struggled with a ProAc Studio 125 (sounded thin with anemic bass). I've gotta believe that Maggies are a tougher load than the ProAcs, no? 
Thank You, to the Person Who Helped You the Most.
I'd like to thank the whole Audiogon community! My system would not have come together as nicely without the help of many people here and on Audioasylum (and even on rao). I am often pleasantly surprised by the kindness of strangers... who says th... 
Possibly The Best Kept Secret In Turntables?
Thanks for the advice. One thing keeping me from exploring vinyl is the "setup," which I know nothing about. Seems like I'd be forced to go with a new TT (and have to spend more) to try vinyl. I assume I'm not alone with this concern. 
paradigm studio 100 VS. triangle celius
The Celcius are supposed to be tube friendly (I don't know if your mc is tube)... can you audition them? I found their highs harsh for my taste (especially with rock)... but I auditioned with a NAD C370, so maybe it was not a good match. Anyway, I... 
Ozzfest,can I handle it?
If you stay away from the pit, you should be fine. Keep in mind that if you are near the pit, you can be in it in a second (it can expand quickly). Besides that, have fun! I agree on the earplug recommendation. Any word on the Etymotic earplugs? I...
