NILS LOFGREN - ACOUSTIC LIVE ever make Vinyl
I'm reviving a 5 year old thread.I just got this cd a couple days ago and was floored by how good it is. The sonics are superb and the music is the best I've heard in a long time. My favorite song is "Little on up" which tells the story of raising...

Your website looks great. Too bad I don't live a little closer to join in on the fun. 
Help me spend my money
I change my vote. I just read your post about your impressions on demoing the light speed USB cable. since you love the improvement, I'd go there first, then get the room treatments. 
Help me spend my money
My vote is room treatment. I understand your thoughts about it not being as fun as getting new gear- I felt the same way. However, don't let that fool you. It's a potentially significant upgrade. I stared with Gik tri-traps in the corners then pan...

Music Servers - Baetis vs. Music Vault
I'm late to this thread, but wanted to throw another option into the mix. I used to use my MacBook Pro/Amarra/off ramp 4/dac combo as my source and felt this combo was excellent sounding. About 5 months ago I got a Salk Stream Player which is a Li... 
Auto audio
Check out the Pioneer DEH-80PRS head unit. It is designed for the audiophile with outstanding SQ. Pioneer makes another model that builds on this design, but I forget the model. So I would recommend either of those. 
Beck / Morning Phases
HD Tracks is offering it in 96/24 which is on my short list to buy. This will be my first Beck cd. I steered away from Sea Changes because I thought it sounded to depressing.Also, Computer Audiophile has a thread were the editor bought all the cur...
