COPLAND CDA822 Users ? Please Help ?
What is the dealer saying, that there isn't any supply from the distributor? (They're out of the players?) Depending where you are (you haven't said) if there's a long shipping distance and associated charges, a dealer may stall until he has a big... 
COPLAND CDA822 Users ? Please Help ?
From your posting on another thread from about three weeks ago, (Jan. 16th), it seems that you already have the player. Is there a problem with your player or do you think something is missing? 
2 channel Poll: Vote: Do you use Tubes or SS?
Both. Tube pre all the time, and I switch back and forth between a tube amp and S.S. amp, depending on how rowdy ;-) I want to get and which speakers I'm using. (old Quads or new dynamic speakers) And tubes don't mean there's a lot of muss & f... 
Audiophiles & music-have you got it wrong?
Jeffloistarca - Ya, I do the "kids" thing too, but before you know it, they'll have grown-up considerably and you'll have more time on your hands. Right now, I can find much enjoyment in even just one day a week when I get a couple of hours to sit... 
Tom Waitts Where do I begin?
You should probably check out some of the movies that Tom has been in also. Check this link at the Internet Movie Data Base: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001823/ I seem to remember that he was a hoot in 'Mystery Men', and I just watched 'The Fisher... 
Cable elevators
Black Diamond Racing has a gadget now for that purpose. It's a carbon fibre ring that you feed the cable into, and you slide any number of them you need, along the cable to suspend the cable about an inch off of the floor.

Best multichannel SACDs?
Tireguy and Treyhoss: Thanks for the suggestions and clarifications. I'm familiar with the concept of 2 ch. being better than multi-channel from many of the DVD concerts I've heard. There, you have to deal with DD and DTS "compression" (discarded ... 
Camelot Uther MK4 or Audio Aero Prima DAC
I just went to the Audio Aero website to check and confirm something:The Audio Aero Prima DAC also uses the patented STARS system which the Camelot does not. That elevates it above other Anagram-based units. You can check that out at the website, ... 
Best multichannel SACDs?
Do SACDs really suck that bad?!Ahem, sorry, I had to put something a little bit inflammatory here to get some action!!I'd like to thank the few who have replied so far, but I thought there would be more input than this so far, considering all of t... 
Quad ESL 63 in smallish room ?
No problem."Beaming" is not a bad thing with Quads! All electrostats do that, due to the nature of the drivers.Like Newbee touched-upon, Quads don't spray "highs" all over the place like a tweeter, so they can be placed next to a side wall. In fac... 
Analog a dying breed
I like the scenes in movies where turntables are used by the characters or they give vinyl a "plug", like in High Fidelity (John Cusack, Jack Black)......and how can we forget Nicholas Cage in "The Rock"? He gets a package in the mail containing L... 
Essay bashing Primedia, Stereophile - and Audiogon
I am not going to focus on Stern's comments about Audiogon and get all hissy, defensive and nasty about it. There are people on this site who are very opinionated without the knowledge or experience to back it up, and there are people who waste ma...
