Which one of the 3 Stereophile test CD's to buy?
Both, they have tones at different frequencies which can be used in concert with a Sound Pressure Level meter to measure your speakers performance and tweak placement as well as such tracks to balance the levels between the channels and a track de... 
Way ahead with transport / DVD
One of the advantages of the first and second approach are that you can play DAD discs. Although the number of them available is rather small, the quality is much higher, usually 24/96, and it is a safe bet in that it doesn't matter who wins the w... 
SACD review site a go Now, I need your input ...
Definately control the postings. I don't have that big a problem with Audio Asylum's forums, the ones which really turned me off were AudioReview's. Those are so out of control they're pathetic. One of the reasons I like it here though, is that it... 
SACD review site a go Now, I need your input ...
Yup, and of course the basics of hooking things up. Quite a few people I talk to don't really understand even the basics of hooking up a home theater system, let alone DACs and such. It would also be great if the reviews would rate the musical qua... 
SACD transport?

I'm not into Home Theater but...
Glad to hear it! My condolences. 
Analysis plus oval silver or oval 9 ?

What are you doing with your tax return?
Oops, forgot I'm married, nevermind, it's spent! :-) 
What are you doing with your tax return?
Hmmm, thanks for bringing that up. Since the Federal government was kind enough to demand I pay more in anticipated taxes than I earned from my self employment this year, (I did all my side jobs as an employee), I have a nice big chunk of money co... 
SACD, DVD-A specialty review site: a good idea?
I'd be interested! 
Witch DVD I should use as a transport
I am scheduled to get my Pioneer DVD-525 modified by him the beginning of December. I am getting the full level II transport and standalone mods. I can let you know what the results are if you're interested!Greg

D'Oh! Sorry late night, I meant Pioneer DVD-525! 
cajun zydeco
Hi cfb, He might not like the Putumayo sampler but others will. Since there will be a lot more people reading this than Kelton it's worth throwing in. The other links will get Kelton (and others) in touch with less main stream zydeco which is what...
