What do you listen to when no one else can hear it
I already pissed off some people for saying bad things about Norah Jones in another thread, heheh.I listen to Universe 2 and 3 on my iPod and Grado SR60s when I have a retouching crunch at work. 
Norah Jones?
Ahh, come on, John! Maybe that statement was out of line. But, I'd be willing to bet I'm right.:•) 
Norah Jones?
OK, Warren.If she were to heed your advice, I might warm up to her. I never really thought of her in CFMs, but that could change my opinion entirely. She is pretty. Spikes and fishnets might propel her into sexy.Just don't mention Ravi Shankar aro... 
Best Cd Player under $100,000
Kehut!Is it really worth spending an extra $11, which translates to a whopping 55% price increase even if you are saving $99,969.08?Come one, I didn't think Bugs was THAT sexy. Even in drag! 
Latest iPod Configuration -- Any New Hope?
Good deal Glen!Here's a link to the drive I use:http://www.lacie.com/products/product.htm?pid=10491You can buy it direct from the them or most online computer stores. I have the 400GB which LaCie sells for under $400. I keep my iMovie and iDVD pro... 
Norah Jones?
Yeah, I've never understood her appeal. Or the Grammys.She always sounded like she was singing with not enough lubrication in her vocal chords or something. Very boring to listen to and even more boring to watch. She's probably even worse in the s...

If you can stretch your budget 10 or 20 Gs, you might be able to get Cecilia Bartoli to sing to you in your living room, and who knows, maybe even a little more. Heheh. 
Love it, or Hate it ? (wood trim)
Mghcanuck,I was interested in those Yamamoto components as well. It's not often you see Japanese cherry used with audio equipment.You'll have to tell us how they sound.Have fun! 
Latest iPod Configuration -- Any New Hope?
Hi Glen,Yeah, I went through exactly the same thing when I first got my iPod.I leave all my music files on a 400GB LaCie Firewire drive. If you make any changes to your iTunes library like changing titles, artists, descriptions adding or deleting ... 
Love it, or Hate it ? (wood trim)
Marco, my Dad's KLH speakers from the same era were pathetically constructed. They looked decently elegant when they were brand new sitting on the Scandinavian credenza with multicolor fabric grills [a color scheme similar to Tom Ridge's alerts]. ... 
6922/6DJ8/E88CC on B&K tube tester
Sorry to hear that. One problem though. Another Audiogoner has my tube tester right now. I won't be getting it back for a week or two.I do see your point about the sockets and settings might being the same for both testers.Sorry, I couldn't be mor... 
6922/6DJ8/E88CC on B&K tube tester
I have a small portable B&K Dynajet 606 that is able to test the 6922 family of tubes. It actually has separate entries in the manual for 6922 and 6DJ8 and slightly different settings as well.Do you have the manual or tube subsitution guide as... 
Love it, or Hate it ? (wood trim)
It depends.USA.Here's something to fuel the fire both figuratively and possibly literally if I don't like the way it sounds. I'll be receiving this preamp in a couple weeks:http://www.exemplaraudio.com/exception.htmI liked that it looks like a rec... 
Separate Transport & DAC: Why not?
For the past four years I've only used separate transports and DACs because I liked the flexibility of being able to change DACs and cables whenever I found something that I thought might work better.Lately I've had my eye on the different modifie...
