| DC Metro I live in Bethesda and would be interested. I know of a few others that would be into it as well. FWIW, there is a local Bottlehead contingent that meets about once per quarter.Great idea.Hat | |
| Hallelujah by Lenard Cohen Also on Jeff Buckley's Grace LP. Not a female vocalist, but a haunting rendition. Def. worth the cost of admission.Hat | |
| What headphone amp to buy-Sennheiser HD 600? I have a pair of HD600 and I'm running them through a Bottlehead SEX amp. If you have any interest in DIY, I would HIGHLY recommend this amp. It's hard to beat @ $369. Even if you're a little hesitant of DIY, the Bottlehead community is extremely ... | |
| If it's snowing, I'm going I did say Pali :^) Great run. While It's been a few years since I've been to A-Basin, I remember it like it was yesterday. Nothing beats a day @ the Basin, finishing up with a few cold ones on "the beach!"As for Vail, what's not to love. Blue Sky ... | |
| Best DAC under $2K Gmood,Glad to see there's someone else that shares my postitve experience w/ Peter's NOS DAC. I just read some of your prior posts regarding the DAC and your decription is spot on. Soundstage definition, clarity, grainless highs, tight & contr... | |
| Best DAC under $2K If you're at all into DIY, Peter Daniel has a non-oversampling DAC kit based on the TDA1543 chip. There's a mention of it in the "Latest News" section on his sitehttp://audiosector.com/It's an extremely well thought out design and very musical (mu... | |

| Best cartridge under $800 for Graham 2.2 I was using a Lyra Helikon w/ my 2.2 and switched to a Denon DL-103R to "sample" it... I ended up selling my Helikon. Although the 103R doesn't have the absolute resolution and extention of the Helikon, I found it to have a better overall musicali... | |
| Legacy Focus 20/20 Speaker amp I demoed a pair of 20/20's using a CJ Premier 11a in my home. Although the speakers are rated 96dB/W/m, they like power to control those 12" drivers. The 20/20's sounded wonderful w/ the CJ @ lower volume. When pushed, the CJ started to break up a... | |
| Best Redbook player with XLR outs Meridian 588 is worth considering as well. Head-to-head, I actually preferred it to ML390S (Rowland/Mac/Dynaudio/Cardas Golden Ref system... can't remember the exact models, but it was very, very nice). I had every intention of purchasing the Levi... | |
| Cart match for OL Silver/Sota Sapphire/PH-1 Thanks for the responses. I did try the 501 on my system, but it was in a different house, with a different system rack, different room size, different phono pre... and, to be honest, the cart was most likely not set up for optimum performance. I ... | |

| What should i upgrade next? I run the PV-12al w/ a Premier 11a and absolute love the combo. Prior to the Premier 11a, I had a MF-2250. Although it was powerful enough to run stubborn speakers, I felt it had a slight grain, which to my ears, sounded harsh and fatiguing - but ... | |
| Help with TT recommendations. btw, the above was regarding JD's cable post. i was a little late on the draw getting this one out. | |
| Help with TT recommendations. i'm a fan of AZ products, and i'd love to see what they'd do in my system, but for now, i'm satisfied w/ the rhapsody's. eventually, i'm planning on moving from the C-J MF-2250 to the MV-55 or MV-60... @ that time, i'll most likely move into anoth... |
