Best excuse for playing loud music?
The live event was loud. I'm trying to reproduce the live event. 
Benchmark DAC-1 vs. Bel Canto DAC-2
I have the Benchmark but have not heard the Bel Canto. All I can tell you is that the DAC 1 sounds better than my Sony XA 777 ES on redbook even though the Sony is a highly rated $3000 player. 
What makes a system compelling?
Compelling is the unearthing of sonic memories that elicited strong emotional responses. It does take time to identify such a system. Ask the salesman at the shop with the best systems. He will tell you what he listens to when the customers are go... 
Rick James - Rest In Peace
Called the cops when my dope smokin neighbor played super freak 30 day in a row at 2 am and at full volume. My wife and I stll joke about it. It was super freaky. I bought one of his cd's with super freak on it on the day of his death. R.I.P. Rick 
Rush albums sound quality
That's good news boldstrummer. I'll be seeing the latest concert next Saturday at the Tweeter Center just south of Chicago. Alex' court date is after this concert so I won't have to worry about him being in the clink. I'm pretty sure I'll get to ...

Can we have an "Ask Sean" catagory?
Yes like playland at McDonalds the forums are a draw. Losing Sean was like taking away one of the big slides. Now all we can do is play in the ball house and you know how many kids pee in there.

What do you look like?
OK- I look like I fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down. I lied- I'm not cuter than Slappy. He's a damn greek god. 
What do you look like?
I look like Slappy- maybe a little cuter. 
Anyone using an SA-102 on a tough load?
I tried a SA 100 MK3 with my Shahinian Diapasons. The Shahinians are rated at 800 watts and dip to 1 ohm. My ears gave out before the Plinius did. It can really blast. It seemed more powerful than my 380/channel class b amp. I think the 102 has mo...

It's true Slappy. Sean revealed a dealer who was less than up front about disclosing his intentions. Then an exchange of accusations turned the dealers thread into an integrity debate. Then Sean took out an ad on Audiogon that apparently irritated... 
Dynamic versus Electrostatic Part Deux
zeldgin is spelled Zildjian I'm glad you like your speakers. 
Can we have an "Ask Sean" catagory?
I guess Sean has been banned from Audiogon.
