Anyone here a Terry Callier fan?...
Actually, a Beth Orton junkie. And of course, being a completist, I heard about the song they wrote together. So, I bought his album where she sings backup. I like it! 
Fleetwood Mac - Rumours
Have gone through them all. Cd and vinyl. No doubt the winner(s) are the first two japanese pressings of the cd. Nothing touches either. 
Vandersteen V2W subs
what are the differences between the three models? I have a 2w and think it's the best. 
Tube Characterization: 6DJ8, 6922, 7308, CCa, etc
I have over 100 hundred pairs of this series of tubes. In the past year I've listened to plenty but not all. One problem you'll find is that most take days to have their signature sound settle.Regardless, I'd be willing to participate in this expe... 
The Wizard of Oz and Pink Floyd
Ahh come on guys (and girls)! I thought this was all for fun!The match is coincidence but SO WHAT! There are so many perfect "coincidences" that you should do it atleast once. (Especially puffed).My favourite is when the munchkens start dancing pe... 
Best Rock Drummers
No one touches Keith Moon. He didn't even pay attention to the great things he was doing. Of course, after seeing Terry Bozio w/Zappa and Missing Persons, he deserves a strong second place. And don't forget Chad Wackerman who at age 3 was already ... 
Trying out a tube preamp
Get an Audible Illusions 3A. You will never look back. It costs far less then the Rogue and the CAT (Convergent) and has a wider and more detailed soundstage. PLUS various 6dj8 tubes really make vast differences. I saw one for below a grand recently. 
My digital front end outdoes my analog.....
I am not a proponent of either. Now, saying that, I do have an analogue set-up and a digital set-up. Usually, for ease, I listen to CD's. Some sound great. For fun I spin an album every now and then. And, guess what? Some albums sound MUCH better ... 
CDP build quality
I would burden the manufactorer with the dead units problems. I have never had ANY problem with the many units I own. (Yes, it is time to sell some. I just have too many). Every time I see an original Rega Planet for sale I can only think, "That i... 
MFSL LP's & CD's
Please send me your list. I have many I'm hunting for. 
CD Players – life of laser
I leave a disc playing 24/7. It's been 6 yrs so far. Considering the 100,000 hr rule Gregm mentions, I have at least 5 yrs and 5 mths left. By then I should really be looking at a new transport anyway. 
MFSL Gold CD's USA VS made in Japan
I try to have both of each title offered that way and can definitively say that every case is unique.Quick examples: Steeley Dan is muddier on Japan and tighter on USA. (All my friends agree with me that the USA is better). BUT, Dark Side of the M... 
Does Apple Lossless + iTunes + Windows = Perfect
Why not just play the lossless songs from the iPod directly into your stereo? No Kmixer! 
John Gorka
Just saw him at a 200 seat theater in PA. All I can say is, "If you have the chance to see him, and you don't, your dumb". Live is even better. I can't wait 'til he's back. 
Has anyone hearing to much digital information ?
I must ask: Which Marantz player is doling out to much info? I'm truly an anti-Marantz guy in disbelief BUT willing to check it out in my system. Let me know if your selling. Thanks.
