| My love of music is killing me. I'm so sorry for your loss. It's not fair, and what a difficult thing to not only outlive your own son, but to watch him suffer for so long. I lost my dad to cancer and spent his last month with him, and also held his hand upon his last breath. It... | |
| Light, small, loud, powered speaker - Help Adam Audio A3X should have you covered on all counts. There are other pro-audio solutions as well. The Adam is excellent. Their A5X and A7X are even better but will go over your weight limit and may be larger than you like. | |
| Best CD I've heard so far 2011......... Thanks to Marco and the other folks that suggested Sarah Jarosz new release. Fine fine record. What a young talent! Watched her youtube vids of the Austin City Limits performance and just loved them. That is one heck of a band. She sounds much lik... | |
| Muddy Waters' "Muddy Waters: Folk Singer" is among my own personal favorite recordings. Which recording of his music are you referring to? The original vinyl version I used to have was just outstanding. I can't recall what pressing it was though. | |
| What's the best Tube DAC you have heard? hi jax2:here is another choice which will drive you crazy.....snipI'll try to control myself.It isn't your choices at all that drive me crazy. I have loved the Quad 57 in a friend's system, and probably would enjoy the Zanden and the CJ. I just wo... | |

| What's the best Tube DAC you have heard? with regard to the zanden, while i have not executed a direct comparision with other dacs, i have yet to hear sytem that resembles the "classic" tube sound to the degree i heard when a zanden dac was part of a stereo system. so while not a truly s... | |
| What's the best Tube DAC you have heard? since nobody has specified what "best" means, the implicit connotation is one's favorite dac, regardless of its sound.in that case, the first zanden dac smokes them all.Regardless of its sound? What else would it be a favorite on the basis of? Its... | |
| What's the best Tube DAC you have heard? I loved the Modwright Transporter. With the tubes optimized, it is difficult to imagine it could be bettered without dropping a whole lot more cash. It directly serves your computer-based library as well. If you can find an Audio-GD reference 7 or... | |

| Good CD for testing bass response If you are just looking to position speakers for optimum delivery then why not use test tones and an SPL meter? That'll give you all the time you need to move things about.For music, Radiohead's Amnesiac, Pack'd Like Sardines ought to shake some w... | |
| What is my next step to a better sound ? Useless to discuss changing anything until you say what you think the current deficiencies in the sound are and what you are wanting to hear that you do not currently.I don't entirely agree with this statement. Sometimes, especially at the level o... | |
| Best solid state headphone amp under $1000 For which headphones? I can only speak for the combination I use, which I'm very happy with: Violectric V181 with Audeze LCD-2's is an excellent combination. You might also try posing the question over at Head-Fi.org. I might include the headphone... | |
