| Best CD I've heard so far 2011......... Hey, Thanks Richard. I'm writing from RMAF - I do like Will Oldham, as you know and had no idea he had a new one. Been enjoying the crap out of Diamond Mine! Not the stuff of audiophile dreams but a great album - raw and simple and right to the he... | |
| Is Stax headphone still in business I picked up a pair of SR-80's on ebay around 2005 for about $50. Current top Stax package goes for $4650.The current flagship from Stax is the SR009 which goes for $5200 for just the headphones. It requires a dedicated headphone amp which can run ... | |
| Best CD I've heard so far 2011......... Richard - there are two DVD's that I'm aware of that are of 16 Horsepower live. I have both. One is a live concert DVD and the other is mixed and includes all their videos (only a few, but all are very good). The two, especially the live concert, ... | |
| Best CD I've heard so far 2011......... Richard - glad you are enjoying one of my favorite bands - Yours Truly is on its way - I could not believe there was disc of theirs I actually didn't have. The new Tom Waits studio album, Bad as Me, is coming right up too later this month!!! His l... | |
| Chicks With Guitars Yes, additional thumbs up for the new Feist and Lisa Hannigan - both are excellent. | |
| Chicks With Guitars The new Feist is coming out in a few days. Did anyone mention her yet? The Reminder is a great album. | |
| Best CD I've heard so far 2011......... As an example, I heard an interesting song at the end of last night's CSI NY that I want to track down. Beautiful.A quick web search revealed that was "If I Fall Behind" by Bruce Springsteen.I love Antony (with or without his Johnsons), btw. I kno... | |
| Logitech Duet sonds awful Seemingly contrary to the logical explanation above regarding wireless data transfer, I have found with my SB Touch that using it hard-wired, via ethernet, does sound better than using it wireless. Sorry, I have no explanation for that, it's just ... | |
| Best CD I've heard so far 2011......... IIRC, the cinematic amulet in question indeed contains a "floater". I haven't followed LB into the loo just yet, but - then, again - I've never had the opportunity. Myabe it's for the best....Yeah, the mind reels with unpleasant possibilities... y... | |
| Best CD I've heard so far 2011......... I had to revisit that scene to be reminded the Abba turd was actually embalmed in some fluid. | |
| Best CD I've heard so far 2011......... Disclaimer #4: Buckingham could take a dump on a plate and I'd probably find it compelling.LMAO. You don't have a dried Lindsey Buckingham turd in an amulet around your neck, do you? | |
| The Audiophile's Wife Just wonderful! Your wife has great wit and talent! I've forwarded it to my wife so she won't feel so alone. Thanks for sharing that. | |
| Best CD I've heard so far 2011......... Hey Richard - I just listened to the NPR Tiny Desk Concert by King Creosote and Jon Hopkins - great stuff indeed! Thanks. | |
| Budget DAC No brainer: PS Audio DLIII used. You can have it upgraded later, or sell at a minimal loss. | |
| Chicks With Guitars I was just reminded of the whole southern CA wrist-slitting set on another thread. These bands are all lead by the distinctive female vocalist. I don't know that that they all are accompanied by guitars, but the shoe fits, as it were. These all fi... |
