| Brandi Carlile Brandi does a nice show; when I saw her, she covered "Folsom Prison Blues" and "Madman across the Water" in addition to her own stuff. Recommended. I like the first two discs a lot, the third not so much. My recollection is of forgettable recordin... | |
| going Pass Labs, do I need "Class A " ? Another great resource for Pass questions is Mark at Reno HiFi. You might contact him, with your question, and about demo deals, etc. | |
| McIntosh or Bryston amps for Legacy Speakers Sgr now runs Codas with his Helixes, and it sounds very good. Maybe he'll chime in.John | |
| Airport Express clicking sound Thanks Steve!PSA suggested I approach the skipping as a PC problem, so I: upgraded the system in my MACbook, updated to latest Itunes, put in new memory (8GB), and replaced the external drive on which I store my music. I also did an activity searc... | |

| Thoughts from THE Show, is $29k the new $10k? Anyone over 50 years of age can not tell the difference between $10K and $100K of speaker. It is a fact of aging.This is surprising. My impression is that many people over fifty claim to be able to detect differences between speakers much closer i... | |

| Airport Express clicking sound Very curious to hear more about a clipping DAC, Steve. I'm getting "skipping" (interrupted signal, different places in songs on different plays) while using my Perfect Wave DAC since upgrading to the MK II board (only with computer as transport, n... | |
| Biwire speakers If you use jumpers, the choice of the LF or HF posts for running the speaker wires in may make a distinctly audible difference. "Conventional wisdom" seems to favor HF; my slightly bass shy speakers sound better when connected through the LF.JOhn | |

| what kind of discount on demo speakers? As everyone has said, there's a lot of variables here, which makes it very hard to say from afar. If we knew what speaker was at issue, it would be easier to advise.That said, I shoot for 60% of MSRP for used gear in good condition (although one c... | |
| How to unpack 150lbs+ towers First advice: enlist a friend. Much of the detail is going to depend on the packing, and how the box/crate opens. For my 150lb/55 inch towers, the best method was to stand boxes upright, open on a long side and "walk" the speaker out, with gentle ... | |
| PS Audio PerfectWave DAC Upgrade Anyone have this experience with the Mk. II upgrade?:I am getting "skips" or brief interruptions in the music, when running a MAC book via USB into the DAC (it really does "sound like vinyl"!). Happens with two different USB cables, but not with a... |
