Steely Dan - New release / June 10th
Onhwy61..just checked my "Pixeleen" at 1:18..no thump. Do you have the DVD-A, or the redbook CD?? 
Finally got the new Steel Dan DVDA
Kinsekd, I thought the video was hilarious...the look on Walter Becker's face when Lizzie "sings", "are you reeling in the cheeves.."... loved it. 
Anyone heard the new Led Zep jJapanese CDs?
Interesting... the difference in the two discs (my old and new copy) is in the peak moments (cymbals crashing, or aggressive guitar attack). The earlier disc breaks up a bit and becomes very annoying in the aggregate.. but Ben you're right. Both d... 
I need a female jazz vocalist. No Krall, No Norah
Ella w/ Duke Ellington..great sound too..

power up and shut down
Thanks for the suggestions..I've tried switching off the preamp while the Aleph 3 is on. Power up = annoying little 'buzz' (about 5-10 seconds) while the tubes 'engage'..(Can DC current hurt the amp?). Power down = two (always two) tiny pops and d... 
Top Ten Speakers of All Time?
JM Reynaud doesn't get the press they should (aside from Listener magazine). I own both the Trentes and the Twin MkIIs... Both are exceptional speakers for the money and they have no equal in the "toe-tapping" catagory. 'very musical line of speak... 
What non-Linn sub would work with all-Linn setup?
I have a REL Strata III and it is a gigantic improvement over my old Sunfire Mk II. The nice thing about REL: The sub hooks up to the amplifier rather than the preamp. I think it really helps integrate the sub with the amp, and brings the system "...
