| Essential Gene Ammons Siliab: thanks for the suggestion on Gentle Jug. I live in Cleveland, and the Goldmine National Record Show happens to be here (at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame) this weekend. I was lucky enough to find a very nice copy of Gentle Jug and have it ... | |
| USB-SPDIF Cable Does such an animal exist? I thought you need to use a converter like Empirical or Hagerman. | |
| Have you ever deceived your wife-audio purchase Glad someone revived this thread so that I may confess to a recent awkward experience as a result of my less-than-full disclosure. I had convinced my wife that I invested only X in my system. The truth is that my investment has been more like 4X, ... | |
| RCA Splice Try Vampire Wire for a coupler. I have no first-hand experience, but I imagine in might be a step-up from Rat Shack. | |
| USB DAC better than a Scott Nixon? I just picked up a MHTD Paradisea+. So far, I am very impressed. Here's a review of the Paradisea that I agree with, based on my own experience:Enjoy The MusicI got mine on ebay. Of course, it doesn't come close to my Wavelength Cosecant -- but th... | |
| would usb sound better than a sound card HDD to USB dac is vastly superior to using a sound card -- especially a PC sound card (even with Vista). Try a Wavelength USB dac (i have and love the cosecant) and you won't look back. | |
| Speaker Cables for SET Amp auditorium 23 cables. relatively thin copper. particularly good for longer runs. i bought a pair earlier this year and couldnt be happier with them. | |

When usuing a Mac (as i now do), the winner is Apple Lossless hands down. Don't ask me... | |
| Wizard of Oz / Dark Side of the Moon you can have the fudge brownies. i'll take a bag of Doritos and a large Dominos pizza. | |
| It was 40 years ago today..... i envy that you got to experience Sgt Pepper's in "real time." It is my favorite, but it only became so many years after its release.What pressing will you be listening to/which is your favorite? | |
| Buying Someone's Records: An Ethics Question Classicjazz:Thank you for a most erudite response to my original post. I can see that you are a student of political philosophy -- or at least you should be. It seems to me that your position is informed by John Rawls' Theory of Justice, and if it... | |
| Buying Someone's Records: An Ethics Question thanks for all of the input. to clarify, my intention would be to keep, not flip, the records. i would particularly not look to sell the old blues 78s, which would probably fetch the most $$.in most business transactions, i believe that as long as... | |
| Cost no Object but Small Room i don't know if $9500 meets your definition of "cost no object," but for that you can own the most magical sounding speakers i have ever heard: the Auditorium 23 Solovox. Based on what you have said are your musical tastes, I highly recommend that... | |
| Accustic Arts Dev and TBG:Any chance you guys could use complete sentences and observe basic rules of grammer? It would make your joust much more entertaining. Thanks. | |
| First cd purchase Big Audio Dynamite -- This Is Big Audio Dynamite (1985) -- but my memory of that period is somewhat "veiled." |
