Album of the Week - Opinion/Samples
I am going to pitch for The Trash Can Sinatras. They also suffer from lack of prolificness (if that is an actual word) but all three of their albums Cake, I've Seen Everything, and A Happy Pocket, all recorded at their own (now former) studio Shab... 
$9.99 for a new CD release, yes it has happened
not bad 
what are you listening to lately?
I didn't say I preferred Los Lobos, I said it seemed that LLB were a little more entrenched in one sound than Los Lobos. I dont think I have listened to this LLB album enough to make a judgement of which I enjoy more. its good to see they are gett... 
what are you listening to lately?
My recent purchases (Last week):Shack ...Here's Tom with the Weather. This is a shack CD through and through. It seems to be much happier, but has the same signature guitar sounds and vocals.Royksopp - Melody A.M. A nice mixture of background type... 
If it were you, which non-Sony SACD?
If you are considering the SCD-1, why wouldnt you consider the SCD-777ES, two channel only player? Its about half the cost of the SCD-1, but supposedly is just about equal in performance, then you can pour the rest of the money into mods. 
Rediscovering the Joy of Digital?
As far as high priced analog, it has been my own personal experience that you can definitely better CD with good analog, but you have to spend much more to do so. I realize this may have to do with poor matching, or bad synergy, so this is not to ... 
EMM Labs DAC6
Even if the modified transport is only 3750, the dac only works with this transport, or am I mistaken about that? Therefore, if the dac is rendered useless by a flawed transport, you are effectively out 10k.Your analogy isnt necessarily proper, be... 
EMM Labs DAC6
I can not attest to its sonics as I have never heard it. And I will not take your last sentence as an affront to my tastes. However I would be hesitant to drop 10k on a digital playback system that has so many widely known problems.Is it that diff...

"I would long ago had much to say except for the fact that the Phillips crashed. It is not covered under warranty by EMM and I an not certain that Phillips knows how to repair them"Have you seen the marathon of threads on Audio Asylum's Hi Rez Hig... 
Best CD
Wouldnt it be easier to get a storage medium where you can keep the discs without their jewel cases? 301 discs can be easy to store without them and then you open up the possibilities for many many more CD players. 
DCFC on SACD
It is on the lighter side of indie rock. Jangly guitars, high voiced male. Most fans of indie rock like these guys, although they are not my favorite... 
P.Gabriel in Hi-fi +...a real treat.
Don't leave me hanging Dave. What did you think? 
P.Gabriel in Hi-fi +...a real treat.
I have never been a Peter Gabriel fan, but as I was perusing SACDs yesterday at Best Buy, I figured what the hell and bought Up.I took it home and listened to the first half of the album on headphones and was very impressed with not only the music... 
Best band of the 80's
I vote for New Order. Their dance influenced indie pop still sounds fresh to these ears. I would have to concur with The Smiths, U2, JAMC, E&TB. But my top two are surely U2 and NO.What about The Alarm? They had two fantastic albums followed b... 
Sound Card with External DAC
While trying to not delve into semantics, I had a problem with "any", not "should". But I dont think its necessary to argue with you, because I dont think we disagree.
