| A reappearance of Black Diamond Racing? I just saw this thread, and coming a bit late to the game, thought I still had some things to share/add. First off, "Deej" was a friend, and I've been using BDR exclusively since '92. I did quite a bit of beta testing for him in the '90's trying l... | |
| Parts for older Well Tempered tables Thanks Rich. I will likely reach out to Origin Live. I did contact Well Tempered several months ago, and they could not help in any way per their report. | |

| Best Keith Jarrett records I've been listening intently to KJ now for well over 35 years and have most of his recordings. The Koln Concert is what really put him (and ECM I would argue) on the map, and an essential recording. My Songs is another wonderful recording from tha... | |
| Forsell Statement Who and what are they? Simply the most musical transport ever made. Astonishing w/ the Forsell DAC, and if the rest of your entire system is up to it in all ways (a/c, room tuning/acoustics, and rest of "equipment"), even better w/ the Zanden DAC. I have both Forsell pi... | |
| Dead Can Dance As other postings report,DCD is no longer... many albums...My favorites: the serpent's egg and aion. There is also a video from towards the within tour that's worth catching. If you like DCD, you might also check out Michael Brook(cobalt blue and ... |
