| Best wireless headphones for flying of the many i've heard the sony xm5 (or their predecessor the xm4) are probably the best combo of comfort, tech and sound | |
| Besides the Audiolab 6000CDT, @shtinkydog good deal--the cambridge is a solid piece. fwiw, the pio dv-79 isn't bluray and it loads and reads discs very quickly. | |
| Besides the Audiolab 6000CDT, since (as you unambiguously state) you want a rec for something other than the audiolab, i'd look at the cambridge cxc. for much less $$$ you can't beat a used pioneer dvd-79. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @bslon i agree wholeheartedly on "jack johnson"--it's his best work (tho i'm sometimes partial to bitches brew) and much more engaging than "kind of blue", which sounds oddly tame after all these years @bdp24 what i like about rusty young's pedal... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? bram tchiakovsky, "funland"--their overlooked third record actually shows quite a bit of songcraft poco "live"--this is the 1976 live disc, which is harder-edged than the 1972 "deliverin" and has a couple of classics in "angel" and restrain" | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? @spiritofradio, we were talking fleetwood mac's "future games," which i'd rate as my second favorite behind "kiln house" and just ahead of "bare trees", though i'm occasionally persuaded that "then play on" is their pinnacle. @mammothguy54, i'm w... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @bslon, agree with you wholeheartedly on both "future games" and "catholic boy". i wasn't the biggest bob welch fan, but the title track is a classic + danny kirwan was a genius. as for "catholic boy," it's a lot more musical than you'd expect fro... | |
| How to connect my Cell Phone to my DAC?!?! try playing youtube or pandora on your phone thru the smsl and see if it works. if so, try uninstalling and reinstalling spotify. | |

| Ali Baba i'd surmise that almost all of the deeply-discounted western-branded gear on ali is counterfeit, in the sense of not being authorized by or sold for the account of the brand. however, broadly speaking you find three types of counterfeit products-... | |
