| any early 80's alt/soft punk fans out there? Sadley, yes! I have just re-purchased a bunch of Depeche Mode (I forgot what a great album Violator is), REM and now the Smiths (coming out soon) on vinyl. I have always loved New Order, great band. A lot of stuff from that era sounds very dated, ... | |
| USB DACs with 24/192 via USB There's a great article about this in the current Absolute Sound and the limitations of USB audio. But the BelCanto USB interface, that then is meant to go from the USB interface into a DAC, improves the sound tremendously. I don't have one, since... | |
| CD Recorder :Fostex or Tascam? I would look at the Aleisis or Korg MR1000 before I would check out those others. They do a lot more than just record to CD, and the KORG will record directly to DSD so you get a much higher quality than just REDBOOK CD. You can take the recording... | |

| Do you plan to buy The Beatles CD remasters? Well, CD's sound like crap after listening to vinyl. I had become accustomed to CD's over the years, and still love SACD, but dude, after listening to vinyl again, I was hooked. The best CD playback I have heard, compared to a moderate vinyl rig, ... | |
| What should I upgrade? get some Bel Canto Ref1000 monoblocks. Get the original model for a better deal. You will be shocked at how your speakers will sound. They are underpowered right now. | |
