Bryston 7B SST vs. Parasound Halo JC 1 shootout...
Very nicely written review...honest and up front. I also lust after the stuff I can't afford, knowing that it will get me the next 10-20% of the way there. 'Til then I will have to 'settle' on what I can afford, knowing I'm 80-90% of the way there... 
Bryston 7B SST vs. Parasound Halo JC 1 shootout...
I think All Ears is helping me with what I am trying to say..."If I'll be allowed to put on my dealer hat for a moment (I can see all of you cringing), I strongly disagree. I've heard JC 1s up against Pass X600s, Atma-Sphere MA-2s, and Rowland Mod... 
Bryston 7B SST vs. Parasound Halo JC 1 shootout...
I certainly didn't mean to suggest the Halo was a bad amp, as I have never heard it for myself. It seems to me with all the reviews I have read lately, I finish the article by hearing the reviewer say if I didn't already own "this," I would concid... 
HDCD Question....
You guys think MicroSoft will do something with HDCD?? I assumed they would pulled a Harmon International...ya know, buy out the competition. 
HDCD Question....
1 correction T Bone...Microsoft bought HDCD technology. Never heard why they did, but maybe to phase it out in favor of their proprietary Windows Media Files. I would not count on HDCD being around for too much longer...not that it every really "t...

Every review in Stereophile and every other mag for that matter is a rave review. 
Saddended by the death of Maurice Gibb
I never knew how good they were until I bought their DVD, and dam, they were so much more than the disco stuff I knew them for. One of music's pioneering bands. 
Would 1 of those cat trees make a good bass trap?
A "good" bass trap turns sound waves into mechanical waves (vibrations). 
Almost had her...
too funny Mac...should have set the hook before trying to reel that fish in. 
tube preamps
I second the Sonic Frontiers stuff. I love my Line 1 
would this Deter you from buying used gear????
I would still buy from you, with a price adjustment for the 'de-facement' of the item, but as KF pointed out, it's a sad world if we all go to this extreme. I think rather than take the time and money to engrave our posessions we take the time and... 
PC's for tubes?
TG Audio is suppose to be a good PC for tube gear. I haven't heard them yet, but do plan on trying one in the near future. 
Why are you here? ...music or equipment
Equipment. I use other sites (kazza) to find music. 'Goners have been helpful with what types of equipment goes with what, and for silly questions I always dream up. I've also learned the most important thing one can learn...opinions are like a**h... 
Opinions Bat VK500, Mccormack DNA 2, Levinson amps
I really liked Levinson...seemed to do everthing right in my system (however at the time I was doing a side by side with Marantz MA500s in a biamp config. One would expect the much more expensive Levinson to outperform the Marantz). Never heard th... 
A happy and joyful festivus to everyone
VooDoo...I gave my brother a little device you might find handy (aside from a BB Gun with a scope;)). It is a little antitheft device for laptops that has a motion sensor, and when tripped, puts out an 80db alarm that should very quickly teach the...
