Revel Studio s great speakers
Yea, I love mine too and started replaying every cd to hear how real everything sounds. I think they are very well balanced speakers and very neutral tone. Excellent detail. They sound even better now that I replaced my Levinson amp with a Pass La... 
I opened both MIT and Transparent netwks
Troy: I think its great that you opened them and especially great that you posted that info for us!! thanks .... Frankly I don't like the muffled sound of Transparent cables and would rather get all of the music to my speakers. I think that "quiet... 
Bob Dylan, have an opinion?
Dekay: Yes, I put on Lou Rawls (At Last), Dinana Krall Love Songs), and Carrie Smith (Confessin' the Blues) to bring out his smile. 
Revel gems?
Much better than you would expect. They are one of the best sounding speakers I've owned. Very real sounding with incredible imaging. Do you have any kind of sub? 
Top Music DVD s?
Fleetwood Mac's "The Dance" is superb as is Roy Orbison's "Black and White Night". If you love Clapton, his dvd "24 Nights" is pretty good. Its the best version of "sunshine of your love" you'll ever hear/see. 
Wanted leads on blues, blues rock folk
"Confessin' the Blues" by Carrie Smith is wonderful. Her idol while growing up was Bessie Smith, giving her a similar sound, only with more recent technology. Truly great horn players (trumpets, trombone and saxes) as well as old guitar. 
Bob Dylan, have an opinion?
Oops ... I forgot to mention: I think Dylan is wonderful. He is one of the great singer/songwriters of the last 30 years. Even when is not singing about something important to me I still love to listen to how he sings his songs. There is a special...

Help re: DVD coax out
I'd bet the outboard dac will be better than the built in ones. definitely try it. 
Toslink vs. Coaxial
Well, all the manufacturers recommend coaxial over Toslink. So, why not use the coaxial? 
Noise canceling headphones?
I have not tried them, but since I'm flying to Italy in two weeks I started doing research about the problem of noise on airplanes. At Headroom.com they don't recommend noise canceling headphones even though they sell them, they recommend Etymotic...

Ok, So I pulled my copy of Beethoven's 9th by Karajan, DG#410 987-2 and can't tell which recording this is! Anyone help?thanks 
Latest comments on PS Audio PP?
I love my P600 w/multiwave. I would hate to go back to plain power. And my Pioneer Elite projection TV benefits just as much.Basically, the PP makes your system sound as good as it can, all the time. 
Cardas vs NBS?
I have tried both for interconnects and think my NBS Statements are so much more revealing and dynamic than the Cardas. I certainly would not describe the Statements as bright. I think they are very neutral. I'm using NBS Professional speaker cabl... 
Future proof DVDA/DVD/CD/CDR player.
I bought the Proceed MDT. This is a completely modular cd/dvd transport. It is software upgradeable through internet downloads and has a small card cage with user replaceable plug in hw cards. It also has replaceable laser module, supposedly to al...
