Best Rock Drummers
Based on Blu-ray performances that I've recently seen, I really agree with the previous Vinnie Colaiuta comments. His drumming on Jeff Beck's performances have really caught my eyes & ears!Additionally, I don't believe Lenny White has been men... 
Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD
I second both the Ayre & Wavelength recommendations.Before I owned my current Wavelength Crimson, I owned the Wavelength Brick Silver Edition. Knowing that Gordon Rankin of Wavelength provided his Asynchronous expertise for the QB-9, I auditio... 
Need computer audio advice.
Good advice so far....my 2 cents follows:I have almost 30,000 AIFF tracks on a 2tb drive and will probably never need more storage. So, because you’re only using your Mac’s 500 GB hard drive for your OS and other file storage now, as little as 1... 
Topnotch BluRay Concert.....
Great thread! I already had some of the recommendations, but bought several more. All were quite wonderful! I especially enjoyed the RTF (Return to Forever) returns, Live at Montreux performance. Although I was familiar with the individual RTF per... 
What are your TWO favorite Symphonic Recordings?
After just finishing listening to Krip's version, critical it is then "Schubert"! The quality of this late '50's recording and the performance garner my critical approval! Bold and powerful, but delightfully uplifting. On the other hand, I just be...

Best bourbon?
I've "auditioned" all the Bourbon mentioned & definitely concur with most of the preceeding comments. Recently tried Spring Mill an Indiana Bourbon Whiskey at a friend's house. Upon the 1st sip, I grabbed the bottle to check it's proof because... 
Has the Oppo carried the AV industry?
One of the best marketing threads that I've seen. Avgoround: Congrats. on initiating such a positive discussion of Oppo! Whether it was your intent or not, the result has, I'm sure, pleased Oppo's "Mad Men".....! 
Topnotch BluRay Concert.....
Great thread! I have many of the DVD's mentioned, but have added more from this thread to my to-buy short list. But, I don't think that "The Doors: Live at the Bowl'68" was mentioned. Given 1968's limited video technology and a need for such recor... 
Computer output to DAC, which route?
After selling my Wadia 861 CDP in 2006, I've utilized PC audio since then.I consider it a canard to make conclusions mainly, or solely on audio output types. Thus, my experiences suggest that the correlation between output types and sonic results ...

Hi Broadstone: If you have the opportunity, a report of your trials & findings would be appreciated and perhaps helpful to other dipole owners..... 
Using Dipole Speakers in a Stereo System
If the egg crate foam helps, you may consider something with more of a broadband acoustic effect. Several years ago, I built 2 DIY acoustic panels via Jon Risch's design perameters on AudioAsylum. My final floor standing-size products were 6'H x3'...
