| MIT Oracle MA Digital AES/EBU Camb...I would say the MA-X is much more true to the source with much crisper edges/detail, more articulate. The Acoustic Revive is more musical, almost analog in character like all the AR stuff. Acoustic Revive has sort or a house sound that is v... | |
| MIT Oracle MA Digital AES/EBU Funny this thread has been revived, I forgot about it. I can't believe it's been 2 years since I got the MA-X, time flies! I still have it, use it and feel even stronger about it's ability. A lot of things have changed around it as it's now connec... | |
| Good bass test tracks on vinyl This is off topic a bit, it's not vinyl. If you have the ability to play 24/192 files, the new Dark Knight Rises soundtrack (Hans Zimmer) from HDTracks is seriously dynamic and has bass to the deepest, darkest regions of the netherworld. Oh my. It... | |
| Good bass test tracks on vinyl Roscoeii's suggestions are very good ones to get low, great artists as well. Another extreme bass situation I have come upon recently is S_W_Z_K which I would also put in the "not for everyone" category. I'm not sure how or if you can get more bas... | |
| Best Rock Album in 2012 Here's one for ya'll...it's just one song, not an album. It's only available in the audiophile dreaded 320kbs but hey, it's free! You can download it here http://www.theafghanwhigs.com/The Afghan Whigs covering Frank Ocean's Lovecrimes. Oh hell ye... | |
| Budget USB cable? First, I'm with you in that it's a bit of a "not again!" feeling to now have to deal with finding the USB cable that sounds best in my system. But....my experience has demonstrated to my ears that it does in fact matter and despite Al's comments a... | |
| 2012 Discoveries Caught In The Wake Forever "Against A Simple Wooden Cross"I've been listening to a pre-release copy of this album from Hibernate, a label that can do no wrong these days when it comes to ambient/drone/modern classical music. I had not heard Caught... | |
| 2012 Discoveries So this is not actually a discovery for me, been a fan of his since I first heard his Nostalgia Ultra mixtape but I thought this thread was the best place to post this. Frank Ocean is just special. I'm not that big of an R+B fan in general so it's... | |

| How diverse is your musical taste? This is a very interesting question. I'd have to say that my taste is much more diverse than most...or really bad:) I was thinking about how to measure this beyond just evaluating my catalog and what I came up with was the reaction of others to wh... | |
| 2012 Discoveries Todd - Yes, I do have Maraqopa. I have to admit that I have not listened to it that much. The times I did play it I did not find it overly engaging, although I don't dislike it by any means. I prefer his quieter moments so that album was less appe... | |

| Ads with no picture WTF?? Glad I'm not alone. I've had problems with posting pics as well. I've had numerous ads where the pictures did post and then disappeared and some ads where the pics would not post at all. I had included my email address so folks could contact me fo... | |
| Best Rock Album in 2012 LOVE that video! I want some of those robots. Guys if you have not seen it, go check out the video Synthfreek is talking about. The music is stellar but it's also a very cool little film. Synthfeek...truly meant it, love the work. Keep us informed... |
