| Best Live Recording on LP The widely distributed bootleg of Allman Bros. '92 acoustic tour is a gem. Van Morisson - It's Too Late To Stop Now is another winner.Agree w/Little Feat - Waiting For Columbus | |
| Getting back into audio and need advice.... Keep your transport and upgrade your DAC. Down the road we will all likely end up using files on computer as source, and the DAC will be major contributor to sound quality. High $ one piece cdp is a waste of money, if you ever decide to sell it, y... | |

| Apple Lossless vs iTunes Plus Marco,Yeah, I got to hear a friends' ModWright Transporter and was very impressed. One of the top digital sources I've heard. That experience was the first time I actually felt a positive reaction to any digital gear that made think, "Perhaps we w... | |

| What is the best integrated tube amp under $3k ? Stevehifi, shame on you! You haven't posted anything on any thread other than about an amp that rep? You will quickly have zero credibility if you don't disclose. Where's Audiofeil when we need him? Cheers,Spencer | |

| Pass Labs X250 with merlin VSM-mm/system overhaul? Brian,My recollection is that regarding the Joule 100's that the upgrade from mkII to mkIII is VERY significant. Cost difference is negligible, so I'd say to avoid the mkII. FWIW, I've owned the LA100mkIII, the LA150, and the Dodd, and the Dodd is... |
