What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report
Peter Gabriel - Passiona bit compressed dynamically, but sounds beautiful through the Oppo 
Kids during audition - aaaaagh!!
I've been in this same situation as the OP - with similar frustration and incomprehension. And I wonder of this is an accurate analogy?- What if a friend invited me over to see her newly acquired projector, made by Technology Company Z, with simpl... 
Do posters intend to hurt the feelings of other members?
You know what's interesting is to pick on a forum category - say, "Speakers" - and then go back to the VERY first postings there (in "Speakers", they're from 1999) and see how the language, engagement, syntax, and civility has changed in the last ...

Wilson Benesch has their own house drivers, though I think they use a ScanSpeak tweeter. And doesn't Sonus Faber also have their own drivers?Decware does for sure.

My band played the after-party for Jeff Tweedy, so we all got free tickets to his show.  
Favorite band or artist of all time?
I'm not a rabid Beatles fan, but I realized the other day that, when they finished recording "Abbey Road", their last recording, the oldest of them, Ringo, was 29.Harrison was only 26. And just 6 1/2 years had passed since their first album. Decry... 
Cd's to make a come back in the future?
Plus, how may of us take a time-capsule tour when we go through friends' or spouse's cd collections that haven't been updated since the late 90's?
