CHASING TRANE
Thanks for this suggestion.  I just watched and found it very interesting.  Very nice documentary! 
Michael Fremer's system
Fremer is a character, and a likable one at that.  I really enjoy his stories and his style.  That his room is cluttered is fine with me.  It's similar to mine in many ways.  The clutter is his, and it's what give it his own unique style.  I was d...

Alternative mat for SME turntable
Nlakoumentas, I hear what you are saying about the delicate nature of the SME mat.  I somehow scuffed mine and have no recollection how it happened.  I received a mesh-like mat with a previous Clearaudio TT I owned and still have it.  I might try ...

Has anyone made the jump to $uper High end and were disappointed?
Good point mward.  I am also very reluctant to spend much on digital technology, considering how often it changes and relegates everything before it as "old tech."  I am aware that all gear depreciates, but it seems that computer tech loses its va... 
Dave's Picks 24
Has anyone else noticed how "off" Jerry is on this release?He vocally stumbles through several of the songs and his guitar playing is not up to par from most everything I've heard from '72.Disc one is amazing so maybe the drugs were kicking in as ... 
Has anyone made the jump to $uper High end and were disappointed?
My current rig is total value of around $50K.My first real high end system was around $5K.I can honestly say that all components I have upgraded over the past 12 years until now have been improvements over their previous versions.  This includes s...

Tonight I found a copy of Daft Punk - Random Access Memories on vinyl, and based on this list, picked it up.  I can report that this list is not wrong.  This is a gem of a record.  I have it in digital format but never really liked it as a whole u...
