| Is DSD download already an extinct format? Rja,I agree with you that the high-res situation is a real mess at present. I hope they manage to get easy to use servers in a variety of configurations available (server only, server and dac, all-in-one, etc.) along with reasonably priced high-re... | |
| Is DSD download already an extinct format? Pkoegz,You have missed out on tons of great music with your buying choices, but ignorance is bliss, as the old saying goes. | |
| Is DSD download already an extinct format? Dasign, I don't know what Sony is thinking either. We've been promised high-res downloads for many years now and finally about a year ago Sony tells us, "Here comes the big push! We're going to have servers and tons of downloads everywhere!" And t... | |
| Pink Floyd Pro Use Now, to answer your question, there is a website, popsike.com, that lists the results of auctions for records. That site may help you determine the value of your records. | |
| Pink Floyd Pro Use Roxy is correct. If you do an auction you can set a reserve for the lowest price you will take for your records. If the highest bid does not meet your reserve there is no winner. You can also do this on ebay or discogs or other sites for a wider s... | |

| CJ preamp upgrade suggestions Mfoley, How have the Telefunkens worked out for you? | |
| CJ preamp upgrade suggestions Glad to hear that your system has come together so well M. That's what we're all after, that elusive synergy that makes all the trouble and expense worth it. When you start experimenting with tubes, just have an idea of what effect you would like ... | |
| Sometimes the record companies got it right.... A lot of Dr. Hook's stuff was written by Shel Silverstein, one of the funniest songwriters ever. If you're into country music, pick up Bobby Bare's, "Drunk and Crazy" and "Down and Dirty" for some great Shel Silverstein songs done by an authentic ... | |
| Top 3 Most Overrated Artists contest in R&R. Czarivey, The Stones are a rock band and what one would now call a garage rock band.
