Are some of us losing our minds over upgrades??
Some people feel that for the $3100 cost of the modded Sony they are getting a player that sounds better than cd players that cost $5000 or more. If they are happy with the modded player, that's what counts, to them. Other people are sceptical abo... 
Allmans Brothers and Sisters24/96 on HDTracks
Thanks for the review, Swanny. I'm glad they got it right. I wonder what the Super Duper Deluxe Edition will sound like? 
Pink Floyd on Pandora
Well, it's not exactly anything new. Record labels, managers, publishing companies, etc. have been getting musicians and songwriters to sign away the income from their music since music has been recorded, and probably well before that. If we could...

Beware: Fraudulent Ads from Zero Feedback guys

Beware: Fraudulent Ads from Zero Feedback guys
I've also noticed some "too good" adds from 0 feedback sellers recently. The internet and instant money transfers have made an ideal environment for scammers.One way to help determine if the seller at least has the gear that is for sale is to ask ...

Upgrade PWD MKI to MKII worth the investment?
OK, I found that recent thread:PS audio PWD MK2 a real upgrade from MKI? and it was started by you. That's probably why this one didn't get much response. 
Upgrade PWD MKI to MKII worth the investment?
There was a thread about this recently but I can't find it for some reason. In that thread I said I thought the Mk II was a definite upgrade but not a night and day difference.A few people thought I was deaf or crazy, and I admit to being a little... 
Kevin gets the
Back to the OP's question. I doubt that Kevin threatened to pull advertising.The PrimaLuna amps have gotten great reviews from just about everyone. I don't think it odd that both magazines would review PrimaLuna's latest. I think it has been clear... 
As Falls Wichita, So Falls Wichita Falls
How important are small improvements in sound to you Mgattmch?Some people feel that music played off a server is noticeably better than the same music played from a cd, even when they ripped the file on the server from their own cd.Also, HD Tracks... 
As Falls Wichita, So Falls Wichita Falls
The 16/44.1 download is probably a rip of the cd. I don't know if HD Tracks has the ability to do it better than you could, maybe someone else does?I don't know of any other higher res download.
