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...

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...

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.

Mach2Music modified Mac Mini
I don't know if anyone works on Mach2Music servers, but if your hard drive crashed you can try to find someone who does computer repair and see if they can recover the data on the crashed hard drive and transfer it to a new hard drive. 
Best Rock Song Of ALL TIME?
"Like A Rolling Stone" has to be considered. 
Bobby Bare
Thanks Richard, I'll check it out. 
Marantz SA-15S2b, thoughts & opinions
"Question of Balance" by the Moody Blues is a really good sounding SACD. Shelby Lynne's "Just a Little Lovin'" is too if very laid back covers of Dusty Springfield songs might interest you. The Dave Brubeck you got is a good one.Give me some time,... 
Bobby Bare
Thanks for the recommendation. Bare has made a lot of great music, I'm partial to his Drunk & Crazy period from the early 80s, really funny stuff and good country rock to boot. I thought his last album showed his voice to be on the decline and... 
Doug MacLeod – "There’s a Time"
Thanks for the recommendations. I was planning on getting this when RR puts it out in a high-res version. Any opinions on that? 
Marantz SA-15S2b, thoughts & opinions
Congratulations NoNoise! I hope you enjoy the Marantz. I think you will. Let us know in any case.I'm a disc spinner myself. I like having something physical to keep and I like to have the art and liner notes, even if I need a magnifying glass to r... 
Marantz SA-15S2b, thoughts & opinions
