| SACD vs Regular CD's To my ears, some SACDs sound much better than the CD of the same music, others not so much. The quality of the original recording and what happened to it on the way to the SACD or CD have a lot to do with how different the two sound, of course. Th... | |
| Quality of laptop for use with Dac. James, have you gotten new speakers? What did you buy and how do they sound? | |
| What's Up with Magnapan at Shows? I assume the speaker-behind-the-curtain is the old trick to suprise you that the less expensive speaker behind the curtain is playing, not the more expensive one that you can see and think is playing. If that is not clear, I don't know why the Mag... | |

I don't know how many years they are good for, but I suggest you fin... | |
| Conrad Johnson Premier 140 6922 tube swapping Agathe79, This is starting to spin out of control. Your original problem was a noisy 6922. If you are happy with the sound of your amp except for the noise, get a new 6922 and see if that takes care of your problems.If you can talk to the person y... | |

| A most welcome article Siddh, Yes that is good news. I'm with Bifwynne, I wish they would get the high-res download situation straightened out. I also have plenty to listen to in the meantime. | |
| Is the CD and DVD/Bluray going away? Mlsstl,Yes, you're right that there is a difference between what is being counted and that's why the numbers are different. Nielsen is the only organization I'm aware of that counts total record sales and I'm sure they use estimates in their count... | |
| Is the CD and DVD/Bluray going away? Mlsstl, Nielsen releases their numbers within the first few days of the new year. The RIAA releases numbers for product shipped in a few weeks. In the past the two sets of numbers have been fairly close. | |
