Was just Listening to Dan Fogelberg...
I highly recommend Bill Cantos' album "Love Wins" New standards for the new millennium. Amazing voice, clean, clear, original songs with great lyrics and some well known musicians in the mix. I was and am a Fogelberg fan. This is more keyboard ori... 
Who's Your Favorite Bass Players; Why?
How about the women? (Past) Carole Kaye - did most of the Beach Boys recordings in the 60's and quite a bit of Motown, some that James Jamerson got credit for. (Current) Lynn Keller - Diana Ross, Rita Coolidge and many more. 
musical drummers...who are they ???
Jeff Poccaro (Toto and Boz Skaggs). Died way too young. Definitely had so much more ahead of him.

Liquid CD treatments?
The Auric Illuminator makes a big difference IMO. I actually had the opportunity to compare the RealityCheck copy CD vs. the Auric Illuminator CD and found the Auric to be much better, more open and natural with better detail. I've recommended it ... 
Review: Accustic Arts DAC I - MK3 DA converter
Teajay, I suspect the friend that tried the two in his system was the dealer who sold it to you so I naturally would discount that opinion. I have been speaking from my personal experience versus your opinion based on someone else's experience. It... 
Review: Accustic Arts DAC I - MK3 DA converter
I gave the AA the benefit of perhaps not enough burn-in but the dealer had run it 24/7 for several weeks before I got it and I ran it a full 4 days before even comparing the Reimyo. The transport is a Sony ES 400 CD carousel. I use Siltech G5 Gold... 
Reimyo DAP 777 Mk 1 or Mk 2 deep bass ability
I just conducted a back to back comparison of the Reimyo DAP 777 MK2 to the Accustic Arts. I felt the bass was comparable in both DACS but the midrange and highs were much better in the Reimyo. IMO the Reimyo does not lack for bass depth, weight o... 
Review: Accustic Arts DAC I - MK3 DA converter
I was able to audition the Accustic Arts DAC from a dealer. It was broken in when I got it but I gave it another three days of 24/7 before doing the comparison with my Reimyo DAP-777. I was impressed with the solid build quality of the AA especial... 
Review: Accustic Arts DAC I - MK3 DA converter
Tea: Did you ever try the newest Reimyo DAP-777? Your description of what you are hearing from the AA seems to be exactly the same characteristics I would use to describe the Reimyo. It would be interesting to conduct a back to back comparison. 
Which hard drive for digital music server?
Rocstor. They are fast, reliable and MAC compatible which is why you see them being used in many of the recording studios. 
Reimyo CDP vs EMM Labs/Meitner
I've bought numerous hybrid SACD's to use on my Reimyo. To me it's all about the quality of the recording because some SACD's sound absoluting amazing (Matt Haimovitz:Please Welcome.../Jeremy Monteiro Trio:A Song For You Karen/ Colin Linden:Big Mo... 
Reimyo CDP vs EMM Labs/Meitner
I have listened to the EMM in numerous systems including one session for several hours. I own the Reimyo and was really pleased to come home and play it after the several hours spent with the EMM. I haven't compared them back to back but my feelin... 
Amp for Talon Raven C
If don't want the heat the Parasound's generate, definitely go with the Sim Audio W5. I was using the W-10's with the Firebirds and it sounded very,very good. 
UPS strikes again
Everytime I call UPS because of a delay they say a train broke down, no matter where it's coming from or going to, despite the time of year or weather conditions. Isn't it funny how my delivery via FedEx from the midwest is right on time during th...
