Digital as good or better than YOUR analog?
Oh, you PC users...when will you ever see the light! On a Mac...ahem, ahem...(option n + n) will give you the "ñ". The letter that follows "n" in the Spanish alphabet. (So we have less software available and (maybe) can't compute "Pi" to the biill... 
Best drink while listening to your rig?
I must confess that I have thought of a hemlock daquiri after hearing the sound my system makes with some classical CDs.Ordinarily I prefer water or a great small-brewery beer so I can take a bathroom break when I change sides on the LP. (At my ag... 
Jazz Big Band Recommendations?
Nighthawk,Happy to know you appreciate Rich. He wasn't only a great drummer he had an uncanny ability to choose personel that emulated his "full-steam-ahead" style. I have found that many big bands have great soloists but not that succesful ensemb... 
Jazz Big Band Recommendations?
Nighthawk,Although hardly unknown, I have to put my 2-cents in for The Buddy Rich Big Band (its many permutations of personel, notwithstanding). They left us with a wealth of material that is seeing daylight on CDs.I could type away with the many ... 
Would you pay to rent my media/video room
Hey Kelton,My 18-year-old son is on his way with 5 of his buddies. Nice kids, all. Really.I'll pay until he's 21 and gets a job, then he can come back home. I recommend earplugs, frozen pizza, and a good insurance agent.(You do accept credit cards...

RIP Cornelius Bumpus
4yanx, sorry to learn about "any" musician passing.I was not aware of Mr. Bumpus or his artistry before and wonder if you could suggest releases where he is spotlighted so I can become acquainted with his work.Thank you. 
To leave on or not to leave on, that is the ?
Folks, you are the best!Thanks all of you for your input, it tends to reflect my own about SS equipment. But you all know that paranoia (healthy, of course) is part of the emotional baggage for this hobby.Again, many thanks and best wishes. 
Pure Note Cerulean
Sonic_g,Are you also using the PNs between your VPI and Sutherland? (RCAs, I would guess.)What have you found to be the biggest difference between the Epsilons and Ceruleans in general?I have all Epsilon 4s in my system except speaker wire, VPI-to... 
What is the right cable for B & W 802's?
I have B&W 802s in a two-channel setup and I placed the mono amps (Bryston 7 BSSTs) right next to the speakers and use a short amp-to-speaker wire. My long run (8 meters using Pure Note Epsilon V.4 XLRs) is from pre-amp-to-amp.In reading throu... 
XLR's using Canare L-4E6S between Bryston amp/proc
Dwight,I recommend you research a little further this cable buy.I guess what I am trying to say (hopefully without offense to anyone) is that I started there then heard others (I have mentioned some brands in previous posts, won't do it here) and ...

What detergent to clean Zerodust.
Elizabeth, dearest, after reading your "ionic chemical grabbers," this poor ol' musician nearly had a coronary. I was afraid I would have released a chemical virus to end mankind! :>)Bless you for pointing me in the right direction before I tot...
