In a weak (Very Weak) I plopped down the $$ to buy the latest Sgt. Peppers LHCB recording. (96/24) By my calculation I've owned this music in roughly 5 versions now. (counting this latest) Vinyl, 8-Track, Original CD and I'm sure there was another format in there somewhere. Probably the...

For anyone interested who's not already seen 'em. Tone Audio Art 150 Review And over at PF the ART 300 with CJ history and interviews.

One of the best amplifiers I ever owned -back in the day- was my trusty old KSA-150. Powerful, resolving, intense and it had that razor sharp "solid state sound" that you either loved or hated on any given day depending on various things including that days particular music selection. Some of...

ya but that warm glow.. admit it, you're missing it. :)

Well, they are here and running. Only 10 or so hours on them at this point. I'm not sure if it's the KT150s as some have stated in other amplifiers, or, a combination of the power supply along with the KT150s, but these Amps have a substantially heavier low end. I noticed it after only...

So just as I was thinking about possibly replacing my old trusty MA-1 ... I received confirmation from both Meitner and my dealer that Meitner are offering an update. Since mine is so old, no doubt I'll have to send it back for the update. As I understand it.. an update for DAC2X as well...

The CJ innards thread got me looking at some old pictures..... My KSA-150 was damaged in shipment..long story, must have been 10 years ago now. I do this stuff for a living and decided to repair it myself. Pretty minor damage and the thing is built like a tank so the repair was pretty easy...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7-cpV_H_z4 Great little documentary... new album due next month. ..the "smell of tape" :) And I manged to snag 6th row center orchestra tix @ the Beacon Theater in October for the Tracker tour. :heart: ...Mark's got an Ampex ATR-100 :)

I recently met a Music Teacher who lives in Piscataway NJ. She's a wonderful woman who taught Conrad Herwig's son music in school. She became personal friends of the family. ...... Friday (November 14th) there was a benefit concert which we attended. To say I was blown away would not even...

So I'm surfing channels Friday night.. (TV that is) and I hear "Heart is a Drum" playing in the opening for Hawaii 5-O ...I stop dead and listen. I've played the latest Beck recording more than any music in recent history..not great from an "Audiophile" perspective, but the music is fantastic...

Anyone planning to attend this event coming up Sept 26-28. I've not attended many of these types of events over the years, always too busy, or when I do attend I'm in a hurry and can't seem to settle in to enjoying the event. I am planning to spend some time at this event and not be rushing...

Since installing the new firmware in my MA-1, I've once again gone down the un-fun path of experimenting with the types of driver/connection options. My basic setup is JRMC, no resampling, play from RAM, No DSD (long story, I did experiment but currently no DSD) Yet again I've gone through the...

New firmware due out around "end of May". 'don't have a clue what it's supposed to do however. :huh:

I don't intend this to be any kind of complaining about HD Tracks overall...but ever since their site upgrade, I find it extremely frustrating to use. Primary reason being that for me it's extremely slow. Page loads typically take several seconds, sometimes up to 10 seconds...and it's never...

Hmmm :cool: Dolby Vision high-dynamic-range TV tech gets a boost from Baselight | Variety
