Yeah I agree, mostly because it has been around a lot longer, and any given artist releases far more titles in their lifetime. I also think it's a more honest expression of one's soul. Even "underground" rap has a degree of commercialism.

Using a Sennheiser cable terminated with a 4 pin male XLR connector, the K1000 tail adapter should work correct? The K1000 adapter config (# corresponds to XLR pin number): 1 (white) L+ 2 (black) L- 3 (red) R+ 4 (blue) R-

I have Intel 2200BG wifi in my laptop and it connects instantly to my WPA2 network on start up with XP Pro. Using XP to configure the wifi instead of Intel's utility.

Lifestylez is a great album and probably my favorite rap album. I used to listen to lots of "underground" rap many years ago, but there's so much more unexplored music out there, that I haven't really kept up with rap. One of my biggest complaints was even the really good albums just had too much filler on them. I don't mean skits, because sometimes they are well done, filler as in terrible songs. Only a few perfectionists released consistent albums IMO. Some of the real underground artists from Boston and NYC (CDRs or demo tapes) still put out consistently good stuff. I do think jazz is far better and for every good rap album there are probably ten exceptional jazz albums.

Tragic RIP

Just curious what SACD player you're using?

I have the Fremer DVD and it looks like a nightmare to setup the JMW10.5 \

Credible source.

I'll be keeping my eyes on this as well.

The Museatex Bitstream is a great DAC. That said it still remains very good digital, and can't quite reach vinyl's resolution (so far only few multi thousand $ DACs/CDPs I've heard can come close to).

Post of the day

The PCI bus is shared. PCI-E is separate.

Most middle school kids did.

Judging by what we saw in the teaser preview at the start of this episode, this season is going to rock. The whole Stig is Schumacher thing was pretty lame though \

Any place to stream this or samples? I listened to his 2009 release Movements in Colour and it was some disappointing smooth jazz.

There are very few bad episodes of Seinfeld, I wouldn't say the same about MASH.

Greatest sitcom ever

Magma is a great band. I think Can is becoming my favorite kraut rock band. I never really properly listened to them when I only had the SACDs, they just didn't sound right. But the Spoon CDs sound so natural, and they really are a talented group of musicians.

mmm VT-25 and 26s...
