Thanks for the analysis wualta. I think I just need to live with them in modded form a bit longer, or try a different amp. Stock I felt it does have the right amount, but a bit undetailed and "dynamic"-ish. Faust do you think you'll make the NY meet? I'll know for sure this afternoon. I'll bring the HP-1 if I do.

Nice scan

Queen - A Night at the Opera (DCC Gold cd)

That's my experience with second hand shops in Europe as well. Used discs for 8-15 Euro

Black Sabbath - Paranoid (Japan PD33-353 first pressing CD)

Bobby Timmons - This Here is Bobby Timmons (XRCD)

Usually grave robber auction lots. You would be surprised the number of people that want to be buried with their music collection.

They are to aardvark Blackmore: I usually only pick up 10-20 new releases in a year so I don't even bother going into mega-mall type record stores. I also make judicious use of internet sampling before buying vinyl or CDs.

Led Zeppelin - untitled (Japan 20P2 first issue) continuing the "Levee" theme

Yup full agreement with you here. Which is why I'm surprised most of the reports I've read (including wualta's roundup) said they need modding.

Nope I don't think I had a spinning device at the time

Bob Dylan - Modern Times I haven't heard this one in a long time

I added the two thinner discs of felt that swt61 included. To use markl's language I lost some "bass juice" but the transient response did improve. I'm not sure if I prefer this change or not, perhaps with a more powerful amp I'd like this combination more. I'm just comparing them to my SR-007 mk1 now, and the Stax have more bass quantity and depth and still beat them out in detail.

Is your Bidat stock or modded? There is one sitting on the Gon for a few days now that has been tempting me on and off. With transport too, they usually sell very quickly at that price for the DAC alone.

No offense Icarium, I read that statement and wondered if it was a Headfi post

Black Sabbath - self titled (Japan PD33-353 first pressing CD)

You can officially bitch and whine when the beta is finished. Until then this is the new thread. Anyone has a problem, take it up with JBLoudG20

New thread. Jackie McLean - Action

I listen to terrible music so it's easy for me.

Cool I am reading up on T20v2 modding. I don't expect SR-007 killers, just something that sounds good.

I have been using [ame=http://stevehoffman.tv/forums/showthread.php?t=160302]this thread[/ame] as a reference and I've found some great bands. Any recommendations from people here? Essential listening (in my opinion) Faust Can Amon D

Personally I think subwoofers are best left in home theater surround setups, but that's just the opinion of a 2.0 purist

That's what makes House the man Also..it's not lupus

They still have more $10000+ speakers to test don't they? I'd like to see how the 20.1 does as well.

I didn't meant to start a flame war by posting this. And like Torpedo I wouldn't take too much away from this given the limited music used (no jazz? ).
