Yeah, just thought he might have mentioned getting his hands on a set in a previous issue or something.

DCC Gold v. Mobile Fidelity?
Keep in mind some DCC CDs have a gold and silver version. In this case the difference is not just in the color of the disc, but the gold versions using SH's tube mastering system, where as the silver is mastered with solid state equipment. The silver versions can be found for pretty cheap usually and are a great value.

DCC Gold v. Mobile Fidelity?
$110 for both. Second highest was $90 for a single DCC disc. I could sell it for double that.

DCC Gold v. Mobile Fidelity?
I disagree. The recording is the very first part of the source. Even before your CD player or DAC. In my opinion there's no point in having a high end system without having good recordings (and good music obviously). That said $110 was the highest I've paid and it was for two rare DCC discs. One of them regularly sells for $200+ in the condition it is in. A close friend has paid $500 for a classic rock LP that he enjoys on a regular basis. Given his system is something like $80k, I don't think that's really rediculous for a piece of music he loves

DCC Gold v. Mobile Fidelity?
In my opinion the DCC version of everything I have listened to has been a definitive version. This is mostly CDs, but the few DCC LPs I've heard have been outstanding as well. The dynamics and vocals on Hoffman's works are simply outstanding. MFSL is mostly hit or miss, as they use some "interesting" EQ choices. But sometimes their releases can just be fun to listen to in a strictly non-audiophile sense. If I can get a better than average deal on a DCC title I usually take it (even if it is expensive) since they only continue to appreciate. And a lot of people are dumping their titles with the way the economy is. I have a bunch of duplicates I need to list for sale.

Do you have a workout routine?
I run about 3/4 mile to a mile every morning. And then lift three days a week. Keeps me sane more than anything.

Moved all the off topic discussion here since I know people wanted to keep this specifically about SinglePower.

I don't know how I lived without mine for so long It did take me a few hours to sort out my hodgepodge of a music directory, but it was worth it.

Bump. I like the new user profile interface. Being able to see lists by days/months is a nice feature. I know the Web 2.0 look is a bit though

MacHeads- Impending MacBook Purchase
I'd get a Macbook as well if I were in the market for an Apple laptop. Bump up the RAM and the base model seems like a great deal.
