    It's about 12" here - my town had already cancelled the school for tomorrow at 6pm.

    Of course, the best part is I get to drive all the way to Andover for work. Joy.

    About 80 deg. in So. Calif. today, have the fan going right now,

    and it's 5:30 and getting dark. ;D

    Thanks for the info, although this not what I wanted to hear :(

    I seriously kicked around the thought of subscribing to the new Blue Note series, I decided against it. I''m going to wait for individual reviews and select some purchases wisely. Sad to hear about the quality of the Dolphy release, would definitely like to see some fine remastered vinyl of his released. ;D

    Well I decided to preorder Big Beat from this batch. I'll judge from that whether it's worth investing in any others.

    I'm a sucker for the sonics of Blakey's drumming though. The MFSL of Tunisia... WOW. :dance:

    Very interested in hearing your impressions on this Hoffman series.

    Let us know what you think when you get a chance to listen to this initial release. I'd like to have some of these myself, actually I'd like to have the whole series of 63 albums. ;D

    As a final point, if LP's are great because they are analogue, then why aren't cassettes just as good? They are analogue, but of course their resolution is way lower than an LP, which is already technically way lower than high bit rate digital.

    Cassettes are just as good or better if you dub with a good deck,

    specifically Nakamichi cassette decks!!!!

    That being said, I have a Technics Turntable and a Nak cassette deck. Most of my listening now is with a Rega Apollo CD player thru a

    SinglePower EXTREME and HD-650 headphones. I'm just getting lazy I guess, It's a lot of work flipping records ::)

  24. $2,000 Arcam or $200 Oppo + NAD M5 impressions

    Buying an Oppo player would allow me to crawl away with my wallet intact, whereas these other players are at least several months worth of investment. However, the Arcam FMJ CD36 would always seem like the one that got away. The other thing that makes the decision difficult is SACD playback - it is something that I really want (I have about 20 Hybrid SACDs so far), but only if the performance truly exceeds Redbook by a noticeable margin. Reports on the differences between the 2 formats are conflicting, and my own listening has been inconclusive so far. Ditto with HDCD, if possible.

    I bought an OPPO DV-970 just for audio playback. I talked to a rep at OPPO and this is the model they recommended at the time for my needs. I use it only for SACD, HDCD and DVD-A

    I'm happy with it, had it for about a year now. ;D
