I wish harbeth had a higher sensitivity offering.

Shazam! i guess the only thing separating this from the living stereo sacd series is the fact that its Analogue Productions? Its still "rca victor red seal', and its still 'living stereo'. I dont get it. In any case, its amazing.

I've tried to lure them into audio so many times. My mom has like 2 carpenters CDs and some horrible christmas muzak. I must be adopted.

One day of work from an electrician. Fridge and microwave are now on new circuits. Apparently it was quite dangerous before, if I am to believe him. Which I probably do, just based off what I've seen already. Its nice having retired parents who can be here while I'm at work, so I'll probably need to buy them a nice dinner as well to say thanks.

Well...I could give you a hard drive with lots of ones and zeros, which would also drastically effect the sound of your KGSS. And maybe some sealed hoffman music that will escalate in value over time.

You'd gain bass from doing me a solid and selling the BHSE to me for a drastically reduced price.

I just get both. From what little I've cared to read on the matter, some suggest that people thought Hoffman wasn't the right man for the job, as some of the AP sacds have a bit of haze or noise or whatever. Its a moot point, since every recording is different, and he's big on not altering the master tapes in anyway, whereas others may use noise reduction, or other things. The SH forum is the biggest bunch of goddamn pussies I've ever seen. They bitch if the barcode isnt in the proper place. Its fucking MUSIC. Thats why SACD isnt doing better than it is, these idiots cry foul when the ink toner isnt quite right. Just the stupidest, petty bullshit. You'd think people with $15,000 speakers wouldn't have a problem with $30 cds, but you'd be wrong

XRCD is serious business

The Living Stereos I just bought at Amazon. My boss gave me a $30 amazon gift card w/ her christmas card, so I bought about $60 worth for $30. The Esoterics and Wagner I bought at Elusive Disc. They have a 10% off sale that expires on the 4th. It was actually supposed to expire on December 31st but apparently they extended it. I saved like $80 on the wagner that way:D The Living Stereo stuff, for the most part is still affordable, but I saw a thread on SH forums that mentioned they are going OOP, so that is about to change. There are one or two titles that, on amazon, are only available used, and they are pricey. They are opera titles afaik.

Some of the last remaining Living Stereo SACDs I dont have, some Esoteric SACDs and some Wagner SACDs. My 2010 New Years Resolution is to branch out into classical a bit more. Just some of the more prominent audiophile choices for now.

Welcome to jazz

oh yeah

I can't see how these would fit on my desktop. Try as I might, I just can't see it.

I figure some of it could just be some sort of time delay. I dont know how that works but I assume they could do it with an analog signal somehow. (but really i have no idea)

it sounds dumb

Thats some slick stuff. A little over my head, but slick. It sounds like some of their amps have their own built in dacs.

I dont like what people are calling the last decade (aughts), and the lack of consensus about what to call the next one.
