Janelle Monae’s “Tightrope”

The word <a href="http://forum.stereophile.com/forum/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=88273&an=0… our forum</a> is that 90 percent of today’s popular music is crap. Need a little proof that real talent still exists in the world of pop music? Check out Janelle Monae’s performance on last night’s Letterman show.

Bose 301

Hi all, first post here. I've been looking for a set of speakers to warm up a kitchen/dining room that is about 12x25'. I was thinking something along the lines of a set of Bose 301's, but after looking online I see that they've fallen out of favor. I just liked the price point and the sound quality so far as I can remember the set we had when I was a kid. What else is out there in the marketplace along those lines and at/around/less-than that price point? Of course I want the best possible quality for the price.

Centrod Tonearm vs TriPlanar

Great article on the spiral groove table !!

I own a Triplanar and Lyra skala, using a Grand Prix Monaco table. So your article really hit home for me. I am extremely curious on more info on the Centroid arm, I know these are new, but given your final comment "it's not leaving my home" I take it that it's a killer arm.

When do you plan your formal review and/or can you post more comments here or send me a private note?

Thanks in advance

Anyone heard the dCS Debussy dac?

I currently have an Esoteric X-03se, but am looking to replace it with a DAC and computer source. I have a small "silent PC" with a Lynx card, and was orignally planning to connect it to an Esoteric D-07 (or possibly D-05) DAC via XLR connectors, externally clocking the Lynx card from a master clock. However, I've recently read about the new dCS Debussy dac, which looks interesting. Has anyone had the opportunity of auditioning one?

Thanks,
Daniel
