Anyone else have difficulty explaining why purchasing $700 set of Jamo speakers is necessary to their wife? I'm turning 40 this year and I've learned that a woman is, well, sometimes hard to live with and understand. Sometimes I don't want to explain why I want to buy this or buy that especially when I'm educated and work in the hearing industry. Sound and speakers are what I do, manipulating DSP algorithms to enhance sound is what I do, having that discrimative ear is who I am. Wanting to sit in the "sweet spot" is what I need....

Allow me to share a bit of info on a clever little gadget: The Nano-Pad.

It may be rinsed with water and used and reused again and again. Sticks to a lot of surfaces. Look at the Youtube video to see how it's used on the dashboard to hold sunglasses and a cell phone in place.

Has anyone seen reviews on (or heard) the Marantz SA-15S2?

I was wondering how it compares sonically to the "old" SA-15S1 and the SA-11S2.

I have an SA-8001 that I really like but the upgrade bug is buzzing around my head.

Thanks!

I posted earlier about which headphones to buy and which usb dac to get, right now I am just thinking of getting the CEntrance DACport and some headphones. Right now I listen through Bose Triport Headphones. I was deciding between Sennheiser HD600 / HD650 or the AKG K701/K702. My question is which headphones are better for Rock music.

Does anyone know any good reviews on the CEntrance DACport, too bad Stereophile.com didn't do a review.

I have ripped the tracks from the Eagles DVD-V "Hell freezes over", as 24/48 wav's, and was looking for a program to use in burning the tracks to a DVD-A.

Jim Tavegia says he uses Audio DVD Creator, but I have read in some forum that this program makes DVD-V's instead of DVD-A's.

No matter how I try to burn these tracks, I can't play them on my CD/DVD player. The computer plays them though. What am I doing wrong?

Any suggestions would be highly appreciated, as I would like to learn more about this. Thx

Cultural Cognition of Scientific Consensus http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1549444#

Perhaps of interest in the context of our past discussion of anthropogenic global warming.

As I have observed, whether people accept AGW is often a issue of their pre-existing world view and political beliefs. I find this odd and frankly disturbing.

On February 7, 2010 the Cultural Cognition Project at Yale released a research paper on exactly this subject.

As I am so priviledged to have a CDP that also plays DVD-Audio, I just started spinning the fabulous Eagles DVD "Hell freezes over". My goodness what a great sound! I have never heard drums sound like this from my system. Why I never thought of doing that before I don't know. I have only watched it in my el-cheapo DVD player connected to the TV. Of course it's not bad to have the footage too, but the sound is 1000% better on my system.

I gotta do this more often
