<I>Stereophile</I> has released its 2009 "Products of the Year" (<A HREF="http://www.stereophile.com/features/istereophileis_products_of_2009/">a… to the website last week</A>). The reviewers and editors have made their choices, so what is yours?
Has anyone tried cPlay which is being touted as a sort of "audiophile media player"? If so, what did you think of it? Seems extremely spartan to me.
Sorry for the cross-post - there's a thread under General R n R about Rhino offering lossless downloads and I have mentioned this there, but I didn't want any jazzbo to miss the news.
If this is inappropriate mods, please delete.
The generally expensive Rhino lossless downloads have one great bargain - Duke Ellington's 1960s Reprise recordings are available for $60. This *was* a Mosaic set, now OOP and going for reasonably big money on ebay.
Hi all. This is my first post on this forum and hope some of you can clarify a few things.
First, the context. I presently have a Musical Fidelity A3 amplifier, a A3 CD reader, Kestrel speakers from the now defunct Meadowlark Audio Co., and a Grado 325 headset. This system cost me around 5000$ seven years ago.
I am now thinking of uploading my CD collection (about 250) on my computer alongside my purchased music from iTunes. I have a Nano iPod.
Has anybody else dipped into the Chess reissues of the last year or two?
I never thought the label was well-served by prior reissues, excluding the Chess boxes. But the newer collections - like three volumes of Bo Diddley and the indescribably good Little Walter set (where has this music been all my life?)are first rate.
I can never remember what gets issued year to year, so I'll defer on my best of list for now.
Yours?
Oh, I do like the Avett Brothers new one.
