Hi

Its tax time and like a lot of people this is the money I use for my toy purchases.

I got this email from Paste Magazine for a free mp3 download of the latest album by the group The Damnwells. I'm listening to it as I type and I must say that the album is pretty damn good and well worth downloading.

Here's the link:

Here's the text of the Paste email:

Awesome!

With apologies to Sony.

Greetings, I have come across this Master Articles List in my audio travels on the Web. Is there a way to get at these articles ? It would be good to know .Thanks Dan

I'm in the market for a new cd player and welcome your suggestions. Looking for a single-disc player under $300.

Thank you.

Is there a way to record SACD to a computer at 96kHz and 24 bits?
(To later play with ITunes and a DAC)

I recently got a used Exposure Super XV integrated amp. It would not turn on, so I had it repaired at a stereo repair shop. It turns on now and plays music, but immediately after powering on, even without music playing, it emits through the speakers a horribly loud, constant buzzing/humming sound. Loud enough that it actually hurts my ears (i.e. not a slight background noise). I tried moving around the cables some; making sure the power cord does not touch the speaker wires, but it had no effect.

Any thoughts? Perhaps the amp is still broken or they did not fix something?
