Audiophile rEvolution*

Well its been a while, months, since I last posted. sorry if this runs on, its kinda not well thought out.

I have a little mid-fi or low-fi or somewhere fi system depending on who you talk too.

I bought a Behringer DEQ2496, its not perfect but what component is?

to my ears it is

1)equal or better then the cambridge azur 340c when used as a dac with my pioneer DVD player. In every way i can think of. when the DEQ is off

2)the future of all things budget

If you want a overview of my system circa last year check out the Gallery.

What Else?

What Else?

I would like to be at home right now, sitting on the orange couch, listening to the hi-fi. Because Bill Callahan has been on my mind, I think I would choose to listen to Smog's <i>A River Ain't Too Much To Love</i>, an album that soothes me, that makes me feel good.

Woke On A Whaleheart

Ah. Smog's A River Ain't Too Much To Love is one of my very favorite albums, and certainly an album that meets my still-developing hi-fi requirements. It sounds great. I fell in love with it right around the time I was discovering hi-fi at home, which makes it, for me, extra-special.

So, I am anxiously awaiting Woke On A Whaleheart, Bill Callahan's first album released under his own name, and his first complete work since A River.

Monitor Audio or ProAc?

Forums

I am currently looking into purchasing a pair of floorstanding speakers. I have been looking into associaed reviews, which are indicating that ProAc Studio 140 are a great product.
Sure but what about MOnitor Audio RS 8 or RS 6?
I have seen some of the forum comments about the Monitor Audio RS6 & RS8 and they too seem well respected.

Naturally the associated costs are quite a bit different.
Though I would love to have a acoustically treated listening environment, that's not to be... at the moment. More a typical living room.

Ed Hitchcock writes: "As both a paleontologist and home brewer, I could not help but be attracted by the media coverage of the reproduction of an ancient Sumarian beer. The beer, called Ninkasi after the Sumarian goddess of beer, was produced by the Anchor Brewing Company (San Francisco, California), based on a hymn inscribed on a clay tablet (1). Dr. Solomon Katz of the University of Pennsylvania and Fritz Maytag of Anchor Brewing worked to decipher the brewing clues contained within the hymn to reproduce the beverage so revered by the ancient Sumarians."

Pointing at the garden tool, the store guy says, Oh, that's a HOE...the little kid looks puzzled...Responds, that ain't no Hoe, my sister's a hoe and she don't look nutin' like that! I said a bad thing? Imus, should be fired for no ratings and stroke victim speech pattern, and generally unlistenable. Jackie the Jokeman siad it first years ago.
