I read with great interest this piece on Ry Cooder mastering with ITunes. Shock! He is not the first to use a car audio system as a final mix check before pressing. Scary, Uh?

I ran a test with JA's white noise from the Stereophile's Editors choice Disc Sampler and Test CD. I uploaded it into ITunes and then ran 1 minute of stock sound into my desktop using Cool Edit 2000 and my outboard M-Audio ADC.

Couldn't find a specific place to put this (my first) posting. Trying this catagory.

Checkout teh going price, is this the ultimate vinyl, far better than 200gram etc? http://www.dccblowout.com/dept.asp?dept_id=14-015-006

Hi. I've been looking around for ADC XLM Improved MkII stylus and the find on the net ranges from lowest $40+ to highest $120+. Both claim that the stylus is genuine. I'm sort of amazed at such a difference in price. Anyone has idea where I can get ADC genuine stylus(not generic replacement) at reasonable (not rip-off) price? Thanks.

I am by no means a stereophile, but I am pretty sure this is the place to come for this type of advice. I currently have an Integra DTR 5.5 which is feeding an old (~15 years) Sony Reciever for 5 sets up speakers in Zone 2. Note that all 5 sets of speakers are not on at the same time. The Sony is acting up so I want to replace it. I believe the best replacement is a power amp.

Roy,

Break out more Single-Malt Scotch. Forget the watches. For the MMF 5 and MMF 7 not to be put along side the Rega's, that I love by the way, means the world must have gone flat over night!
