Yeah, the forum looks great. @AndrewJohn if you want to auction the C-9, that is fine with me. I can go ahead and send it to you for appraisal, or wait and send it to the buyer; it's entirely up to you. It is a nice-looking unit - nearly spotless. I don't know whether Rich did any internal mods. If he did, he never mentioned it.

Thanks for all the greetings. And nice to see an old familiar face @Balok but a little disconcerting to see so many of our old chums in audio heaven 🤒

Not new, but I've been away for a long time. I have a C-9 that Rich gave to me many years ago, but I'm not using it anymore. I'd be happy to donate it back to the forum, if you have any use for it.

Thanks, Rich! Thanks, Martin! Thanks, Mark! Thanks to you all! I'm looking forward to hearing this.

Anyone else having trouble downloading track 17? Rich, I think there might be an error in the URL.

This collection still blows me away every time I play it. Some of the newer guys might want to check it out. Nice work, Mark.

Found these while helping my mom move out of the house I grew up in a few years back. I'd never seen or heard them before. It seems dad gave up on me at an early age.

My collection is pretty mainstream, except my pursuit of Harry covers has led me to some unusual records. This is one of my favorites - Delightfully awful record! This one is not so uncommon, really. I saw a few copies while shopping this week. But it’s a bizarre record. This one is kind of cool when you're in the right mood.

Love it, Rod. Keep 'em coming.

Okay, thanks Bill. I'm always curious to give these kinds of things a listen. But at this price I think I'm going to pass.

Bill, it says This DTS DVD features 4 channels of 24-bit, 96 kHz audio (down scalable to 24-bit, 48 kHz). Does this imply that it's not compressed? Some of the review comments I read suggest that it is definitely compressed. Is there any way to know for sure?

I noticed that Rhino Handmade has started releasing what they call Quadio DVDs, reissues of some of those quadraphonic LP mixes from the 70s. The first Chicago album came out earlier this year. The Best of Aretha Franklin will be out soon. http://www.rhino.com/article/what-quad It says DTS DVD, so apparently they’re not high resolution. They’re just lossy DVD-videos...with no video. It seems like these would have been better suited to DVD-A or SACD. The $30 price tag seems awfully steep too, for what you’re getting.
