Welcome Doug. You've found a great site. You've been hooked like the rest of us.

Welcome Mark. You have found a great group of people here with a whelm of knowledge. I dare use the word intelligence.

Not In. If I'm home I usually set the system up to fire the canons on Tchatowski's 1812.

Disc 2 Most of the tracks had specifics each person that submitted them listened for and was suited to their taste (just my opinion) and I could tell were favorites. That's exactly what we all use when shopping for speakers especially. I had the luxury of not being biased since I had not heard a single track (on disc 2) or know who the artist was. A few tracks did really catch my ear. Track 6 Ouverture, by Robin Vassy (Submitted by Weitrhino) really caught my attention and is more of something I would use as a test track. I may look for this album. Track 10 Powaqqatsi, by Philip Glass (Submitted by dcl) also grabbed me with the deep bass and chorus vocals with the percussions. Track 11 Walking On Sacred Ground, by Janis Ian (Submitted by Daddyjt) sounded exactly like it was described in the notes. Well put together. Track 12 The Children’s Crusade, by Sting (Submitted by Daddyjt) reminded me of listening to Flim and the BB's back in the day. Very tasteful. Tracks 13 - 17 Slow Freq Sweeps: I listened to each track and got no rattles even on the deepest beginnings of each. I'm not sure if it is my hearing or system limits but I could hear anything beyond the 1:01 mark on each track. What did others notice or hear on the sweeps?

Both disc are correct in my set. I just finished listening to the first disc. I could pick out the things everyone said to listen for in the track notes. Maybe it's me but I thought all the tracks were pretty easy for the system to handle. What really amazed me though is how flat and unenhanced each track was, which is a good thing. Everything sounded so natural. It is nice to hear a true bass guitar and the strings on a regular one. The vocals and background instruments were as if I was in the studio with them. I also listened to see if I could pick up the noise floor during the quieter passages of each track and I couldn't. The sound engineers did an excellent job recording each track. I normally use more lively tracks to test systems as they will show you if things get muddled together or if you can still pick out each instrument and sound without being overbearing, harsh or too soft. However, it was nice not to hear the natural instruments instead of electronic creations from keyboards (which I also enjoy). On to listening to disc two......

I just checked the mailbox and I received mine today too. Thanks a lot Mark. I still need to know how to donate to the site. I know most of the tracks I haven't heard but it will be a pleasurable journey exploring/listening to them. Awesome job!!!

Welcome to both of you. As said before, there's a wealth of knowledge here and the willingness to share is awesome.

Bose 901 VI. I had the right space and room for them. They were spacious and clean once I matched them up with Carver M 1.5t. My only issue with them were they demanded enormous power to really bring the bass out loud and strong.

There is actually a big difference between the III and VI EQ's. I had both back in the day.

Brian my best friend has a set of 901 VI's he wants to sell. Hit me up with a PM with an offer and I will let him know. They are in good shape. Black cabinets. I had 901 VI's for years.

I usually put about 10 or more different tracks/artists on a CD-R (never use mp3 files to demo or test gear) whenever I go looking for new gear (especially speakers).

If anyone is looking for something out of print check my list. If I have it let me know. http://connect.collectorz.com/users/maddmaster/music/view

Welcome. You'll enjoy it here.

Welcome Ron

Yep, I got the top caps for the BP30's from him off eBay......not sure if he is an employee thru Def Tech or what? Weird tho, because he would have a bunch of stuff that Chet (guy I deal with @ Def Tech) didn't have any more, and Chet would have a ton of stuff that baja didn't have ? Anyways, I found that Chet was SUPER helpful and he actually gave me REALLY good prices on a lot of the stuff and gave me a few freebies as well ! They both are very helpful. Baja gets all the refurbs directly from DefTech. Some things are new. Boxes damaged during shipping get sent back to DefTech and cannot be sold as new. Baja gets those too.

I would guess most of the parts you found on ebay were from bajawaverunner. I found he has the most def tech parts from what I have found.

After doing a little surfing it looks like musicdirect.com is the best bet. Everything else I saw you have to be careful if you don't have a region free BD player. I may try one to see if there's a big difference between the DVD Audio (DTS) and SACD versions of an album I have.

Welcome Bob.

You guys have me tempted to pull all my vinyl out. I have over 400 stored away. About 98% of them have only been touched and on a turntable once. I would buy the LP, record it on reel to reel or cassette and put them away. Now I need to find a place to setup my turntable. Glad I saved myself a list of what I have in the PC.

It's still available on amazon. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_sc_1_11?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=discwasher+fluid&sprefix=disc+washer%2Caps%2C209
