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

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

Thanks. That is the one format I never tried and missed that one totally. I find the DTS Audio disc are great. However, they run the Bass on the "HOT" side. It is deep and full sounding, while the SACD only shines in that area if you are pretty much running full size speakers all the way around the room.

I'm with Dennis on this one. That was so long ago I have to guess but I think it was: 45: Smokey Robinson and The Miracles "Come Spy with Me" LP: The Temptations "Psychedelic Shack" 8 Track: War "All Day Music" CD: Stevie Wonder - In Square Circle

I have a question while on this subject. I have several SACD's. When you refer to HDCD are you refering to DVD-Audio disc or something totally different. The reason I ask is I do have several DVD- Audio disc that are mostly DTS encoded.

Got my vote
