    it's late.. but I am in the mood for some music on the stereo rig.. so this is what I choose tonight.

    Fitz And the Tantrums - Pickin' UP The Pieces. not sure why i like this CD other than it is really fresh from a lot of other music out there.

    I picked up Bachman Turner Overdrive (Not Fragile) on vinyl this weekend at the Berlin farmer's market in New Jersey! I think it is my new favorite! The Bass player is fantastic!
    Enjoying the journey while never attaining the destination.

    Does music sound better with the lights out? There's less to distract you and hence a better connect with the music. I curious if thats just me, or does it work that way for everyone?

    I saw BTO at Six Flags years back.
    Naturally it cost money to see the concert.
    Funny thing was, there was what seemed like 25 people "inside" the concert, and 1500 people standing outside the "open air" venue getting it for free!:cheesygrin:
    I was in the "free" crowd.:razz:

    They sounded excellent however.

    <center>Diana Krall: From This Moment On<br><br>

    Stole you picture Rick! Sorry but it was convenient.

    Hey. I am looking at changing my CD player out. Should I go with a Oppo so I can play SACD? What difference would I hear with SACD? My gut feeling tells me that the "hiss" between the silent periods would be gone. What else?

    Prairie Wind is one of my favorites by Niel Young! Great album!!

    Also, have you heard the new McCartney with Diana Krall and her band? I am interested in your thoughts if you have.

    Taken from a recent Audioholics reply regarding "Club Polk" and Polk speakers:
    "I'm yet to hear a Polk speaker that merits more than a sentence and 60 seconds discussion." :\
    My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....

    Thanks for the advice Rick. I was hoping that you would say that SACD took care of the white noise in the recording also. O well, I will think about it awhile. There are a few other things that I should buy before I make a SACD player purchase.

    Note that Sal has lowered the price on the Denon to $125 plus shipping, that's a great deal and I can't believe nobody has snatched it up yet...
