Al, still under construction? Damn, you need to give me a BIG heads up when you're done, cuz Joe and I'll be making a road trip your way. I'll bring the beer, you provide the tunes. Cheers!

Digital "Crispies" and the ART di/o
I was listening to Glenn Gould playing Bach Goldberg Variations (1981 recording - Sony Digital) the other night, through an Arcam Alpha 7 and ART di/o DAC and on track 17 I noticed this static, "crispy" noise along with the piano notes. Maybe it's the dac, I thought, so I hooked up the preamp to the analog out of the Arcam, and the crispies weren't there. Neither was the soundstage, and alot of timbral detail. My question: are the crispies digital dust in this recording that the ARCAM DAC did not reveal (I've only heard them on 2 tracks), or could they be lack of power in the ART di/o (I'm using the wall wart power supply that came with it), or maybe my new speakers (thiel 1.6) breaking in.
Thoughts?
Thanks!
