What is new with the Memory Player?
As of 2005 Accustic Arts of Germany claimed the first 32bit/384khz oversampling DAC and they now are claiming 66 bit technology.So what is all the fuss over bit count- it's the sound stupid. I don't sell Memory Players- but the MP with DAC is the ... 
Best female vocals on CD
Patty Larkin is extraordinary on CD. Add to Bobgates list the live "A GoGo". She is an even better live performer.Bobgates-I am glad to see that she is appreciated by an apparent fellow traveler. 
Is the EMM DAC6e or DCC2 /CDSD the best out there?
I agree with Mgottlieb. Having owned the earlier dCS combo and then the Verdi/Purcell/Elgar + , I found CD on my Forsell MK IV transport was substantially better sounding with the dCS gear than the Verdi. Of course, the Forsell is idiosyncratic as...

Reactions to HP's review of Antique Sound Lab amp?
Hurricanes are rated at 100 WPC in Triode and 200 WPC in Ultra Linear. They appear to be more powerful than the conservative ratings. 
Antique Sound Lab....Triode????

Reactions to HP's review of Antique Sound Lab amp?
There is a triode switch on ALL the new ASL Hurricanes we have in stock. Biasing is easy and new Valve Art KT 88 seem to be very reliable. 
Reactions to HP's review of Antique Sound Lab amp?
I think Cwlondon is on to something - HP must own a part of all the companies that receive rave reviews. I just don't understand why he picks stock in such small companies rather than some of the very few Hi-End companies with substantial value li... 
ACCUPHASE DP85
Hey Bad-Lest I be criticized for heaping praise on a product - check out the current issue of the Absolute Sound #135-page 41 for Jon Valin's comments on the Rockport/Tenor system with the Capitole front end (pictured on the stand).Much of the cre... 
ACCUPHASE DP85
As a dealer I concur that it is important to disclose that status in posts to discussion groups.However, I cannot accept the implication that a dealer's advice should be rejected or deemed unworthy because the dealer may have a financial interest ...
