New modern / rock / alternative music on SACD
I think I am in the same boat as you, I was contemplating the purchase of a SACD dvd player or changer (the little cheap one) but I went to tower records and saw about 3 sacds that I would buy, Alice in Chains, Desmond Dekker and the Sex Pistols. ... 
Starting out. - need your counsel
As long as the receivers have 5.1 out (most modern mid-priced receivers do) then they should work fine. You can also try ac4l.com for refurbished marantz products at pretty good prices.Patrick 
Starting out. - need your counsel
Another good source for inexpensive Dolby Digital would be to use a receiver as your source. Most of these have 5.1 channel pass-throughs that remain unprocessed in the digital domain. I would recommend you look at the Outlaw Audio 1050 receiver. ... 
Songs that you just have to sing

How do you get the "real" feel of music?
I would have to agree with Bob, I have klipsch KG4 ($225 horn, 2 8" mids and 12" radiator) series speakers with MIT cabling and the first thing I do when I come home is turn on the stereo and it stays on till I go to sleep, on weekends all weekend...

John, Do you use any of the advanced options in nero? Such as 48k, jitter correction, remove silence, or digital audio extraction? Do you enable auto-protect in norton or disable it when burning? Which asapi version are you using, is your scsi con...

Calibrating monitor
As a general rule with any non self calibrating monitor, you should start with your contrast at 100%, and then take the brightness down to where you like it. Color should have presets like 5000, 6500, or 9000. The lower the number the warmer your ... 
NAD T761 or Denon AVR 3802 ?
You should look at the outlaw 1050. It is a very good choice for music only listening. Add a quality 2 or 3 channel amp and you are set. Much less expensive than the 3802.Patrick 
Sennheiser HD570 Anyone have em? any comments?
It is my understanding that the different models have the driver at different depths or different components. Mine use the same drivers as the 580 but are set further back causing the mids to be not as pronounced. I would have to say that the senn... 
Sennheiser HD570 Anyone have em? any comments?
I own the sennheiser 575's, but listened to my brothers Grado 80's and wished that I had bought those instead. They sounded much better to me with the music that I listen too. I like rock and electronica, the 570's are billed by sennheiser as "cla...

I have been having the same problem. From my experience ATT has added a new relay blocking system/spam filter (they got hacked by leaving a mail server open) and were blocked and are doing this to fix it) or they have something configured wrong. T... 
Aopen AX4B-533Tube Motherboard monoblock?
Saw the same thing on slashdot, now only if I could get rid of my dual p3 w/santa cruz sound card. Would seem like a nice board paired with some swans or klipsch pro-mediaPatrick
