Over the weekend I rearranged my former home office into a den. Part of the job was to hook up a good old fashioned two channel system. My Bay Audio towers out from storage (which I hand built 10+ years ago when I worked for Bay,) an Integra DTR 7.8 (in direct mode of course) and a DPS 6.4 single slot dvd to play one CD at a time.

Now I recall how much I love sitting down, popping in a CD and listening to nine or ten tracks of sonic goodness.

So, what did I listen to today? A couple of tracks from:

George Benson
Basia
Dire Straits
Cowboy Junkies
and I hate to admit, Lionel Richie's "All Night Long"

Now I remember why I got into this silly business in the first place....

What did you listen to today????

Backstreet boys and some BRITNEY SPEARS, on some quality 128Kbps MP3s...

:-)

No, not really.

Stop putting ideas in my head of stuff I love to do, but don't have time for...

You and Stamp have too much time

Tech Notes

SHNs were decoded to wave and SF 6.0 was used to reassemble
the tracks back to 1 long wave. CEP2.0 was used to align &
synch the SBD & both AUD sources. CEP2.0 used to adjust the
volume for both AUDs, matrix/CTR and LFE channels. Surcode
CD Pro DTS was used to encode to DTS. The center matrix track
is a 60% SBD, 40% AUD2 mix.

I have a somewhat decent system in my office, nothing spectacular.

a pair of Polk Audio RTI A3's
Polk PSW10 Sub
Onkyo AVR.


I love listening to
Kenny G, Eagles, Rod stewart and Bon Jovi.

New Album from Gov't Mule - By a Thread

lou rawls.... now back to glenn beck

Nice. Looking forward to Mule tour now that Allman's tour is done. Warren Haynes is my hero.

Taking the lady to see Regina Spektor next week so giving the new album 'Far' a listen....

Chicago's finest rock.......

I'm a Loyola Alum, listen to XRT all the time on the web.... WDRV and Will Rock are also favorites.

Funny story, years ago my car was stolen (here in San Diego.) Tons of stuff inside lost, the worst? the XRT sticker in the back window. My girlfriend at the time called them up and had them send me a new sticker for my new car.

Jack Johnson, Ben Harper, Dave Matthews and I did a system demo with an SACD of Kari Bremns.
