VINCE YOUNG On hi def?
No to mention, the NFL generally prefers quarterbacks who step up into the pocket versus take off running. NFL QBs lose value with broken limbs, ribs, and collarbones.No disprespect to Vince Young. 
VINCE YOUNG On hi def?
Amazing performance, to be sure.Whether his style will fit in with the NFL is another question, since NFL defenses are considerably tougher, faster, and meaner than what Young has faced in college.

In a 3-Piece Band: Bass or Drum?
Nice reply by Onhwy61. Any combination of instruments can work given the right players, and the appropriate musical style. However, I have yet to hear a rock band without drums, although I have heard a few rock bands with only two instruments...on... 
Future of this hobby?
When I was a teenager forty years ago, I listened to records on my $15 columbia "system" with two speakers.This statement perfectly encapsulates the crux of this issue, in my opinion. I also listened to two-channel music for hours and hours starti... 
When is digital going to get the soul of music?
In other words, analog does it for me, and digital doesn't. My question is why?I understand your question, and I'm suggesting to you that you won't find the answer in any responses in this thread, because it has to do with your personal perception... 
When is digital going to get the soul of music?
I'm trying to understand how one gets off on digital.This sounds to me like a question of fetishism rather than one of audio. You might have better results by asking a therapy professional.

Future of this hobby?
It occurs to me now might be the ideal time to begin developing and Audiophile Assisted Living Center. Oh, and of course each room will have two dedicated AC circuits for analog and digital...and the breathing machines will be on a separate circui...

Future of this hobby?
I agree, Firecracker_77.We are living during a massive paradigm shift in entertainment, akin to the move to home stereo from radio, and to the move from radio to television. High end audio will continue to be enjoyed by an increasingly older demog... 
Future of DVD-A
I'm not going to comment on the health of DVD-A as a format, since this discussion is generally the same as the discussion of SACD, but I can offer some user comments.I recently purchased a couple of DVD-A discs by Chris Botti and Donald Fagan. Th... 
New Dk SIGN.?
Looking for validation? You get what you get when you buy purely on word of mouth. I'm guilty of it as well. Mostly, it's worked out for me, however buying used takes most of the sting out of any re-sale.Best of luck. Let us know what you think af...
