Used CD/record shopping
Do you guys still find bargains on used music? After spending a while in NYC and Boston it seems most places priced the good stuff at Ebay or higher prices. And the local stores in my area now basically stock crap that has a nice fine line of dust on it. I think I'm going to all the wrong places

Another Stax Omega 2 setup
I think so, I can't think of an intermediate amp between now and the BH. The uber BH is just awaiting what you have in store for it

Ahhh nice. Dance of Death on CD sounds really bad. These Castle reissues all use the mastering from the first pressed CDs, which is fantastic. Self Titled on Castle sounds really close to my first pressing UK vinyl.

Thanks. Maiden/metal/rock sounds unreal through them. I completely agree with Birgir that they're lacking in the high freq extremes with the transformer box. But holy shit it's like an ultra resolving (minus the midbass hump) L3000. Of course I've only listened to them yesterday and today. Damn acclimatizing to normal altitude after flying

Stax got the volume controller right, postjack house party edition stepper: First discs played: (odd looking one is Miles Davis JJ Sessions Japan DSD master) Stax can't rock? Setup sounds really good

Active vs. Passive speakers?
Hearing electrostatic headphones will ruin you But I might have a chance to hear the new Sound Lab Majestic this summer, though they obviously aren't active. Nine foot panels :drool:

Woah! What's up with the quick thread locks lately?
Also a bunch of those "locked" threads are me moving threads to the appropriate forum, which are always left open.

How do you tag classical music?
FLAC with Foobar allows so many options. This is what I use as an example: PERFORMER = G

Small-ish cheap-ish (DIY?) speaker amp
I'd like to hear how the Beta sounds with the Stax transformers (if it will have enough power) otherwise I'm interested in an integrated chip amp.

DAC Suggestions
A Rakk DAC with passive output stage is way under $1000. I have never heard one though.
