Soundhound,
I'd like your test tones disc if SCJ hasn't claimed it, and the 12 bit (or was it 2 bit) challenge disc for myself and passing on (that doesn't sound right). Anyway, my
My email address is jgarbern157294mi@comcast.net

Tofufot,

You're next in line. I will contact you.

SC Jim: I want this CD too. I have a cable modem or can paypal for CD and shipping if necessary. LMK.

The test tone disc is about 750MB - can anybody host this?? Maybe somebody with a lot of disc space can break down the CD into seperate files for each test tone. Each one lasts for 1 minute and therefore has a file of about 10 MB.

Hopefully the 'Listening Challenge' CD will be available to download online soon!

Bill D - I followed your pre/pro journey with interest in other forums. I was especially interested when I was considering the Soundstage as an alternative to the 950. I chose the 950 for budget reasons as well and still am happy I did.

Like you I'm quite satisfied with the HT performance and realize I could spend a lot more and get a little more. With my upcoming projector purchase I've had to shelf my plans for a 2 channel pre. But after I get the music pre, I'll be very satisfied with my setup and the money I was able to save.

The 950 is definitely the champagne taste beer budget pre/pro of the bunch. And its interesting that with both of our excruciating pre/pro auditions we've both ended up here.

If anyone out there's interested in getting the pre/pro lowdown, read Bills post again. I've never come across anyone with more first hand knowledge.

FYI...

The Anthem has arrived. The Head-to-Head will begin tomorrow.

For those of you interested in how other new processors stack up, there is a "comparison" in the November Sound & Vision magazine between the Anthem AVM20/Aragon Stage One/ Sunfire Theater Grand III pre/pros.

Looking forward to it.

The head-to-head was held last night. But I don't want to post my impressions until Jim has a chance to first...

Kevin: Awww come on... how bout a hint?
Should Anthem owners put that ad in Audiogon and contact Scott for a place in line?
