Hey guys!!! It's been awhile, but I like to pop in from year to year.... 
I'm exploring DSD (even purchased a TEAC PD-501HR player) and wonder what the current consensus is on the subject. I listened to a few downloads (Beck-Sea Changes and Cat Stevens-Tea For The Tillerman), and can hear a bit of an improvement, but to be honest, standard CDs sound excellent with this player.
Thoughts anyone?

Hey, there is a sign in the upper left that says 4warn so you have no excuse. Besides, it cools right down later on so what's your problem? Maybe Nashville is where this commercial is shot?This was on the weather forecast at noontime here in Nashville...

50º would end this boys career. I've only experienced 40 before and that was downright miserable.That's a lovely temperature. Thank god it's not 50 degrees!!
Nostalgia time, my 1972 feeling : prince buster - dance cleopatra - music service - YouTube
One of the reasons I returned to TT's, not one of Prince Busters' albums or maxi singles were released on CD.
Totally him to blame for that, so I gathered.

Jacco, Jet Star has issued at least three collections of Prince Buster classics on CD - worth the effort to find them.
Scott - Your dorm mate from '69 must have been either a Brit or ahead of his time - Reggae (apart from the horrible covers by folks like Clapton) wasn't brought to my attention until '76 - Ska and Prince Buster, much later, mostly due to the early 80's British Ska revival scene fueled to a large extent by Prince Buster's recordings. Madness, The Beat, and The Specials all covered Prince Buster.

Great to hear.
My youngest sister bought the album with the Cleopatra number when it was released here in '72. We played the record silly back then.
This week, she's been dead for 16 years, junkie alcoholic who went comatose.
(me likely in memory lane, due to thursday's news)
I don't think Mr Wurcer was referring to records, more to wall banging.
The word for Pum Pum in Surinam Sranan Tongo is Poenie, Doshi in Papiamento/u.
(my poor excuse is that I adore any kind of slang)
Here's the instrumental original from 1966, btw
Rolando Alfonso - Jericho Chain.wmv - YouTube
Rolando Alfonso (saxophone player, originally from Cuba) and Prince Buster were both part of the Skatalites, so likely came up with the soundtrack together.
Scott and I were overlapping dorm neighbors back in '71 (he was an upperclassman, I had just started). There was a fair bit of wall banging going on, sometimes some revenge via circuit breaker. I started out across the hall from a guy with a powerful stereo system and a penchant for horrible doo-wop like Sha-Na-Na - pure hell with onions on it...
A certain 3-way speaker from Popular Electronics (Thrifty Three?) was all the rage then - I think I remember Scott testing his finished set in the hall using Jimi's "Star Spangled Banner". Maybe he was also the culprit who fired up a speaker with a variac and found all the resonances in the long common dorm floor hall (maybe not, but it happened)...

Those were an update to the tube based counters I was using at the time....
