subject: New Gadget !!!!!!!

->         My CD search has been delayed after reading the ad in Audio 
Advisor and
-> Sam Telligs(sp) Stereophile article with quick notes on the British X10-D 
CD
-> Enhancer. I purchased one from Audio Advisor (they are now sold out and 
will be
-> a couple weeks before getting more) and "banged" it into my system 
yesterday.
-> Whoa !!!!!!
->         Everything they said and more is true!!!! The result is nothing 
less
-> than a transformation of my CD capabilities! I cannot now imagine going 
without
-> it. As a matter of fact I intend to purchase a second unit for my office.
->         No kidding, this is one "tweak", gadget, add-on, gizmo, that is 
worth
-> every cent of the $199 price. And I can say that without reservation nor
-> apology. One of these should be a part of every serious music lovers hifi
-> system, regardless of philosphy on tweaks, add ons, or existing equipment. 
-> To quote Sam Tellig, "there is more "THERE" there". 
I reread that same article today and also order the XL-10D.  However,, I
was not as foturnate as you and they had already sold out the curent
shipment.  The saleman indicated that had sold over 350.  I have to wait
until the next shipment.  From your comments it seems this really will
make a difference.  
I also order one of the new AudioPrisms CD Blacklight Matt at the same
time.  From the reviews, this also seems to be quite the tweak.  Have
you given this a try?
One last thing is have you seen the new Legacy Audio Web page at
legacy-audio.com?  When it is fully functional, it will be a good place
to stay up to date with what they are doing.  
->         My CD quest will have to wait another week before resumption. But 
in
-> answer to your question...I am not that far out in the boonies that we do 
not
-> get the latest CDs in the stores. It is a problem of them always being 
sold out
-> of anything worth having. There are several national chain record/CD shops 
in
-> the malls plus places like Circuit City and Best Buy that offer a pretty 
good
-> selection. The main problem here is the radio stations. We lack a variety 
as
-> the age make up of this area is polorized to retirees and top twenty 
stations.
-> Very little in between. As a matter of fact there is no New Age station, 
one
-> jazz station that plays about 50% Pop and we went several years without a
-> classical station!!! Can you believe that? There are about twenty other
-> stations playing pop, hard rock, two oldies and several pop country. 
->         As a result, word of new albums, etc, have to come from other 
sources
-> and often leave me feeling like I live in a cave. So when I do run across 
an
-> exceptional CD, it is reason for celebration! But, I have now/again blown 
my
-> allotted CD splurge monies and will have to wait a few days to try again. 
->         I did find an on-line (Internet) Music shop  out of NYC that has 
n
-> in-house search engine by 1. Type, 2. Artist, 3. Song/Album Name, 4. Index 
by
-> type. facility that allows on line lookups and ordering. Prices are 
reasonable.
-> and shipping is fast. So if I cannot find it here and support the local
-> community, I often use mail order. I cannot get to the address where I am 
now
-> at but will post it for you so you can have a look.
->         Oh, BTW, was unable to get your WEB Page yesterday. It came back
-> several times unable to locate it. I am sure it was on this end. My ISP is
-> going through very severe growing pains.
-> Cheers, John
