I am a headphone fanatic and have mainly posted on the headfi site til now. I am in awe of the wonderful equipment and efforts you have taken in getting the most out of your vinyl. Believe me when I say that my HiFiMan HE-6 First Watt F6 Power Amp and Quad ESL 2.0 Virtual Speakers are absolutely ruthless in revealing the difference between a good vinyl setup and a so so one. I have a Rega Planar 2 and am so impressed with all your work I am seriously considering scrapping the 2 years of work I spent creating sub standard rips using a Mini A2D USB Preamp. 93 The Lounge / Re: David Bowie loses battle with cancer at age 69« Last post by Trekasaurus on January 16, 2016, 07:12:40 PM »Thank you very much for sharing about David Bowie with us . I am listening to Cat People from your site. It's a long time since I heard it and it's just as great as I remember it. I was only a toddler when David Bowie was putting the real glam in glam rock and then left it as it's biggest star. 94 The Lounge / David Bowie loses battle with cancer at age 69« Last post by BSD2000 on January 11, 2016, 05:37:56 AM »Singer David Bowie has died at the age of 69 from cancer. His son, film director Duncan Jones, confirmed the news and a statement was issued on his social media accounts. "David Bowie died peacefully today surrounded by his family after a courageous 18-month battle with cancer," it said. "While many of you will share in this loss, we ask that you respect the family's privacy during their time of grief." Bowie's hits include Let's Dance, Space Oddity, Starman, Modern Love, Heroes, Under Pressure, Rebel, Rebel and Life on Mars. He was also well known for creating his flamboyant alter ego Ziggy Stardust. The singer only released his latest album Blackstar on his birthday on Friday. The album, which includes just seven songs, has been well received by critics. His son wrote on Twitter: "Very sorry and sad to say it's true. I'll be offline for a while. Love to all." Bowie's long-time friend and producer Tony Visconti said Blackstar was the singer's "parting gift" to the world. He wrote on Facebook: "He always did what he wanted to do. And he wanted to do it his way and he wanted to do it the best way. "His death was no different from his life - a work of art. He made Blackstar for us, his parting gift. "I knew for a year this was the way it would be. I wasn't, however, prepared for it. He was an extraordinary man, full of love and life. He will always be with us." Tributes have also been paid to Bowie from across the world of entertainment. Brian Eno, who collaborated with Bowie on his albums Low and Heroes, said: "Words cannot express... rest in peace David Bowie". Bowie collaborator Rick Wakeman wrote on Twitter: "As I'm sure you can imagine I'm gutted hearing of David's passing. He was the biggest influence & encouragement I could ever have wished for." Madonna said she was "devastated" and that Bowie had "changed her life". She wrote on Twitter: "Talented . Unique. Genius. Game Changer. The Man who Fell to Earth. Your Spirit Lives on Forever!" Rapper Kanye West said: "David Bowie was one of my most important inspirations, so fearless, so creative, he gave us magic for a lifetime." Comedian and actor Ricky Gervais, who convinced Bowie to star as himself and ridicule Gervais in an episode of 2006 sitcom Extras, simply wrote: "I just lost a hero. RIP David Bowie." Scottish musician Midge Ure, who helped organised the Live Aid concert in 1985 - at which Bowie performed - told ITV's Good Morning Britain: "He wasn't just a brilliant songwriter and an amazing creator, he excelled at everything. He gave us the point to run towards, we are all still trying to run towards that, everyone."
