| Song (or music) you want played at your funeral. Dvorak’s 9th, Going Homeand Mozart’s Ave Verum Corpus done by Christopher Parkening | |
| Help choosing/confirguring NAS So you are hard wired to the drive? How about if I want the drive in the basement, wired to my home network? Can I stream with my iPad or other streamer with no concern whether the NAS is “mapped”? | |

If I only had a half hour, I just wouldn’t warm up the tube rig. Now that my amp is soli... | |
| Speaker alternatives Thanks for the suggestion, Shadorne. Yes, I probably would not be thinking of alternatives if I wasn't looking at a move in the near future. | |
| Speaker alternatives Thanks, Johnny, that's exactly the kind of insight I was looking for. | |
| Speaker alternatives Soix, I have owned and enjoyed Thiels, but I have not heard the 2.4’s. I recall a number of folks on the Gon saying that they thought the 2.4 was their favorite Thiel. Just as both you and Keith have suggested, I am trying to be mindful of compa... |
