| Why not batteries instead of power supplies? The late Gary Dodd produced some very fine electronics powered by batteries. Check out posts on the Dodd Audio and GR Research AudioCircle Forums for discussions about them. | |
| Hi-rez music - why should it cost more? jond nailed it! Reselling the same music on CD to the people who originally bought it on LP is what kept the record companies afloat through the 80's and 90's. There is NO justification for charging more for 96/24 than for 44.1/16. It costs no mor... | |
