| Jplay vs Amarra, PC vs. Mac Actually, I'm not sure it is. I have my old Vista installation still on the laptop, and it doesn't bluescreen but I get a message after 20 minutes of using Jplay in hibernate that "Windows has encountered an error and has to shut down"! I used to ... | |

However, if something is mixed really badly, you will hear it, but my impression was they announced the "badness" of the mix without makin... | |
| Rotel 1072 & Arcam 73 comparison Thanks for the post...I believe the Arcam 73 doesn't do HDCD though, so if you are listening to HDCDs on both systems it won't be a fair comparison.I prefer the Arcam sound myself. I didn't buy a 72 when I got my first system together because the ... |
