geoffkait,With almost 11,000 posts under your belt, displaying exceptional technical knowledge of many of the subjects on the Forum,  IMO, you truly are a most positive, delightful, prolific and and entertaining troll.

The most fun you can have in audio is DIYing your own speakers
Dan,In the 50s, and through the mid 60s I had access to a complete carpenter shop and built several speaker cabinets. Used Altec Lansing, JBL and Tannoy speakers. My last venture was  a subwoofer with two JBL 15"; however, it was too large to move...

I cheated - -  and bought six hospital grade plugs. If they're good enough for the electronic equipment in an operating room, I'll trust them with my audio electronics.

What will become of my beloved CDs?
elizabeth, Your argument about not being able to decode CDs in the future is the same one I use to refuse to go digital in photography - - but to stick to film and photographs printed on archival paper. \Matthew Brady's photographs of the Civil Wa...

Looking For 90% of the performane of the super expensive cables for much less money
elizabeth,IMO, Mahler really didn't become a prominent composer (other than live performances) until stereo came into being.  Mahler's orchestration demands the capability to listen in "stereo," permitting the listener to hear the depth and distin... 
SREAMING???
phillybGotta' agree.  There are  about 40 versions of the Verdi Requiem available on  CDs (I have six of them) along with many versions of the Beethoven, Brahms, Sibelius, Bruckner, Mozart, Dvorak,etc., symphonies, concertos, chorales,and strings.... 
SREAMING???
Good ideaAfter trying streaming, I've gone back to my classical  CDs(Spinning a  Bryston BCD-3)Streaming may be  OK for  other than classical music, but too  much is lost for most classical when the  music is compressed into an MP3 equivalent and ...
