Feelings on Napster?
You ought to, you're the same guy...If it were illegal, the judge would have shut it down. Stop whining like a crybaby, and enjoy your own music. 
The best Cdp that have volume control
Actually, the CD-50's is only 50 ohms, single ended. OK, there is essentially no difference in the impedance (between Line 3 and CD-50 or -55), then. Like I said, other CD-55 owners, who also owned the CD-50, have all said that the CD-55 was brigh... 
Feelings on Napster?
Cornfed, I'm glad you're so sure of yourself, there, especially since that makes no sense at all. 
Widening my soundstage
Korn, I wish you all the best with your problems. 
Feelings on Napster?
Not so many, just you and Korn, and I'm ok with that. You need to get a life, and grow up a little bit. Keep it on audio, or you know what will happen. Others have gone before you.... 
Cables for ML380S/ML332/Res Aud CD-55
And you think that somehow, by attacking me personally, that helps Lakefrontroad? WHY ARE THE ABOVE 4 POSTS HERE, THEN? I submit that not one of you owns the same system as lakefront, either. I will never be shamed for trying to help someone, nor ... 
The best Cdp that have volume control
The output impedance of the Line 3 is no lower than that of the CD-50, it is actually much higher (thus it drives the amplifier load with less aplomb). That said, if your power amplifier has an input impedance higher than that of typical amps (i.e... 
Do CD-R's sound the same as originals
(From the above post) ""Jitter read from a CD will affect how well the read servo stays locked, and how much the read servo has irregular power supply demands. Just about everything and anything affect the power supply, so reduce jitter read from ... 
Shunyata vs Electraglide vs FIM
I tried both the FIM Gold and two different Shunyata Black Mambas on my Rogue 88 amplifier, and found them all to sound very similar. They were bright, and lacked dynamic contrast. I preferred the Synergistic Reference Master Coupler to both of th... 
Widening my soundstage
Listen to Ramstl. Also, not all recordings have out of phase signal information, so those will not image beyond the width of the speakers (this is not even considering the height and depth planes; instrument image sizes/prespectives, etc.). A good... 
Best DIY tube amp kit(s)
I have the Paramour, but it will be a while before I can build it. I'm told that the Chinese 2A3's stink, but then I can always get better 2A3's. I'm also going to do a loop out for the RCA's, and an IEC for external power cord connection. I may e...

That's not always true, and some of us suffer from retail burnout. I bet your music store loves to see you come in the door!! 
Cables for ML380S/ML332/Res Aud CD-55
Paragon Radiant speakers (5 inch "mtm" w/Dynaudio drivers), or Magneplanar MMG's in a smaller room. I have not had a Levinson amp in my home, but can't imagine that this MIT interconnect would not get the best out of it (mine is a 2 meter run, and... 
The best Cdp that have volume control
Gee, I guess this imaginary in-law is right, and I'm wrong. What other explanation could there possibly be? Oh yes, and the designer would also have to be an idiot for putting a volume control in there to begin with, since it sounds so awful "stra... 
"Burn in" Are you serious?
Or perhaps if he just exercised more, he wouldn't jostle so much.
