| Any info on sqeezebox slim devices? Sound quality is very good and the modders can make it better. Most basic one is to simply upgrade the wall wart for about $20 Tons of information on the SLIM Forums and also on www.audioasylum.com in the PC forum - just do a search http://www.aud... | |
| Where should I start for computer audio?? The best place I have been for this type of info is Audio Asylums PC Forum. There is a very active and knowledgeable group there. You should do some searches since questions like this come up every day. You can find my posts under xmaspartyhttp://... | |
| High End User Interface for PC Audio I have stuck with a single format approach (Apple Lossless) for that very reason... but you're right it will only get better | |

From the readings Avguygeorge pointed me at, the benefits of the 1080 rate become increasingly appare... | |
| Plasma Aftermarket Power Cord I think you will find that putting some power conditioning between the wall and the plugs will make a bigger different then a cable. This is home theater not as reference hifi and the solutions are a bit different especially since Plasmas - but al... | |
