| Best Diana Krall album...........is??? So here we go - her new album "Quiet Nights" arrived from Amazon today.As the title suggests, this is a very soft album with an eclectic, mostly lackluster set of chestnuts (gee that was fun to write). According to the official blurb site:"...The ... | |
| Squeze Box Question Swanny - I hope that you are giving serious consideration to a Mac... what you want is what they are built to do. If you haven't you owe it to yourself to go to your nearest Apple store and spend some time at the Genius Bar. | |
| Squeze Box Question For me definitely. For you? IMHO probablyOn the whole, most people will agree that a hard drive based transport will out perform all but the very best CD transports. While the devil is in the details, all computer based systems basically work the ... | |
| Butler amplifiers Ecka - you are correct in your assessment - it is not the last word in anything - it is solid, very enjoyable piece for the system and listening environment I have - as well as what I had to spend. (The 5150s sometimes come through on Agon at some... | |
| Converting to Apple Lossless There have been several threads about this here and there. Turns out that even if your file was originally ripped in Apple Lossless, you are still offered the choice to "Convert to Lossless".In which case ignore.If the file was originally ripped a... | |
| Butler amplifiers Actually the very same Butler as in car amps CWlondonI bought a used 2250 to run my HT and I am very pleased with it. It is solid, has a lot of power and is very musical. I won't try dazzle with some description of the perfect combination of tube ... | |

| Sqeezebox 3, Apple Lossless or FLAC? Seconding Sufentanil. Especially if you are a newb, use Apple Lossless in iTunes - don't even spend a second fretting about what you are missing. You are buying into one of Apple's premiere products supported by a top staff of developers etc.Proba... | |
| capacitors Sherod -no question that the sound is improved - 100%? - probably not but I was lucky enough and had smart enough advisors that it enhanced what was already there - it didn't change the character of the speakers - in other words there was no start... | |
| Novice interconnect question. I agree with Uru and F1- I most always put my best pair between the source and the pre - so in your case the CDP and the pre - but (always a but) once you have the new ICs and have let them settle in (100 hrs min) you should try them between the p... | |
| capacitors I recently rebuilt the crossovers on my Kestrels - pretty simple circuit - my first DIY venture - but as Sns points out it isn't a cheap date by the time you redo caps, inductors, resistors, internal wiring, binding posts - I have nearly as much i... | |
| back to ask again long sorry fascinating - does the same thing happen when you are using the BluRay and watching your Plasma? | |
| Outriggers: Soundocity only game in town? The Oregon DV guys are very nice to deal with | |

| Higher End USB Cables FWIW - I use and recommend the Opticis fiber optic USB cable. This cable is designed for industrial applications and can be run hundreds of feet. It takes the USB input from the cable, converts it to light, then reconverts it at the other end.Pers... |
