| What's all the fuss about late 70s and earl 80s run of the mill midfi turntables? While I still have a couple hundred records, As fast as I could afford it, I bought a CD player and haven’t looked back. I found all the clicks and pops, no matter how small, very distracting and annoying. We all talk about that being there soun... | |

| What should my heirs do to dispose of my vinyl and CDs? I have a friend who took his collection to a shooting range and use all his records and CD’s as skeet! I saw the pictures and couldn’t decide whether to laugh or cry. | |
| Is soundstage DEPTH a myth? Others have mentioned the ultimate demonstration disk by David Chesky and it is good, but his newest album, The Hifi Collection is superb! If you ever listen to Steve Gutenberg The Audiophiliac, he’s good friends with David Chesky and there’s a li... | |

| Why do I need a switch? Thanks @jeffstrick for the answer. Seeing as this is only a test, I just ordered a couple of the Ethernet to fiber boxes from Amazon and we’ll see what happens. If I hear anything I’ll get better power supplies and if I hear nothing, they’ll go b... | |
| Why do I need a switch? @mitch2 Okay, So, I’ll have to use the Powerline adapter and have the boxed between it and the streamer. Knowing i have thirty day to return everything, I’m going to give it a try. Heck, I can even plug the warts into the power conditioner. | |
| Why do I need a switch? @mitch2 One more question, do you have the converters before your router or plugged into one of its outputs. I’d have to put it before the router because I mostly do WiFi. Otherwise I have to use a netgear Powerline adapter. NETGEAR Powerline a... | |

| Custom Window Sound Blockers The did a knock down across the street and are building two houses and the noise has been annoying, to say the least. We have vertical blinds on the three windows and they don’t cut it! | |
| where and how to find blank "music" CD's Live and learn! I’ve made thousands of music CD’s on a computer and never heard of digital music CD’s. I even had a commercial CD copier. Do music CD’s sound sound any different? | |
| Home audio or pro audio? Long ago, I worked with pro audio and found it very much like home audio in a lot of cases. We bi or tri amped everything, but never had a need for fancy power or cables. When you’re filling a hall at a convention center, no one is going to hear... |
