| Internet Radio: Audiophile or no? LokieI am delighted you discovered Pandora and are having fun, too. Yes, it's great for background - at last, I can set the mood or change the mood without stocking up on lousy compilation CDs.I have also quickly discovered new music based on my p... | |
| Internet Radio: Audiophile or no? Pandora has really grabbed my attention.It does NOT sound particularly detailed, airy, transparent or revealing, but at least in my system it sounds very comfortable and pleasing, which is more than I can say for some "high end" components I have ... | |

| The Best Amp for the Price of Dirt I'm with Crem1 - I continue to use an A500 on my desktop at the office, and a pair of A500 as monoblocks on my desk at home.I NEVER turn them off, even through bad weather and thunderstorms, and I have never had a problem - they don't even get hot... |
