Doug MacLeod – "There’s a Time"
I had never listened to him before but was looking for something new and read the reviews mentioned above. I agree, this is an excellent album. The RR recording is stunning, even at 320 on Mog. I'll be ordering this CD. 
Downloading & Converting Music
Max, You're correct except that, with MP3s, information is actually discarded during the creation of the MP3. So, it's not that it just can't be retrieved, it's no longer there. Conversion to WAV or FLAC format will only contain the information th... 
Will a Sonos Connect Zone Player 90 recognize 5G
Terrific. Glad that was it. I think a lot of the issues that people have with dropouts and wireless routers are related to the channel. It's pretty silly that they all ship with the same setting. 
Will a Sonos Connect Zone Player 90 recognize 5G
Wireless routers come with a default IP address set for them. This is usually 192.168.1.1 but depends on the brand and can be changed. If you can find that address, use that as the location in your browser. You should be presented with a login scr...

One thing that you could try is going into the admin screens for your wireless router and changing the channel that it is operating on. Most of them come configured for channel 11 and hardly anybody ever changes it. It's not too hard to imagine a ... 
Audio Aero Prima 24-bit/192kHz Should I fix it?
Jim, Sorry it didn't work out. Best of luck on the search. That is a pretty well-respected player. Dick 
Audio Aero Prima 24-bit/192kHz Should I fix it?
Jim, Lubricating the rails may help with the skipping. I have seen others claim that this helps. I've never had to do this but my thought was (if necessary) to use zipper lubricant that you can get at the local sewing/fabric store. It's made for l... 
Aging and Treble and Income?
I'd be willing to bet that it has more to do with the fact that flash sells product and tipped up treble seems like flash at first. Once you own it, it's your problem if it becomes irritating. I'm in my mid-50s and I've come to realize over the ye... 
Squeezebox Dead?
I don't know about everybody else but mine (Touch) is working JUST FINE. I suppose if Logitech shuts down mysqueezebox.com at some point it will restrict its utility. However, it will still stream music from your computer. Sonos is the obvious nex... 
Machina Dynamica
Search the forums. I think you'll find your answer. :) 
Integrated amp: Can it perform equal to separates?
Jim, if the Adagios are that expensive to ship and you can sell them locally, it might be more cost effective to repurchase them after the move. They do come up here fairly often (there are two pair listed right now). Dick 
And now for something completely different:
VERY COOL!!! And yes, completely different. Thanks for sharing. Dick 
Static electricity Killin me.
B_limo, I'm assuming you have carpet or a rug between your listening position and your equipment. If so, you can control static by mixing fabric softener with water in a spray bottle and spray the part you walk on. One article I saw suggested 1 ta... 
Listening Room Art Work
Just google album cover wall frames. They come in a variety of styles and price ranges. I always thought they were a good idea since you can change the albums occasionally to add variety. 
Speaker Placement
I'm sorry if I misunderstood you Roscoe50 but when your reference is 60 degrees off-axis (i.e, an equilateral triangle), 160-170 degrees IS sitting almost directly behind the speakers.In regards your response to what Manitunc is saying, the nature...
