What do I Need in Order to Stream digital content and Store & Play CD's ?
I'm right there with you Michael. Thinking of trying Tidal through a current usb DAC via my PC and the terminology used by the experts (ie NAS, Synology or QNAP) is confusing to me.I think we may need to find a "Streaming for Dummies" book. lolBes...

I built some DIY HFT resonators using ozzy’s recipe (copper fly fishing cones inside of 1/8" copper plumbing end caps). Total cost was something like $20. They definitely effect the sound in my room. Pretty powerful actually. Easy to overdo it and... 
Class "A" sound, as related to Stereophile.
Hi o,Randy was onto something with that link to the how-to on DIY diffusors. Very good info on understanding diffusor design. The vendor that was selling them for $99 disappeared.  These look okay:http://www.audiogon.com/listings/acoustics-pi-audi...

Hi thieliste,It is too bad that you are so far away. I could fix you up with my old DR-6 pre and the DR-25 until you get settled. A great combo.I would think that the CAP-151 would pretty good as a preamp via the pre out. No experience with Musica...

Hi Charles,My DR-10 sample (NIB) could have been defective. I had heard the Stages at the dealer with the DR-25 (that I ended up with) and the sonic differences were profound with the Stages in my room at the time. Never regretted trading up to th...

Hi thieliste,I started by hi-end journey with a DR-10 driving Apogee Stages. That amp was so flat and lifeless than I took it back to the dealer and paid the 2X+ difference to get the DR-25. Night and day difference in those two. Still have the DR...

Nice to know Tim. Nothing like being set up by someone with an agenda to push posing as a real person with genuine interest in learning. Shoulda known.I only listen from one position as I am only one person at any given point in time. As for havin...

I am truly surprised that that one didn't get nominated on page 1, Jerry. I have no idea as to its sonic benefits, but it better be more than a "I'm telling you I can hear the difference, dammit!" product at that price IMO.Best to you Jerry,Dave 
Choosing Sub-woofers. Please advise ASAP.
Hi Tim,Glad to give it a shot.What I said was that I use the RELs out-of-phase to cancel standing waves due to room bass nodes. The improvement in soundstage happens due to the sub(s) loading the room with sound pressure, either "in-phase" or "out... 
Why are low impedance speakers harder to drive than high impedance speakers
"Current production is a more useful indicator of amp "grunt" than rated wattage (or so I think)." Nice job ghosthouse.Best to you,Dave 
Choosing Sub-woofers. Please advise ASAP.
"A full range speaker should sound better with a smaller sub by virtue of its FR and the fact that it’s producing decent bass on its own already. Conversely, a small speaker should benefit from a bigger sub to cover a wider range."It doesn’t work ...
