Todd Garfinkle - what style of Jazz it belongs to?
Thanks, but the search results are quite wide: Adult Contemporary, Post-Bop, Free Jazz, Avant-Garde Jazz; while it does give an idea, it hardly may be used as a criteria to find more like this... 
Experiences with SlimDevices Squeezebox.
I'm currently looking for something like that, but I'm really concerned with the quality of the unit: it's role is to receive, to buffer, and then to clock the signal into SPDIF out. But in order to do it with acceptable level of jitter it must ha... 
USB DA recommendation needed
Rsbeck, does it have SPDIF out to connect to a standalone DAC? 
Audiophile USB to PCM
As I understand, the major advantage of USB connection is ability to take your SPDIF interface as far as possible from the computer that generates plenty of RFI and other noises. USB, being buffered solution isn't likely to introduce jitter, but y... 
Best Small Speakers
I'm very happy with Revel M20, they're small, have a special setting for "close-to-wall" placement if necessary, look nice, and the most important - sound extremelly good, from guitar or piano solos - to organ, being driven by a Simaudio I-5 amp &... 
what are gold cd's
I've seen the same titles in Gold and Aluminium from MA Recordings. I'm doubt they differ in mastering. In price - yes. Any other difference I'm missing? 
Any reccomendations for a CD burner?

Any reccomendations for a CD burner?
Plextor is the most popular among highest quality options, I also heard some Teacs are about the same level...I wouldn't care about most standalone units, as A/D converter quality is usually isn't clear, using SPDIF introduces more jitter, etc. Us... 
What mini-monitors should I audition?
So, how did you like the Revels? 
How did you get into this hobby?
Everything started when my dad let me sit with headphones listening Mozart, I was 3 years old... In school I started to save for my first "upgrade": some unit consisting of LP and Tape in one with two funny one-way speakers. And, so on... 
Redbook+SACD Player to Replace Denon 5900?
Too bad they don't ship overseas... 
SACD - Dying already?
Robert said very well: "the general public just doesn't care that much about audio quality and will settle for less." They're not aware about hi-rez formats not because of wrong marketing, but because they don't need it, at all. iTune is much more... 
Revel Performa Series
Congratulations! I've got just M20 so far, but I easely imagine your excitement. 
recommendation of a sound level meter
Rives, if my understanding is correct, your CD is made for stock RS meter. Does it mean that it's not usable in case I'm using an external mike? 
What are your favorite monitors?
Well, Revels M20 are out of luck today...
