| Grace Digital? The product description says you can stream music from your PC or Mac.I just got a Grace Mondo, which is a tabletop Internet radio. Very pleased with it so far. | |
| Dan Hicks & His Hot Licks type music, any others? Where's the Money and Striking it Rich are insanely great records.They might be accused of deriving their singing style from Lambert, Hendricks and Ross, so they are worth a listen. Definitely full-in on the jazz side of things, though. | |

| Recent equipment you hated, thought overpriced I've liked some Ayre products, but not the K-5XE[mp] preamp. Do not understand the enthusiasm.Plinius. Though in fairness, it always sounds good (often very very good) in others' systems, just not in mine. | |
| Selling dispute. Please comment. If Audiogon FIXES there site I may make further purchases (got that in!). If I may ask, what needs fixing? | |
| Hypex Ncore NC400 I'm pretty happy with the Ncore amp I built, but I'm more of a solid state person anyway. | |

It will almost certainly equal and probably better the DAC in any low-cost AV receiver you'd get, then you can just use your existing preamp and amp. Toslink's shortcomings are greatly exaggerated. Use a g... | |
| Class A amps or Class D??: Which sounds better?? That was brilliant, wolfy. In a Professor Irwin Corey sort of way. | |
| What is the best power cord for pass labs xa100.5? There is no doubt in my mind Nelson Pass selects the best power cord for his products.That was a joke, right? All high end manufacturers bundle appropriately robust but otherwise very basic and inexpensive cords with their gear. They do this becau... | |
| Unusual TAS bomb Most the reviews now are not much more than advertorials. Sometimes you get a good one. I too loved TAS back in the day. But a negative review back then could practically kill a small manufacturer. | |
| VSA VR-3 Upgrades. Has anyone done them? Results? Wouldn't more efficient woofers necessitate changes to the crossover? | |
| Don't read you'll be sorry PBN said, "you get what you pay for," but I'd argue that's not really true here. If it is indeed Rockefeller, it's still a huge bargain at the price, right?There's one other piece of the puzzle that hasn't been addressed. Someone needs to cut open... | |
| Cables for Harbeth-Luxman match? Is there a problem with what you have now? It looks like it would be a good match. |
