Why are dealers so scared to sell product out of
Instead, I have local dealers with zero demo stock who have not even heard the product I want to buy. They know far less about the product than I do. Yes, they are willing to allow me to walk in, order the multi-thousand dollar product and let me ... 
Is it too much to ask....
First:Marty, get the hell out of here.....and take your logical rationality with you damn it!! ;)Hilarious!Second:I've bought (& sold) many amps over the years. Never have I given a thought to whether or not specs were listed in the sellers ad... 
New Logitech Squeezebox Touch
Yep, sadly they've discontinued the whole "squeezebox" format. I still own a few of their "boomboxes" & radios and will continue to until they die. Although, I am selling my SB3 to go to a Mac Mini server.I don't understand killing the whole f...

Macbook vs Squeezebox 3
I got a demo V-Link II from Crutchfield for $109. But on your recommendation, I just ordered a V-Link 192 from Music Direct for $199 & free shipping. I'll compare them and see if I can hear a difference, then return one of them. Once I get use... 
Macbook vs Squeezebox 3
Why migrate away from the SB3 if it sounds so good? Because it has been obsolete'd by Logitech, i.e. no support?Exactly.The V-Link came today. I just finished playing with it, for the last hour or so. Using optical wasn't much better than optical ... 
Macbook vs Squeezebox 3
Steve,Not disagreeing, just asking. Are you saying that I will not be able to get sound that equals or betters my Squeezebox, from my Mac, without a USB converter and an expensive digital cable? It seems like the converter is the more important pi... 
Macbook vs Squeezebox 3
My Macbook does have optical digital output. I did a little more testing last night, using iTunes w/Pure Music in the "memory mode". Did sound a little better than the USB, but still the Macbook sounded very flat, undynamic and one dimensional com... 
Why do Harbeth speakers have such a cult following
Cult type products tend to appeal to a small segment of the population who see them as special in some way.I like that definition of "cult". At least as it pertains to "things", stereo eqipment, motorcycles, etc. 
Macbook vs Squeezebox 3
Not sure whether it has optical out or not. I'll have to check. As for the V-Link, I don't really want to buy any more hardware. Was hoping I could plug the Macbook into the USB input, tweak some settings and have better sound than my modded SB3. ... 
Ipod 30-pin-to-USB cable
The OP's tinyurl is linked to Audio Adisor, who offer a 30-day return. Why not buy a couple of cables, try them for a few weeks and keep the one that you like the best? 
Vandersteen 2ce questions
Rrog-No, I just run the single voice coil. I found the Gallos to be more dynamic. Don't get me wrong, I owned Vandies for a LONG time, I really like them. I just found they didn't have the "slam/impact/dynamics" (whatever you want to call it), tha... 
Vandersteen 2ce questions
Rrog-I would agree with your statement, up to a point. Different speaker designs definitely present what they're fed differently.Without changing anything else in my system, I went from 3a Signatures, to Gallo 3.1's and found all of the "slam" I h... 
Vandersteen 2ce questions
I owned 2ce Sigs, 3a's & 3a Sigs, all very nice speakers. I used them with a number of different amps, McCormack, NuForce, Musical Fidelity, Belles. While the bass is deep, I always felt they were lacking in "slam"/dynamics. As much as I liked...
