| Any audiophile grade optical cables? Read this:http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews/toslink/toslink.htmlHaven't used either of their recommended cables. Bought the Van Den Hul Optocoupler, received it today, wrong cable... so can't help you with whether it makes a difference/how it sou... | |
| Sealed Vinyl Hey Stew, aside from the obvious, which is to listen to the record, is there any way to figure out if a re-issue is from a digital source or the original analog master tapes? I heard Simply Vinyl out of the UK did the same thing. I bought Nirvana'... | |

| On the Fence with Analog Vs. Digital. Need Help FWIW, I also liked the Playstation. It was $35, I wanted to spend my limited resources on a computer based system and analog. Pretty low risk.

| On the Fence with Analog Vs. Digital. Need Help Oh, if you want some Vinyl propaganda this guy writes a pretty informative and entertaining (keep in mind it is subjective however) online column about the relative merits of vinyl (I like his choice in music as well):http://www.furious.com/Perfec... | |

That is if you like collecting things, going to garage/estate sales, used book-record stores etc. It's an involving experience. And it can be really cheap. As well, you can be the "different" kid on the block. Also like th... | |
| TAD Rocks Big Time Know anywhere I can get one of them 150 Signature's? I hope the website is wrong stating that there are only 300 sold in the U.S.What do you use for a power amp? Any problems matching it? | |
| Amp Basics: Tube Preamp w/Solid State Power Amp. Thinking of this combo....(of course, I'm a newbie and am entirely open to suggestion and criticism)... just been reading various reviews on the internet.

| GIRL NEWBIE Oh one more thing, as a generalization, audiophiles (like those on Audiogon) take care of their equipment. And love to upgrade for the hell of it...it's a hobby after all. Looking through the ads and reading the reviews etc for a while, you get an... | |
| GIRL NEWBIE I'm kinda in the same boat. I started thinking budget, but after you start getting into it and reading a bit, you kind of throw that out the window. Vinyl is especially expensive, I think it's worth it but there is the table, then cartridge and mo... | |
| "Mini" to Optical for Airport Express OH just to clarify, the six moon review claims that the signal out of certain toslink cables (Wireworld superNova and Van Den Hun Optocoupler $100) are at least equal to much more expensive co-axial cables.Since the AE only streams digital out of ... | |
