How often is your system "good"?
Interesting comments paraneer and wlutke, for me my system sounds great on Friday evening when my wife and daughter are out and with a beer (or two). I suppose after the bustle of the week and no opportunity to listen, Friday's seem magical. 
Worst Rock Band Ever !!!!
I've got it.....Foreigner and Bread. Not sure that you could call Bread rock and roll, as a matter of fact I'm not sure what you call it. 
Budget Audiophile Looking For Amplifier Suggestions
Don't know about year of manufacture but a good solid 2-channel amp in your price range would be a Cambridge Audio 840W. 
Patricia Barber, Cafe Blue "un-mastered"
I will echo what Dave had to say. I have the "Live Fortnight" CD as well and it's outstanding. 
Quack System Upgrades
I heard about an audio tweak that is supposed to enhance the sound of any audio system. It involves a particular green weed that only grows in certain locales. Supposedly it has to be harvested at just the correct time to obtain the full audible e... 
To reclock or not to reclock
At this point keith, I'm not qualified to answer your question. The ifi purifier uses a Femto clock so I'm not sure you would be gaining anything. Here is a link to their sight with some information.http://ifi-audio.com/portfolio-view/accessory-sp... 
The $3,600 gamble
I like your analogy last, I think it's appropriate from a visual perspective. As I read through this thread I couldn't help but think to myself "Gee, I bought my whole system without hearing any of my components" which is probably something I shou... 
Patricia Barber, Cafe Blue "un-mastered"
I'm with Dave here. I challenge anyone to play both the original redbook version and then the "un-mastered" version and tell me they like the un-mastered better.  I knew something was not right literally on the opening bass notes and it had nothin... 
Patricia Barber, Cafe Blue "un-mastered"
Erik,Really? I have quite a collection of audiophile CD's and the original redbook version of Cafe Blue tops most of them. I understand that all systems are different and each listener has different tastes but on my system the audio quality of the... 
Power conditioner
The place to start is asking yourself what it is you’re trying to accomplish. Saying you want a power conditioner is like saying you want a new car, what should I buy? You certainly don’t want to buy a Volkswagen Beetle if you need a pick up truck... 
To reclock or not to reclock
Thanks wtf, this sounds like a plausible solution. 
Why no audio from Netflix?
Aha, problem solved! It seems there is a typical issue with Netflix audio on external devices. I read a thread where Panasonic owners were told to contact Netflix to solve the problem and vice versa without resolution. Interestingly this is not ju... 
To reclock or not to reclock
erik,Thank you for the info., are you referring to a streamer or DAC?  
To reclock or not to reclock
Thanks for the replies. I guess my question boils down to.......do I buy a reclocker for the Sonos and if so which one? Or, do I just go with the Auralic? Since typing my original question I have also read up on the Auralic Aries and may just hold... 
Who is Most Beautiful female singer ever
I would agree with some of the other posters here that looks alone are irrelevant. I think Patricia Barber has an amazing voice but she is not as good looking as some, but I don’t care. On the other hand if you are looking for overall looks and vo...
