What Happens When You Die?
WhaT happens when you die? I heard the music is heavenly unless you go the other direct then its Bose. 
Bang and Olufsen
thanks for the feedback. With such wonderful style, a shame that the sonics are not better on their new stuff. But as we always say, have a listen. If I get a chance to do this - I will. 
What does listening to a speaker really tell us?
Intersting post - as a psychologist (we study human perception) one thing that I am aware of is how quickly the mind bores of the same. We are designed to notice change and are usually pleased with it, if it is non-threatening. Variety is the spic... 
Music you didn't like at first... but now?
Didn't know Warrens had a new album out - thanks, will do. Always liked Famous Blue Raincoat for a few of the songs by Lenord Cohen 
Music you didn't like at first... but now?
Because of posts here. I re-listened to Jennifer Warrrens Hunter CD on my good system - fabulous. Prior I had only heard it in my car,had not paid very careful attention to it, and had it in my give away pile. 
Love it, or Hate it ? (wood trim)
I think it (wood trim) is dumb but would judge a product primarily by sonics and reliablity - never say never 
CD Help
I just bought a NorthStar 192 Transport and DAC - see thread with that title - and like them very much. I think you get them new on Audiogon for about $2,800 though they retail for 5K 
Proposal - lets share our treasures
Jax and Newbee great suggestions. Jax's "What is your Latest discovery" is great to build from. How do we go about putting in categories as newbee is suggesting? 
Northstar 192 Transport and DAC - comments
Thanks Nicksgem - I think I have the Rev cable. Is it a pinkish color? I am away from home now so cant check the cable brand I have but it was about $260 new 
Proposal - lets share our treasures
Thanks Slip knot - I agree it is a good thread. I had by-passed it because it is titled "whats on your turntable tonight?" and I dont have much vinyl. Mostly play redbook CD.

Thanks George. Today everyone was out of the house and I listened to Bach T&F in Dm really loud, yet supremely musical - yes!!!! Northstar rocks! 
The quest for power
I like my Aragon dual monblock 8008BB amp. Fills my 38X22 room without going past 10 PM on the dial. Its in your price range 
Very Small Desktop Speakers
I use Cambridge Sound works Model Twelve with my computer at my desk. The speakers are about 3X5". This is also a great portable system with the case becoming a subwoofer. Comes with a sweet little 1X6" amp that wiull accept either dierct from you...
