CD/DVD storage units
I love my "the cube"'s by www.lorentzdesign.com (800) 933-0403. They are well made and attractive and have stood up to years of use. They each store 306Cds and are stackable. You could easily stand on them without any give. You can see what they l...

Northstar 192 Transport and DAC - comments
Well, I have had the NorthStar now for about two weeks. Initially I was unsure in that it did not have quite the dynamics of my previous Aragon D2A2 DAC. The NorthStar appears a bit more laid back in general and particularly in the trebbile and mi...

Newbee - great question. Ideally I would like to do both. I am very open to exploring new pieces - a real treasure hunt!I play classical on a 6'8" Kawai Grand but not as skillfully as I would like, and therefore love piano music. I, of course, hav...

Jolida JD100 vs MF A3.2 vs Ah Njoe Tjoeb 4000
If you will go used. Get any decent Cd player that has digital out, or transport and plug it into the Agaron D2A2 DAC. There is an Aragon DAC for sale for $399 on Augiogon, in the second or third page of DAC listings. It is smooth and detailed wit... 
Spikes versus wall coupling
TWL I was the one who started this thread and I would love to hear what your ideas are on vibration control. No need to response to Barry or others point by point, rather just give your feelings on the best way the deal with 185 lbs speakers on wo...
