| A Highly Unusual Topic! @flatbackround. Not well known, but true: Ambergris is found in the s**t of sperm whales. Makes you wonder who thought of adding it to perfumes.@baclagg.: I'm with you, but more in the single malt scotch club. It's amazing how even a single applic... | |

| Why perfect speakers dont exist the truth revealed I know nothing about speaker design, so didn't really follow the concrete wall idea. Is the thought just that a speaker should be in a rigid non-resonant enclosure? If so, it sounds like a quick and easy backyard project for a DIYer (not me). Just... | |

| Transport identification Huh -- what happened here? | |
| Which is more important in transmitting the sound, the information... Not sure why this question is causing so much confusion. The OP is asking whether he/she should first upgrade the CD to pre-amp or the pre-amp to amp IC.And I'll avoid the short answer (which is that interconnects don't make much difference) becau... | |
