I will have to check what water wings are.EDIT: Thanks to the Internet, I figured out what water wings are. No need for them. I am yet to meet a wading pool I cannot stand in.

| Funny how streaming/digital still chases that analog benchmark. "Funny thing is that nearly every review I read on DACS, etc is how close they sound to analog."Could it be because people writing reviews are different crowd/demographics than most of the music listeners out there? They want what they decided it ... | |
| Funny how streaming/digital still chases that analog benchmark. "...the shallow end of the pool, you know the end you hang out in."This one? skypunk's System rev 4 - Virtual Systems (audiogon.com) | |
| Funny how streaming/digital still chases that analog benchmark. skypunk,"I was conversing with another member and not you."You were doing it in an open Internet forum. Expect it to be read.How does a person with so much expertise in bearings succeed to be unbearable? It must be hard work. | |
| Funny how streaming/digital still chases that analog benchmark. skypunk,You are an amazing man.Is bragging on an Internet audio forum about provenance of parts for military equipment acceptable, or is it considered at least slightly silly?Have you ever considered hitching a ride on a Mars rover? | |

| CD player reliability.... good and bad. Could the secret be in the drive that certain models were using?I read somewhere, and some time in the past, about manufacturers of laser assemblies and that whole thing. If I understood it correctly, there was a limited number of manufacturers so... | |
| Funny how streaming/digital still chases that analog benchmark. "Joke all you want, you know it's true, the standard is analog."Hanging out with stuffy old people much?The standard has, for decades now, been digital. 17-year-olds do not even know what you are talking about. | |
| Magico Customer service "In terms of customer service I have some horrible news for you. Magico did not answer my emails whatsoever. So i have zero respect for magico."May it be because you contacted wrong department? Customer service usually deals with customers. | |
| CD player reliability.... good and bad. "Are any top loading CD+SACD players currently made?"Great question.Qualia 007 used to be some sort of a top-loader, but not exactly what comes to mind as "top-loader". I wonder how was the realiability on them. I doubt it was many of them, though... | |
