| DAC RFI, creates noise for tuner The only solution is to keep all of the digital equipment turned off when listening to the tuner. I have the same problem because of all my digital equipment. In my system I have 3 DAT's, 2 minidisc decks, DVD player, and cd player. If I have more... | |
| Which track do you demo to your friends? I let my friends pick whatever they want to listen to out of my collection. If it's my choice 2 of my favorites are James Newton Howard and Friends(sheffield) or Madonna- The Immaculate Collection(gold import version). I also like to use Dead Can ... | |

| Best blues guitarist, Clapton or Green So many of you guys are so lucky to have seen so many great performers. I wish I could say the same. I didn't really get into blues until the past 5 years or so and I'll always kick myself for not going to see SRV when he was here in Cedar Rapids,... | |

| Feelings on Napster? It's still free music for the end user. I don't pay the fees, but I still get to listen. Is that stealing? | |
| Feelings on Napster? Right on Carl! I sure hope they don't search my hard drive and arrest me for stealing. It might be kind of hard to come up with a defense for 2700 counts of theft! | |
| Will my speakers be damaged if I use Don't worry about to much power! Just use some common sense with the volume control. In the past I used a pair PSB 400's with a Parasound HCA 1200 II (220 wpc) at some pretty rediculous levels and never damaged a thing. Now that I have enough spac... | |
| Phono Subsonics check your pre-amp, some have a subsonic filter that is switchable. | |

| REmastered classic CD's I have bought a ton of remasters over the past few years and I still am amazed at how much better most of these sound. The best way to explain why there is a difference is just plain taking the time to do it right and much better analog to digital... |
