Battle of the BAT's, VK-60 vs. VK-220
Cdma,I had an Aleph 3 in my home for a month and was able to compare it at length to my VK200. It's interesting, because in my many ways especially tonally I thought they were quite similar.The VK200 presents a noticeably wider soundstage than the...

Best big flat screen under 4k
Eric,I've been hearing good things about the Samsung 43" and 50 " flat screen DLP projection TVs as well.At a street price between $2950-$3500 and with a depth of only 16" and weighing only 68-80lbs each, they seem like real contenders without som... 
ipod and dac?
Thanks guys for putting the proper perspective on everything. Like anything I guess, it all comes down to smart usage and good file management.Onhwy61, using your scheme of mass copying and deleting, fragmentation should be quite minimal. And, if ...
