Rogue Zues with Vandersteen 5A's at 2004 HE Show

SoundLab A-1 vs Martin Logan CLS IIz's
Audiokinesis: Thanks so much for your tremendous help. Your knowledge of electrostats is comprehensive and very helpful. Based in our discussion, I think I'll try to find SoundLabs without wooden cores if and when I'm ready to make a switch. Duke ... 
Experiences with SlimDevices Squeezebox.
Hi Everybody:I picked up the Xitel Pro-HiFi link for $99 at a local CompUSA today. Very impressive indeed. It can play all my file types (AIFF, WAV, etc.). It also has both toslink and digital coax output. I simply plugged a USB cable into my comp...
