| Who has found happiness giving up cd player? Quality? I've spent years building this system with sound quality always the number one priority. Why would you assume it is not? I'm absolutely sure it can be better but I'll put my system up against just about anything out there.. | |
| Who has found happiness giving up cd player? Right, it sure is a pain to have all of my music arranged by any of about 30 different ways (artist, genre, album, etc.) and be able to access any of them with just a few clicks of a mouse and the ability to do this from my comfy chair, the abilit... | |
| Vinyl records Identical??How do you know? I have many of the same title but they are from different pressings, different masterings, different lots of things.. | |
| Billy Bags Cracked Glass I've seen turn table bases made out of wood and acrylic, but never out of glass.Think about it!Just curious....have you actually tried it or just making assumptions based on what you believe to be true about the characteristics of glass?glass turn... | |

| Why not horns? Macro, you seem to be all shot in the butt with "experts." Why should I believe Bill Woods web site any more than I believe other horn maker's web sites. He says his way is best. DUH! What would you expect him to say. If you visit other horn maker... | |

A Computer and a high end DAC that the computer will talk to is the current SOTA.It is so much cheaper to distr... | |
| Why not horns? The difference is that some frequencies started before others. The delayed ones are a full cycle behind. They are still phase coherent but not time coherent.It's not that simple. What you describe can only apply to steady state sine waves. Music i... | |
