| Music from hard drive better than CD? Just to give you some idea of what is possible of just a modest computer in terms of streaming music. As I write and send this I am simultaneously listening to Mindy Smith streaming from my external hard drive to my system, while a CD drive is rip... | |
| Music from hard drive better than CD? Thanks for the update on the current PC's and Windows OS. It has been a while since I last played around on one, so that's all news to me indeed. Glad to hear the OS has improved.This particular site puts a G4 Mac Laptop against a Dell Inspiron Po... | |
| Some random thoughts for Tube newbies How often do underwear and socks require biasing?Depends on the amount of leakage.I spring the extra $ for the black ones for that very reason. NOS Calvin Kleins are superior in every respect to anything being made currently. You'd have to spend a... | |
| How Big is Your Music Collection One day at a time Jack! No offense was intended, in case you may have taken it that way. Many of my closest friends are compulsive. Addictions take many forms. I totally get it! Been there myself. You should see my Hello Kitty collection!Marco | |

| How Big is Your Music Collection Jes45 - That's only about a year and a half of music playing 24/7....a bit more if you factor in all the lp cleaning and flipping sides. You may need a bit of time to swap out that stylus too. You're gonna get awfully bored after that year and a h... | |
| YBA Passion Integrated or ML 383 It's a damn shame you can't consult two of the most lengthy threads in recent A'gon history, both started by the very same user whose name I will not mention. Both have been terminated with extreme prejudice by the powers that be with near 100 car... | |
