If Money Were No Object... A Fantasy Question
I'd throw a HUGE toga party and have the Bare Naked Ladies play at it, cuz they're musically talented and pretty damned funny guys. Opening band? George Thoroughgood, can't beat good old George for party music! The invite list would be all my frie... 
Who has a modified Shanling CD-T100?
F155mph,I've been to Honk Kong twice now (just got back on Sunday) and have not seen any Shanling stuff. Odd, I know. Plenty of Cayin available though. Next time I'm in Shenzhen (where Shanling designs/builds their stuff) I'll make some inquiries.... 
Maple Audio Works Ambience I.C.
Hi Rocc,I love 'em! I compared them against a whole whack of different cables and for the price they're pretty hard to beat. Smooth, yet detailed with a nice solid bottom end to them, they may not be the last word in imaging but they get the infam... 
Melos Audio Restoration going strong...
See above... obviously the lunatic fringe is alive and (sort of) well. Your rants are far from inspiring, thought-provoking, or appreciated here. Do your parents know you're using their computer rather than doing your homework? And yes Einstein Jr...

Mile high,You're an ill-informed, bitter, self-important, pompous ass. Good thing you're a shill and not a regular contributor here, your kind is not welcome. 
cd player with volume control
Agree with the tiredude, STFA 
Spade adapters
Hi John,I'd suggest you strongly consider cutting the spades off and converting your wires to banana. It's very easy to crimp a WBT collar on the bare cable, then use either WBT0644 Midline bananas, or treat yourself and get the most excellent WBT... 
Audiophiles & music-have you got it wrong?
Ben and company,Clearly it's all about the music, no other logical reason to accumulate quality gear. That being said, time marches on and also becomes a very rare commodity so expanding an already volumonous music collection can't always be a pri...

Gents, I applaud Mooncrikit's character and eloquence, good on you. If I owned a service business that made my customers wait unreasonably long and was so busy I couldn't proactively communicate with them I'd hire more techs and train them under t... 
Do You Remember Your First CD Player?
It was VERY early on for me, there were two CD's available when I bought my machine (1812 Overture and Peter Gabriel). It was a Yamaha Natural Sound CD-X1 (I think)... I bought it thinking the days of caring for vinyl were over. No more cleaning r... 
this should open the floodgates: BEST home theater
VideoGon should have their own discussion board

ipod and dac?
Three things have kept me from buying an iPod:The first thing is price, iPods are VERY expensive re-packaged hard drives. A 40 gig hard drive (40.9 MAXTOR 7200 LIQUID 6E040L0) sells for $60. A 40 gig iPod sells for $499. Nice case, batteries, and ... 
Martin Logans and Smokers
I own ML's but never smoked in the house, can't help you. Quit smoking December 10th, feel pretty damned good!

Max,I am indeed on the western tip of the island of Montreal, about 20 minutes from downtown. My office is in Ottawa but I spend the majority of my time traveling through the United States and Asia. Best, Jeff
