Neodio NR22 Cd player - thoughts?
SoMusic if you like the sound of the EMM which I think you do, I don't think you will like the Neodio. They are opposite in sound. The Neodio is warm and very organic sounding. The EMM is very open and detailed and to my ears thin in the midrange.... 
Audio Desk Record Cleaner-Anyone buy one yet
I think the ideal way to dry a record after the Audio Desk would be to use the Clearaudio record cleaning machine that dries both sides at the same time. I think you would be looking at some serious change. 
How many still listen to CD's daily.
When I am listening I only want to use the best source. The only place for a server is a party or if you are working and not able to sit in the sweet spot for more than a few minutes. 
What's with all the Sony 5400ES units for sale?
I have the modwright oppo 95 tube player. I had the Sony modright player and like the oppo better. 
Lossless Files Vs CD's
Audioengr will Amarra 2.4 or Pure Music 1.82 convert flac to wav. and do they work with apple. In other wards do you have to set I tunes off. Which one do you like better as to amarra or pure music? 
Lossless Files Vs CD's

Aesthetix IO Eclipse
The AR phono stage is good, but no way does it compete with the aesthetix. 
Crisp sounding tubes for Modwright 5400ES

Brand new silver power cord is bright sounding
How true you just gave the definition of a music lover vs an audiophile. The audiophile wants to get the most resolution he can and really believes he enjoys the music he hears while the music lover wants to get enough resolution and enjoy his col... 
Aesthetix IO Eclipse
Whoever had the Io Sig. and then sold it, def. is an audiophile. The Io is one of the best phono stages out there. Its imaging, texture, and dynamics are first rate. If you love chamber classical and jazz quartets you are in for a real treat. It i... 
Has anyone heard the SimAudio 650D?
The PD player is not very good. I like my Modright tube modded Oppo 95 better than the PD. 
Hum from my home theater's speakers
Most subwoofers come with a cheater plug. Place a cheater plug on the sub. A cheater plug can be bought at Home Depot, it turns a three prong plug into a two prong plug thus lifting the ground. 
Sony XA-5400es player...Giant Killer or just Ok?
No, I am just commenting on your statement that if you are thinking of modding a player your better off buying a better player. I'm trying to get across that this is not the case. 
Sony XA-5400es player...Giant Killer or just Ok?
Missioncoonery, I should have stated I owned the Modright tube modded Sony XA-5400ES as well as the Oppo and both players were better than the PD. I kept the Oppo because I liked it better in my system. Yes you are entitled to your opinion, but yo...
