Modwright Transporter VS Transporter w/DAC
dan:what's the difference between the basic transporter mod and the platinum signature truth mod? besides $500. :) 
Different grades of Optical cables?
i might be mistaken but i don't believe your standard toslink optical cable is the same as a glass optical cable. it's quite possible that the difference you're hearing between your dvd player and your cd player is due to the dac inside your recei... 
Blu-Spec Kind Of Blue
where is this disc available? i might purchase it just because my copy of kind of blue is crazy hissy. is this new blue spec release "quieter"? 
AT&T cables with ST-BNC connectrs does it work ?
i could be wrong, but the ST connector uses a fiber optic cable inside while a BNC cable uses a copper/silver wire inside. the fiber optic cable sends data as modulations in light while the BNC bales sends data as voltage down the wire. i can't im... 
Plinius vs Dynaudio Contour S3.4?
is there a question here? if you already own the plinius then you should know how it synergizes with the dynaudio. if you're asking who'd win in a fight, i'd take the dynaudio with a tko win in the 7th round, but the plinius will give it a run for... 
skipping
i had a problem like this too. all my flac files had skips in them. the only thing i could ever figure was that i was using my computer (multi-tasking) while ripping to flac. i had to re-rip everything. i now rip to .wav and don't touch the comput... 
Replace au24 speaker cable???

why still buy a cd player?
i use a squeezebox 3 connected to a 47 labs shigaraki dac. i could not tell the difference between the sb3 and the shigaraki transport i was previously using. the 47 labs transport and the sb3 were compared using a supratek dual cabernet preamp, y... 
does anybody have core furniture racks
FYI:for anybody owning core furniture products, i spoke with arnold recently regarding the care of the wood and he recommended "howard feed-n-wax". it is a wood preserver/polish made with beeswax, carnauba wax, and orange oil. i picked up a 16 oz.... 
Best way to clean Piano Gloss
well, you should contact the manufacturer first, but i use car wax and a microfiber cloth on my von schweikert dB99 speakers. 
FLAC or Windows Lossless for music archive?
i also have an external hard drive (500 GB) and a squeezebox 3. i store my cd's via wav on the drive. i have over 400 albums and am using only a little over half of the 500 GB. many people feel flac is instinguishable from wav. flac is also consid... 
CDP's being dumped for hard drive driven units?
i sold my 47 labs transport in favor of a squeezebox 3. i still use my 47 labs dac though. now i'm eyeballing the transporter. 
What is "Blu-spec CD"?
supposedly the cd's were burned with a blue laser which is more accurate and reduces jitter.http://www.audioholics.com/news/industry-news/sony-turns-the-cd-blu
