Mabonn, I had impression that AE is limited to 16 bit, but if it is the case you should have no sound at all. 
CD cleaning question
Dust should not be a problem since CDP error corrects scratches up to 4mm along the track. Bringing dust inside CDP is bad but wiping CD too often with dry cloth is not good either. When wiping use radial motion to avoid making micro-scratches alo... 
Do you ever just listen to music
strong correlation between musical talent and math aptitudeCorrelation is a dangerous word, since it might suggest that one thing is causing another. For instance: There is a strong correlation between tattoos and motorcycle accidents (tattoos are... 
Why does the recording sound better?
The most efficient backup would be hard drive. I also use Tayio Yuden CD-R. They invented CD-R. Another great, but expensive, is Mitsui Gold. 
Why does the recording sound better?
Rpg, CDP cannot read each sector multiple times since it is operating in real time. Small errors like scratches up to 4mm along the track will be corrected while scratches longer than 8mm will be audible (pops). Between 4 and 8mm player interpolat... 
Do you ever just listen to music
Guilty as charged. I envy people who can listen to orchestral music on table top radio. They can hear only about 50% of instruments and still enjoy the music.

Matt, I read your modem's data and it doesn't say it is dual band meaning it isn't (most common). http://www.2wire.com/pages/pdfs/5100-000383-000_2W_Rev_B_0107.pdfIt also looks dated since it isn't 802.11n. My Cisco Linksys E2500 is only a wireles... 
CDP speed control
How do you know that radio version is right. In addition many song versions were recorded almost identical but at slightly different pace (different studio sessions). It is hard to get wrong CD speed since it is self adjusting system. It is adjust... 
Made in America
Mrtennis, what do you mean by "American company"? Most of companies are international. Is "Phillips-USA" American or Dutch company. They still have small building there to signify their origin. Is Telefunken German (bought by Vishay)? We can ask w... 
what Fi?
I always thought it was proportional to the thickness of the front panel.....Ghostrider45, you're almost there - it's a weight of the gear. Hi-Fi is when you cannot lift it!

You most likely get dropouts caused by interference like microwave oven. Changing channel helps but I ended up replacing router with dual band Linksys. My AE operates now only on 5GHz where there is very little traffic since dual band routers are ... 
SACD-R
In order to create SACD-R you need to bypass strong copy protection and create pit-width modulation that player is looking for. AFAIK there is no hardware that can do that. 
Hook up Plasma TV to Audio system
Eagleman6722, I intended to buy Panasonic Plasma and connect it to my DAC in 2 channel (PCM only) system but found out that it does not have DOLBY/PCM optical output format selection in the menu. It outputs automatically PCM with NTSC and DOLBY wi...

I second Czbbcl, you need to join existing network since AE does not work in peer-to-peer mode. You need to enter name and security code with Ethernet cable connected to your computer.
