Any Young Audiophiles Out There?
Macd - Greater demand maybe, but there will be much greater demand for 3D music/video players for 8 years old. I think that it is a general trend toward younger and younger generations. Just look how it has already changed. 10 year old girl said "... 
Is there a consensus as to blu ray sound quality?
Lrsky - I don't have enough experience to judge and I use digital for the practicality of it. It doesn't make much difference to me what sounds better if I cannot buy record at all. If digital is inherently flawed, as you suggested, how about soun... 
Any Young Audiophiles Out There?
Long time ago market was oriented toward older people and everybody wanted to be older (you wouldn't name car company Oldsmobile today). Today teenagers and children drive marked and they don't buy LP or SACD. It's great that in age of 20 you can ... 
Is there a consensus as to blu ray sound quality?
Lrsky - there is nothing wrong with digital (just look at HDTV)and the most of LPs pressed now are made from digital masters. My friend who works in recording studio says that they have in "junk room" multitrack tape recorders that costed an arm a...

Ryder - It depends what you're touching. If it's grounded case then chances of damage are very low. What if you connect and disconnect something and touch input (or output). Even if you discharge yourself by touching ground or grounded case you mi... 
verdict on class D amps?
Jaymark - I assumed that.

Inputs (and outputs) are protected to human body model 2kV/2ns standard at best. You can easily get tens of kV on your body in dry room with carpets. Assembly houses that build boards for many manufacturers have very stringent static control. Ever... 
The best "imaging" speakers?
At some concerts acoustic is really bad and in the places where acoustics is great I cannot get and often afford good seat. Listening at home I have the best seat in the house. 
verdict on class D amps?
You're welcome. 
Bel Ref1000s OR M300s + Gallo refrence S.A. amp?
I went with Rowland because it was $100 less and better built. Instead of pre I picked Benchmark DAC1 and cheap Sony DVD player. Now I'm independent of transport and have DVD and MP3 sound in addition. I don't have analog sources. If you looking a... 
verdict on class D amps?
I hesitated between AZ Satori and some other cable until I found few reviews that complained about a little fuller lower midrange - that was exactly what I needed. AQ Indigo was, in comparison, very thin sounding. Satori is not only more refined (... 
Is there a consensus as to blu ray sound quality?
Lrsky - Better laser might provide better results with less than perfect disks if its optimized for that (blue ray might not be). Shortcomings of digital comes not only from resolution but mostly from unfortunate sampling rate of 44.1kHz. Just ima...

If you don't have anything damaged now you will. Why not to use portable humidifier? 
Is there a consensus as to blu ray sound quality?
That's what I think. If error correction works and there is no jitter I don't see what else can be improved in reading process.Higher resolution can be obtained in digital filtering (think averaging)but it stops short of 20-bits because of DACs. I... 
verdict on class D amps?
Jaymark - that was my impression. SS integrated, I had before class D amp, sounded in comparison "brassy". I'm not sure, with my limited experience, how best amp should sound, but I have very liquid smooth sound now. Sibilants, I had before, disap...
