| HDMI cable differences i noticed big differences in hdmi cables regarding audio. only noticed slight differences regarding video. unlike Mr Tennis who posted above, i much prefer solid silver (not plated) over copper or copper/silver hdmi lines for audio. liked silver/c... | |
| Robin Trower 2nd Bridge of Sighs. love it from start to finish. saw them in a 3000 seat auditorium in Hammond Indiana back in the day. what a kick ass show that was! | |

| Sony XA-5400es VS Oppo 83SE to funny...i never even thought to look on ebay!. got the same deal from a reputable local dealer for once. decided to go with it, even though it meant sales tax. $1199 seems to be the going discounted rate for now. have not seen them much cheaper... | |

| 6+ year old pc/os. should i upgrade? many thanks Al. didn't think about the benefits of multi hard drives. the upgraded pc's i've looked at could easily have 2 1T drives and a third smaller C drive. can use the new 1T drive i already have and add a 500m drive to the new one. am leani... | |

| Using a PS Audio Perfectwave Dac as a music server Tag-n-play app issue's reared their ugly heads tonight. the app will change the player selection on its own....kinda like a delayed default or ghost switching it. if you're in the player screen/mode and catch it, you can reset the PWD as the playe... | |
| Mark Levinson 432 vs 532 vs 532H happy 432 owner here. recently had a chance to hear the 532 and was very impressed. no chance to compare directly with my 432 but the 532 sounded fantastic to my ears. matched with the right gear, i think it would be a fantastic amp to own.that be... | |

| Apple to download 24 bit in iTunes? agree with James and Woot. maybe the general public can't tell the difference but any audio head that does some critical listening on a "good" system will hear it imho. a well recorded 24/96(+) sounds better then a well recorded 16/44..... it was ... | |
| Using a PS Audio Perfectwave Dac as a music server thanks everyone. got my bridge today. up and streaming in about 1 hour. amazingly easy process, even for a old computer illiterate fool like myself. can't comment to much on sound quality yet, but it sounds pretty good. will do some critical liste... |
