CDP's being dumped for hard drive driven units?
It seems to me that the niche would be a good SACD player with a "digital in" that could properly handle a usb signal from a computer. I don't know the specs of every SACD player w a dig in but I don't think there's one out there properly converti... 
Internet Radio: Audiophile or no?
I was listening to a jazz station last night and enjoyed really good imaging. I'll be tuning in more often. Very enjoyable!

Krell VS McIntosh
I've had both and they are very system dependant (like everything else I suppose). What speakers, size of room, listening habbits etc, etc.

Sell the super tweater and buy a super sub. 
Life without a remote
I've been living without a remote for the past couple of years. A couple of months ago I started using my IPhone to control a Mac server. Who would have guessed the biggest leap in musical enjoyment would come in the form of a phone. I can look at... 
BAT, ARC, VAC, Shindo?
WrpWhat's the price on the Corton-Charlamagne's? From the name I would guess the price of an old Porche. I think I remember reading somewhere that DeVore said his favorite Shindo amp was the Cortese. 
BAT, ARC, VAC, Shindo?
Do you have a sub? A good sub might be fun to try. You could take a little load off the VAC and give it a little more headroom for those high spl nights. 
BAT, ARC, VAC, Shindo?

Help w/Power Conditioning: Shunyata, Furman, RGPC?

Help w/Power Conditioning: Shunyata, Furman, RGPC?
Is there any way to get two dedicated lines? Either way, I recommend two power conditioners. One for your mac mini, screen and all "other" things and one for your amp and dac. You really want to separate the computer if you can.As far as specific ... 
First SACD to Listen To?
I didn't think DSOM was that much better. The George Harrison "Live in Japan" was a let down. I was also disappointed with 461 Ocean Blvd which really bummed me out because that is one of my favorite Eric Clapton albums. Wish I could find a good r...
