Sonos Questions
I've had a Sonos system with eight zones for the past year. Just switched my computer system to an iMac and having no problems. I run my music library from a Buff Tech 1.0 TB Terastation Pro with no problems. My Zonos ZP80's digital out goes to my... 
Sonos VS CD Transport
Tboooe, agree completely about keeping the CD player-- it's can be handy on occasion and the DAC in the Sim SuperNova is comparable to many of the stand alone DACs that I looked at. 
Sonos VS CD Transport
I just finished switching to a Sonos setup for my house and my two channel system. I have three ZP80s and four ZP 100s, all of which run nine sets of speakers in seven zones. I looked at integrating my current Crestron controller to provide whole ... 
Sonos turns your house into an ipod
I replaced my five year old router with a new one ($70 Netgear) and hooked up the Buffalo Technologies Terastation to it and was up and running in about 15 mintues. The Sonos setup took less than that. So far I've had no computer reliability issue...

Von Schweikert VR4jr's in a 15' x 12' Room?
I have had VR-4 Jrs for a year in my room which is 15 x 16. I don't think you will have any problems in your room. The speakers are excellent and respond very well to simple tweaks in their positioning. I solved my bass problem (too LITTLE at my l... 
Von Schweikert VR4JR Set Up
I found that toe in really helped in my room (about 16 x 16). It made the soundstage really open up. 
Best Tube Preamp for JC-1 Monoblocks?
I have a pair of JC-1s and I use the Rogue 99 Magnum. Rogue Audio will also modify the pre-amp to have balanced outputs for a small extra charge. As good pre-amps go, the Rogue is not terribly expensive and it is an outstanding match for the JC-1s...
