Are Disc Players Dead?
Sorry Al, I that's such a small possiblity, I don't worry about that, not a realistic sceneario. 
Are Disc Players Dead?
Al, I lost a bunch of drives too, that's why I paid up for the Drobo after much research, and loss of some priceless digital video footage of our chidren (thank God we found the actual digital tapes), and of course then having to re-load hundreds ...

I use a Drobo for a network drive. Just plugged into my router. It backs itself up, very cool, and I can hot swap any 2 of the 5 drives that fail without any loss of data.It works!!

Originals vs. reissues/current issues

Need tonearm advice for Clearaudio Innovation Wood
Sgunther, I'm with you, when I have heard the TransFi Terminator it has been sublime. A buddy has one on his Technics SP10 MKII, and it's absolutely stellar. Dead quiet, tracks like nothing I have ever seen, massive soundstage, and is relativly ch...

Nglazer, That's just dead wrong. All you need to do it download iTunes and use AIFF or Apple Loseless files though a good DAC (just buy an AppleTV for $99 to run it through your home stereo via Toslink). Done.I doubt many people in this day and ag...

Dhl93449, as many have already said on here, this is an easily solved potential problem. 1) back up hard drive2) internet back up - done once to an internet based source, then every night it automatically updates any changes from your home based h...
