| What are you streaming tonight? Last Boezem by Kayak now Where the River Flows by Collective Soul.Started off with Bach Prelude and Fugue in A Minor played by Anthony Newman on a wonderful sounding VoxBox CD. | |
| OHM Acoustics ‘B2’ electrodynamic speaker That's one I was not aware of but it looks like a mini Ohm I, a model that I have never heard anything bad about and owners seem to covet. | |

| A way to listen to a large collection In my main system I use Squeezebox Touch to external mhdt Constantine Dac or Squeezepad or Plex app on Ipad to Chord Mojo DAC. I my second smaller system I use Plex app on Amazon Fire TV box to Bel Canto c5i digital integrated amp. | |

| Newer cars without cd players-what now? The built in hard disk drive (HDD) is part of the Acura TLX technology package, not a base level feature, I am pretty certain.It supposedly tags with album information and art when ripped to, much like ripping a CD to disk storage at home.Album ar... | |

If your floors are suspended plywood (they have some give and vibrate if you jump up and down). isolating stands like Isoacoustics will clean ... | |
