Is There a New version of Logitech Media Server?
ML,Thanks. I thought that was the case but had not checked recently. That makes the situation a lot more manageable. Hopefully the existing support resources continue to be made available for well into the future as long as existing SB clients con... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Probably worth saying that if there is still an "achilles heel" to any extent with Class D amps, the top end is probably where it will be. Similar to what is often discussed with digital versus analog, but not exactly the same in a technical sense... 
Tubes vs Solid State
Wolf,I like the way you think!VU meters also glow and are way cool!!! I do miss them also. My squeezebox Touch devices have a VU AND a graphic Equalizer display mode, but I can only use one mode at a time. I need two SBs so I can have all those pr... 
Tubes vs Solid State
"TG, I think the The Map was just having some fun....RIGHT MAPMAN??!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IF you can't have some fun with cool looking glowy things like tubes, what is there to live for?Well, I have received a few shocks and burns over the years from gadg... 
Tubes vs Solid State
Tube,My tubes are hidden in my ARC sp16. They sound really good but do their thing out of site. I'd like to see more of them if possible, but of well....My mhdt Paradisea has 1 visible tube and a see through plexiglass case that lets the light shi... 
Is There a New version of Logitech Media Server?
I had one instance in the past where a LMS upgrade caused problems more than it helped in my case running on common Windows platform.Everything has been working well, so I will be holding off for now until things are reported as more stable.My gut... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Mamboni is a classical musician and OHm Walsh affectionado that at last report was very happy with Wyred4Sound Class D. It was his experience that helped peak my Class D amp/OHM interest. I opted to splurge on the BCs rather than "cur corners" wit... 
Tubes vs Solid State
Tubes are fascinating devices from an electrical engineering perspective but to the less technically educated masses, I think the fact that tubes glow and look cool have something to do with their longevity and cult following. Transistors are bori... 
What Are The Top 5 Audiophile Shows In The USA?
Have made Capital Audifest 2 of 4 years in existence. Could not make it this year. Its the only one relatively close to me, so that makes it the best from my perspective. Seriously, both of my experiences there were very enjoyable. Lots of good, d... 
Excellent Customer Service
Nice to hear good stories. Those who deliver good customer service deserve to get good press accordingly. Often its the squeaky wheels that get the grease while the good ones go unnoticed. 
Song With Best Beginning
On a similar theme, song with best ending is "I'm Just A Singer in a Rock and Roll Band". Ends the song, the album and the classic 7 period of the Moody Blues most fittingly similar to how "The End" on Abbey Road provided a fitting ending to The B... 
Marian McPartland
In addition to her musical talents, the way she handled herself on air told a lot about the quality of the person. 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Yes, OHMs and shrillness are not a natural match, but I have heard a big difference top to bottom with different amps so amp is always a big factor. I guess the lesson learned is Class D is not always a slam dunk with OHMs, for whatever reason.I f...

Food or beryllium tweeters for my DeCapo's
