Is There a New version of Logitech Media Server?
I did the upgrade. Seems to work fine. Not noticing any real difference in my case so far. I also received notice and upgraded both my SB Touchs in addition to the server. 
When did you start to love music and why?
Chipmunk records as a kid circa 1963.

No doubt, it all matters what you feed the OHMs. DAC, pre-amp, amp, ICs, power ... I had to change it all along the way to get it where I wanted it to be. Amp change to current BC Class Ds was the last change made. 
Tubes vs Solid State
Its true with most speakers you cannot have too much power. Think of it as your insurance policy against clipping. Do not leave yourself exposed.

Schubert, testify!! Eliminate clipping first then tweak if needed. Its the only road to happiness. 
If you were setting up a music server today ...
meant to say throughput may be limited above, not bandwidth, which is not a factor in transmitting digital data result of a bottleneck resulting from network throughput would be occasional delays in playing, nothing relating to sound quality however.

Agree with Kijanki. Go wireless if you can. Only downside is bandwidth might be limited in some cases with high res files and lots of network activity. I have a very active wifi network in my house and no problems with CD res .wav files.

Anyone installed to Windows 7 and using .wav files specifically with no ill effects?Or seeing any benefits?

In all seriousness, the best tube amps I have heard sound pretty much like the best SS amps to me and vice versa. Not sure I have ever heard either sound equally top notch with the same speakers though. Gotta look at the whole picture...

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...

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...

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...
