| Make Internet Radio Sound "Better"? "You are the one who recommended the Stello."me? Really? I plead innocent.I think you are mistaken. Check the posts. Cdente mentioned it from what I can tell. I never heard of the gadget until I checked in response to your inquiry regarding if it ... | |
| The best CD Player for the money I've heard an oppo once at an audio show. I had high expectations and was very disappointed. I was not familiar with any of the gear in the rig though, so a good chance it was not the Oppo's fault. The gear looked a lot better than it sounded (hor... | |

| Actually difference between class A and AB? Newer Class Ds done well may be the emerging holy grail for most in terms of overall performance, efficiency, and cost of ownership.

| Which is more accurate: digital or vinyl? Do you really think vinyl playback has progressed much if at all over the last 50 years? How about 20?Maybe for a price. The cost of the best rigs today is outrageous compared to those days. And there certainly are not many good new records being ... | |
| Make Internet Radio Sound "Better"? I have heard 64 kbs stations (and less) sound really good (as good or better than good FM though different) and 128kbs stations sound so so.So the stream rate is a good indicator of potential but not always a good indicator of actual results. | |
