| Which way to go? Airport Express or USB interface If you store your files in the Apple Loseless format it won't make any difference between USB or Airport, but if you don't use any file compression, then the USB connect has the potential for better performance since the Airport will convert every... | |
| The last 5 ????? I don't know if it really exist, but I imagine that at one point somewhere somebody made an audiophile boombox. It was battery operated, had a single cross-overless mono speaker powered by tube amplification and came with both a Karaoke and phono ... | |
| The last 5 ????? No offense taken and I truly hope I haven't given offense. I have nothing but admiration for your dedication to this hobby, but at the same time that doesn't mean I won't vehemently disagree with you. As audiophiles we seem to place increasing imp... | |
| The last 5 ????? Some people need to spend large sums of money to "get closer to the music" and others can get that same feeling when listening to a boom box. If you think constantly spending and upgrading is a worthwhile endeavor, then more power to you and I'm g... | |
| new updates in transports or are they obsolete ? If you were setting up a hard drive system you should use dedicated hard drives for the music file storage. You'd start with a clean drive and fill it up by ripping CDs one at a time. Under this scenario fragmentation would never become an issue. ... | |
| Can a monitor sound like a floorstander?? I think the question would be better phrased as "can a two way mini-monitor sound as big and full as a larger 3 way speakers?" There are any number of slim two floorstanding speakers that can match the performance of a good mini monitor and provid... | |

| What next after Audio Physic Virgo II It would be helpful if you would state what areas of performance you are looking to improve upon. In absolute terms it will be hard to substantially improve upon the Virgo IIs without spending large, large amounts of money. At you indicated buudge... | |
| Help educate Analogue rookie Unless you have a collection of vinyl, I would seriously question getting into vinyl. The $2,500 could get you a nice turntable/arm/cartridge and a handful of records, but you'd probably be better off spending that money entirely on new music. In ... | |
| whats changed in audio & is it better The internet and Audiogon are a double edged sword. There's a lot more information readily available, but the quality of that info can be very questionable. I firmly believe that a newcomer to high end audio is better served by a good full service... | |
| How come there is no thread on the RealityCheck? Wellfed, in my case a suspicion is a step below an opinion in the hierarchy of belief statements. After reading multiple websites and threads on the issue I still haven't gotten enough detailed information to say what is really going on with the R... | |
| How come there is no thread on the RealityCheck? The more I read the more I suspect there is nothing special being done with the Reality Check CD burner per se and what people are hearing is simply the result of the improvements inherent with very carefully copying massed produced CDs with bette... | |

| new updates in transports or are they obsolete ? Your average music lover listens to CDs either as ripped computer files (probably data compressed) or using a multi disc DVD/CD player. Because of this manufacturers have really scaled back on the production of single disc CD player mechanisms. Ve... |
