Advice on Setting Up A Laptop-Based Audio System?
I'm surprised no one has mentioned SlimServer www.slimdevices.com. It works through a LAN. You can go with either WiFi or hard wired, or a mix. I've been using a Squeezebox for a couple of years. For a DAC I feed it into a Behringer SRC2496, which... 
WAF - Wife Acceptance Factor
I love the WAF. Being single I can take advantage of all the good gear that ends up on the used market when guys get married and have to switch to HT setups with little, tiny speakers. 
Harbeth C7 vs Proac D25 Review
Put me in the same camp. Neutrality is meaningless in an electronic reproduction. You are starting with something that is very artificial and trying to reproduce the experience of listening to music (live music). Enjoyment is what I am after. Prec...

Best Cheap Speakers - New or Old
I have to agree about the Dynaco A25s. I had them throughout college and I never got tired of them. Wish I had kept them just see what I think of them today.Give PSB a try. Amazing sound for the money. 
Best Bike to ride before a good listening session
I seem to have done what I never thought I would accomplish. I have no desire to upgrade my road bike. If only I could do that with sound equipment. My old (1997) Merlin ExtraLight, 10sp Campy Record with Stronglight Pulsion cranks. Reynolds Ouzo ... 
Getting rid of harsh, shrill treble
I have been reading about the Magenta ade-24. It is a device specifically designed to reduce this problem. It is an analog device that would go between the CD player and the preamp. For $250 it sounds like it would be well worth it to try it. That...
