NOS Western Electric wire used for power cables??
I posted a ways back that this was entertaining and damn it, I cannot stop following it!I have trouble with some of these attacks on Simply_q and have to chime in here. I have tremendous respect for someone who is able to stay on task in a "debate... 
Get Him to the Greek
Yup, Meridian. A side note....I did not get the movie. Surprised because I usually love that group's stuff, even Forgetting Sarah Marshall. It was fun but really not close to the rest they have done. 
NOS Western Electric wire used for power cables??
This is pretty entertaining and yes, I do realize that makes me a totally pathetic geek nerd. I would have no fear or concern using Ben's cables by the way...geeez people.......... 
Artists of the Decade
For me it has been Sufjan Stevens. I have been buying/listening to music obsessively since I was 11 years old, I am 48 now. It would be extremely difficult to find any artist that had released 3 consecutive records with the beauty and creativity o...

Have you heard Damien Rice live at Fingerprints?
If you like Damien Rice check out Josh Ritter, especially the song Wings on Hello Starling. A bit more folky but great artist and recorded as well as O. Also one of my favorite albums ever Sufjan Stevens "Seven Swans".

Those black boxes degrade sound?
I do not think they wear out and actually found quite the opposite. My old 850 Reference speaker cables and 350 Reference ic's seemed to sound better over the years and were stellar right up until recently when I replaced them.Regarding the commen... 
Any reports on the new Antelope DAC's?
I understand many of these have shipped now. Anyone have some listening experience yet? I am very curious how these compare to the berkeley. 
Here comes the Dude. What to expect?
Glory sorry for dragging down your thread! Just trying to have a little fun. The Dude is an American icon! I guess thats a sad statement of who we are...! 
Here comes the Dude. What to expect?
The Dude will need White Russians to work properly. 
Squezebox + iTunes + FLAC
ben's comments are correct. the rest of the suggestions are spinning your wheels unless you switch to the touch or transporter. his suggestion to use squeezebox server is a good one too as i find it much more seamless than itunes with the logitech...
