Why does my system sound better??
My 2 guesses which I wouldn't value at more than 2 cents (that's adjusted for inflation too). First, all the adrenaline that you built up and blood you got flowing from moving and positioning the speakers caused your ears to be more accurate? Seco... 
Jolida CDP question
If you want the next level in detail with a similar tube sound try the Cary 308T. Emotionally involving and more detailed. 
Using Bad Recording to Evaluate a System
I agree with Chadnlz. You can't have it both ways. I go for the warts and all approach. But it is a choice some would rather have a less revealing system that glosses over the harsh recordings. It's a matter of choice. Choose your poison.

Geoffait, They better see them quick then. They aren't looking too good. ;) 
Reference DACS: An overall perspective
Yr44, You mean you didn't buy all the $25k to $33k dacs to try and compare in your system? ;) Thanks for the clarification. It's all out of my price range, but I like to keep up on people's opinions in case I win the lotto. 
Coping in an Age of Uncertainty
lol - did it work Dave? I mean did you convince yourself? Or is that little voice still in your head saying "I could have better sound if I just had a TT" ;)Just giving you a hard time of course. 
iPod Nano Sound Quality - Your Feedback Please?
Art, Or maybe, it's just smaller. Clearly part of the marketing plan all along. Get people to stock up on the original Ipod, then the mini, then when sales start to drop come out with a smaller version. Continuous income. I hope you are right Art....

Why not move a couple of houses down just to be safe. I think 20-25 feet is not enough. I changed the battery on my car before. Is that as good as a EE? 
iPod Nano Sound Quality - Your Feedback Please?
“Well, it has to do digital-to-analog conversion, right?” – DrubinYes. But being a consumer product and not a hifi product, I would assume that they aren’t going to use hi end parts in that process. So, it should sound the same as other ipods. Any... 
Reference DACS: An overall perspective
Teajay, Thanks for the impressions and sharing your experiences. I think it will be helpful to people on where to start if they are in the market for a DAC. Yr44,The MBL 1611E lists for $25,000. The other front ends you owned were about 25% to 1/3... 
The Stones' Bigger Bang
"This is a lame, tired, and brutally boring release." - Wc65mustang"It is better than their last two albums of original material"- NarrodI couldn't agree more. 
Electrical fields
i agree with Jeff also. 
Best 5 engineered rock albums?
Ghost_rider, You're kidding about Steve Vai's the Ultra Zone right? All of Steve's recordings are done in his "home" recording studio and all his other recordings that I've tried on my system very mediocre to terrible. But, I don't think I've even...

iPod Nano Sound Quality - Your Feedback Please?
I think your idea of this thread is good; however, I would assume that it sounds the same as any other ipod. I mean it is just an embedded hard drive with information, right? I'm asking because I don't know.
