Music Server vs Computer?
Need to follow up on Steve Nugent's comments of 11-19. Music Vault seems to have no negatives. Has a 2 TB internal HD for storage and a second 2 TB drive for auto backup. Uses dbpoweramp for ripping and JRiver for play. Can save in any format, to ... 
iRiver and dbPoweramp connectivity
Currently using iTunes and ripping cds and saving as Apple Lossless to my PC's hard drive and successfully streaming to a modified Airport Express. Planning on going outside my comfort zone, downloading dbPoweramp and re-ripping my cds in AIFF for... 
What footer best under cd player
Just curious - Is Eden Sound out of business? They made nice footers. 
Arm Heighth on VPI Classic
Durbin - thanks for catching the error. Should have been more careful, but my furnace went out that morning, my dog got hit by a car, and my wife ran away with my best friend. And if that wasn't enough, I'd just taken delivery of a couple 45rpm lp... 
Arm Heighth on VPI Classic
Are you telling me that I shouldn't bother adjusting arm height when switching back and forth from 180gram and 200gram vinyl? 
Changing PC resolution?
OUTSTANDING!!! Thanks, Mark. My computer is already running at 64bit. Now I can sleep at night.

My Rel's amp went to Sumiko for repair; should be in my hands yet this week. I'm changing room placement and will try the granite slab again. Read the reviews of the Sub Dude and it sounds like it might be perfect for apartments and condos. If so,... 
periphery ring clamps worth money
Bought my VPI Classic 3 new without the ring in order to save a few bucks; and a year later bought a used VPI ring off Audiogon. IMHO it improves the sound of all lps, warped or not. And it makes the TT look darn sexy. Highly recommended. 
Add DAC or mod player?
Where I live, my ability to audition equipment is very limited. So, while I'm interested in hearing the Bryston and Chord DACs, I can't. Any purchase decision will be based solely on opinions I get from this forum or from Stereophile reviews/recom... 
cd player recommendation
Willland - ooops! Wife was rushing me and my brain was not properly engaged.I stream from my upstairs PC wirelessly to a downstairs Airport Express that's connected to my pre via RCAs. Was wondering if I could stream from the PC directly to either... 
cd player recommendation
Willland - so just asking you to confirm...the Cambridge 840c or Cambridge 851c will allow me to stream music from my upstairs Airport Express to my downstairs stereo system? 
DSPeaker Anti Mode 2.0 evaluation
Ozzy - how do you have the Dspeaker hooked up as an EQ unit for the subs? I'm strongly considering buying either the Dual Core 2.0 or at least the Anti-mode 8033 for use with my system which currently has a single Rel sub, but might see a second s... 
Record Sleeve Recommendation
I've bought both the Disckeeper and the MoFi inner sleeves from Sleeve City and have had no problems with them. 
Two Subs?
Rodge - don't know if you want to weigh in; but thread in Tech Talk forum is discussing performance of Dspeaker
