Bryston BDP media server a good choice today?
Wow! Looked at the MM thread at audiocircle. The discussions are over my head. Using mPad on my iPad and content with what it gives me. Was under the impression that updating to MM would allow me to stream radio.  But appears it does much, much mo... 
Changing album covers after the fact
Great suggestions. I will devote a snowy, frigid day to the task. Thanks to all.  
Newbie needs recommendation for ripping & storage solution with Bryston BDP-1
I have owned a Bryston BDP-1/BDA-1 combo for a couple years and enjoy it immensely. I ripped my cd collection in FLAC (along with a large number of CDs from my local library) to my HP desktop and then copied the file onto multiple thumb drives. Th... 
Bryston BDP media server a good choice today?
I too enjoy my BDP-1/BDA-1 combo and have gotten grea support from Chris. I'm intimidated by the thought of updating to Manic Moose. But based on your comments I might try to corral Chris after the holidays and make the leap.  On a related note, a... 
Extension cord question
Had an electrician friend over to see if It was feasible to run a dedicated line to my listening room. Hard to explain in a post but my room construction and location present so many challenges that I  shelved the idea.

I noticed a long Purist Audio  Elementa IC for sale here at a decent price. 
Acoustic panels - how high?
Thanks, good info. I have treated first and second reflection points on side walls and improved things quite a bit. Think I will now experiment with a panel on my ceiling. No mention anywhere about treating the front wall either directly between o... 
Acoustic panels - how high?
Very interesting. Thanks.. I've adjusted mine a couple of times but can't hear any difference. Of course, i can't remember what I had for breakfast this morning let alone how my system sounded before I moved the panels. 
Acoustic panels - how high?
Thank you but again I found no answer to my question. Exact heighth on the wall must not be critical to room treatment. 
Acoustic panels - how high?
A lot of good info, but didn't find an answer to my question.....how high to hang the panels on the wall. Maybe it doesn't matter. 
Time to replace Tice Solo?
Thanks for the recommendation, but the Audience is a little too pricey for me, 
Cartridge breakin ......how long?
Waiting for breakin before I draw any conclusions, but "zingy" or "hi fi" is not how I would describe my sound. As I said above, very quiet tracking. I forget I'm listening to used vinyl. Don't recall feeling that way with my Glider. Retrieves a l... 
Cartridge breakin ......how long?
Thanks for the input. Cartridge was mounted by experienced dealer. I will wait 50 hours and then make adjustments. I'm excited about this cartridge's potential. Tracks very quietly and retrieves more info out-of-the-box than my Glider. Can't wait ... 
Time to replace Tice Solo?
Thanks for the input. After I liquidate some excess gear I will be replacing the Tice. 
Time to replace Tice Solo?
If I replace, it will be after first of year as I just bought new speaker cables and cartridge. But I first need to determine if newer units will "outperform" the Tice. My question to the community is ....will I hear sonic improvements in my syste...
