Subsonic music streaming app
"If there is an app that will do that without transcoding lossless files please do tell!" Yes! I agree completely--I'm loving the Subsonic streamer to my iPhone. It recognizes my iTunes library, my Winows Media Player library, and my HD Tracks lib... 
Subsonic music streaming app
Update: I tried Audiogalaxy, but it only plays mp3 files. My library is mostly WAV and Apple Lossless. So I slowed down and reinstalled Subsonic, and . . . viola! It works! I have my 68 gig music library streaming to my iPhone, and it sounds decen... 
Subsonic music streaming app
Thanks Richard. I fiddled with Subsonic last night, but couldn't get it to stream to the iPhone. It does indeed seem quirky--will check out Audiogalaxy. 
inexpensive dock for iPhone 4 with digital out
Hey thanks Hotmailjbc. I think I'll go for it--I can afford to take the chance for $99! Thanks for taking the time to respond. 
inexpensive dock for iPhone 4 with digital out
Do you know if it accommodates an iPhone 4? I notice it has a built in DAC. Is it possible to take the digital stream direct, bypassing the onboard DAC? BTW, have you tried the onboard DAC? If so, how does it sound? (just curious) 
A Walk in The COUNTRY
Thanks--these are all great suggestions. I have a bunch of Merle, but many of the names you all mentioned are new to me. I liked Mofimadness's suggestion about Pandora. Just got a trial subscritpion to MOG, and I'm really digging it--listening to ...

Best Private Retreat Using Closed Headphones
Hey Cwlondon, I have a pair of the ATH-A700s, and I really like them. I, too wanted closed cans for the same reasons you do. I can only compare them to the Grado 325i, which I just got rid of, and which is open. But, I found myself going for the c... 
Luxman L505u . . . why not?
Oh no here we go again . . .On a different--personal--note, I'd like to say that I'm no longer a dummy regarding voltage/transformer in my initial posting. At the time, I thought Japan was 220 like Europe, but I was relieved to learn just before m... 
Anita O'Day?
Hey thanks guys! What a wonderful bit of footage, Larryi! She's got style and soul and technique. I've heard of all these records, but have yet to see them at my local record store or any of the online sources. The hunt continues! I've been listen... 
CA: Central Coast - San Luis Obispo County
Yes. Check the website for info. http://www.centralcoastaudioclub.com/cm/Home.htmlOnly two meetings so far. Very nice group of guys. 
LUXMAN 505u?
Nolitan, it seems to have MUCH more power than the specs designate. I, too, rarely have the volume past 9:00. Never been to 12 and I've had some rockin' sessions! I hope you get to hear one soon! 
Best "Rhapsody In Blue"?
I believe you should consider Michael Camilo's recording with the Barcelona Symphony; it's available in SACD (and CD) on the Telarc label. That's my favorite! What a great piece of music! 
LUXMAN 505u?
Hi Mdnocum. I'll try my best to put this into words . . .Impact on Speakers:I didn't realize how fast my Vandersteens could be until I got the L505u. The front edges of notes spring into the room, and everything seems more lively. Also, the resolu... 
LUXMAN 505u?
I have one--just got it a few months ago. Check out the thread I initiated for related reading. It's done amazing things to my system. I never thought an amp could have such a positive impact on both speakers and sources. I use it with Vandersteee...
