downloading music worth listening to on a computer
I had to look and see if this was a post from 1992.What am I missing? 
Upgrading a CD/SACD player with integral DAC
Marantz is an excellent recommendation. I'd love to hear from someone who's heard the Ruby K1 and SA-10 side by side; the Ruby may be the sweet spot.I have the SA-KI Ruby. When I was researching I couldn't find any comparison to it vs. the SA-10.... 
Well-Tempered Golf Ball?
The newer models have a half golf ball covered with the silver cap. I am a owner of a WT. Amadeus Mk.II. I realize a lot of people are put off by the golf ball and fish line approach, but that, along with a unique style platter bearing, make for a... 
A moderate priced dac
Audio mirror use a lot of junk...I was looking at DACs and the Audio Mirror looked nice, lots of folks talking about the great sound, etc. But I did see a few people open them up and do and "what for" and it was not so flattering. I ended up with ...

Well Tempered Amadeus Belts
mr m nailed it, that is the only way to go. I have that table and will never need to buy another belt. I went to the hobby store and bought the mono filament thread (polyester) in the link. I made the jig that was shown in the instructions that ca... 
Wife trouble
My wife told me to stop singing the song I'm A Believer by the Monkeys. At first I thought she was joking....But then I saw her face 
New Preamp arrived....
I bought a used Quicksilver preamp years ago, SN 0005. This was my first try at anything with tubes in it. It replaced and Adcom preamp. I was blown away by how much more I heard from the Quickie. I think speakers and tubes more than anything else... 
Solar Panel and Inverter Recent Audio Lessons Learned
I had solar panels installed above my listening room about a year ago and didn't notice anything different. But almost all of my listening is either before sunrise or after dark 
I'm looking to learn about Air Motion Transformer technology
I have a DIY pair of 2-ways and used the "Great" Heil AMT (the big AMTs, almost certainly from an old pair of ESS speakers) along with Altec 416s. After a couple of years I switched to the Beyma TPL150 AMTs. The Heils are bipoles with an open back...
