| Office speakers? I would second the recommendation for the Usher 520's. Another small speaker I own and like even more is the Soliloquy SAT 5. It's harder to find because Soliloquy is out of business but it's a great small speaker. | |
| "new country" music recomendations please The Wood Brothers "Ways Not To Lose" is one of the best CD's I've discovered in a long time. It's got great lyrics and spectacular musicianship, a wonderful mix of dobro and stand-up bass, that you'd probably classify as country if you had to pin ... | |

| Interfacing Computer Music to D/A Converter ? I use the built-in wireless capability of a Mac to send from iTunes directly to an Airport Express base station, then via glass Toslink from the Airport Express to a Benchmark DAC-1.

| How Can I Use MY IPOD For a Music Source? I bought the similar Kensington Stereo Dock for both my daughters and it works really well for the situation you're describing. The Keyspan dock looks even better, though, with a better range of controls on the remote and the use of RF for the rem... | |
| What is the best $1000 CD Player? Just to complicate things a bit more, a good, flexible option for that much money might to combine a high-quality used DAC like the Ben Canto or Benchmark with a decent transport, perhaps a used Denon DVD player or Rotel CD player. You'd get remar... | |
| Whats more important? Speaker or the Amp If someone gave you $4,400 and told you you could either spend $4,000 on the speakers and $400 on the amp or $4,000 on the amp and $400 on the speakers, which would you do? | |

| Rat Shck Presidian 40-5053. Next Sonic Impact? I got the upgrade kit for the Minimus 7 and installed it a couple of days ago. The improvement in the sound is dramatic, well worth the $20 cost of the kit and the half hour it takes to install the new crossover. I've always liked the Minimus 7 be... | |
| Rat Shck Presidian 40-5053. Next Sonic Impact? Opalchip, please let us know what kind of difference the upgrade makes. I was on the verge of buying the kit myself but in a rare moment of self-restraint I backed off, remembering how many pair of speakers I already have littering my basement. I ... | |

He says he may not make many of them because of the expense and labor involved so if you're interested you might want to jump on them, do a search on his user nam... | |
