| Most significant upgrade Given your tastes in music I think the Harbeth's compact 7's are a winner. They are not the last work in bass response or dynamics but they have a nice forward mid range that is clean and clear of colorations. A little laid back in the upper mids ... | |

| Power Cords Snake Oil ?? Bjeisen,I suspect that most happily married men with a loving wife, would be grateful for 7....just once in a while...even at the risk of going completely deaf! | |
| How many forms of Jitter can you identify? Kirkus well said I agree fully. CD, DVD and Blu-ray and SACD are all made from materials that are non-magnetic.De-magnetizing appears to be unlikely to do anything. | |

Many good suggestions above, alsoYazoo - Allison Moyet and Vince ClarkeOMDDepeche Mode (were even better once Vince left - Construction time was a landmark album)The CultDuran Duran (took 70's disco - think Chic and incorporated into Synth pop of ... | |
| How many forms of Jitter can you identify? The worst forms of jitter are non-random (by far)!If a disc wobbles while it spins then this may cause cyclical adjustments to the pick up laser servo and these repetitive draws on power may induce variations in the clock through the power supply.... | |

| What speakers have best bass for hip hop, and rock If you want good clean articulate bass try also big ATC's, PMC's, Westlake or large Tannoys. There is nothing quite like a good 15 inch woofer. Butt ugly but can also kick butt (rather than wimpy 8" woofers tuned to get the most out of them and in... | |
| What speakers have best bass for hip hop, and rock 801N is a great choice - way better than the one note bass 802D. | |
| Why are HD downloads so expensive? And as for your accusation that I am a thief.... only an idiot would say a thing like that to a complete stranger. I stated that it may appear to be a "ripoff" to those who steal music (illegally by downloading it for free from peer to peer and ot... | |
| Why are HD downloads so expensive? Your question has been answered. The fact is that your obnoxious attitude towards companies like HD tracks is probably shared by enough people that it will never become a mass market success and prices will necessarily remain high because volumes ... |
