Non-current limiting power conditioners
I could see spending $400-$500 on a nice used conditioner This could get you a new APC H15 conditioner that is rated around 1.5 KVA and which as been tested to ensure it can deliver high current to power amps and UL rated to boot. Although this A...

It may have been on a 45 rpm I bought. And yes you could find great sounding North American Vinyl - just I found it hit and miss - whilst Japanese recordings were almost always oustanding. Anyway it was a long time ago and although everybody dismi...

BTW - Spirits has some great drumming too and pushes Sting's bass playing abilities (he's no John Deacon, Geddy Lee or John Taylor) but an amazing and influential songwriter. Many people say Ghost in Machine was dark but it was probably my favorit...

"Murder by Numbers" is from the Synchronicity compact disc. It is indeed on the CD. I am pretty sure it was on the vinyl album I had. I am kind of elephant memory on these things - at least when it comes to music. However it was 1983 (a long time...

Not true in my system. Imaging is spot-on. It would indeed be more subtle than that.The dimple is a weak point that will succumb to flexure. The other issue will be dispersion. Think of how a phase plug or a waveguide changes the off axis respons...

Use a guard of some type or rest your arm against the face of the speaker, hold the vacuum nozzle firmly in both hands and gently move the nozzle toward the dome. Don't get too close or you are going to have difficulty controlling the nozzle I re...

I quite agree. Have you heard Murder by Numbers off the Synchronicity album. Awesome stuff. My favorite track off that album.If you like the Police Rock/Reggae style then you will like Wesley Finley of Rebelution - also does great hi-hat work and ...

Used and not so sticky Scotch tape - try something not sticky at all first and gradually work at it using scotch that is newer or stickier until you can just get enough stick to pop it out.Don't start with duct tape or something powerful as you ma... 
PC Based Audio - How?
Do some reading - find a DAC that is reknown for jitter rejection and that accepts all the standard digital inputs (AES/EBU, S/PDIF, TOSLINK and now USB) and off you go - start auditioning for the sound style you like (all D to A converters will h... 
Usd 4k speaker recommendation pls
There are hundreds of options - what have you used in the past and what are you looking for. If you like vocal then a good midrange is a must. The B&W Nautilus 805 should defintely be on your audition list - I am not a B&W fan but this par... 
DACs with word clock output??
Doug,Hey - no problem. You are in contact with an expert and in good hands now. Actually I just tried to chime in simply because nobody was helping you. I don't have personal experience in trying to achieve what you want. 
Toslink Cables
I was wondering if these toslink cables require any burn-in and if so, how long ? No burn in is required. If you have a jitter problem then obvioulsy a cable change coudl make an audible difference and it will take some listening time to get fami... 
CD players with no or configurable upsampling
What is the advantage of having none? It generally means the designer needs a more expensive sharper brick wall analog filter on the output - this may affect phase in the in band frequencies.
