| Is there a truly musical multiple CD player? I keep telling him that if he wants real music he will have to go with a single CD player but what he wants is a multiple CD player.

| How can we settle for digital? Now go play in your sandbox. Tut tut boys....don't argue over your toys. It is getting dark and time to go home. Analog and Digital can both be excellent but on any particular track either one or the other will be preferred - sometimes digital is... | |
| PC's with solid core conductors? The stuff in the walls of your house is probably Romex - ask someone at home depot and buy some more and a couple of plugs to terminate it - that way you can match the transmission impedance perfectly and have no reflections at your plug....Sorry ... | |
