| Lossless Downloads Wireless200, if you use IE, you should see a message at the top asking for your permission to install ActiveX control. If you say yes, it will automatically download and install ActiveX plugin needed for music download. | |
| Capacitor problem or static discharge? It is possible that the voice coil of your woofer may have shifted a little and is touching the center magnet pole. With the amp off, try pushing the woofer cone with even pressure and see if you feel it is touching something.It is also possible t... | |

| Directional interconnect cables Nelson Pass, one of the most famous and experienced amp designed has written a short article about ground loop a few years ago(see link below). In which he also discussed cable shielding and how it should be connected. Please take a look and see i... | |
| System too harsh Help Musicnoise, I can't agree more except I would put room acoustics as #1 and speakers as #2. If you have a lousy room, it doesn't matter how good your speakers are, you are going to get lousy sound. | |
| Japanese Vinyl? Grimace,Piano is one of the most difficult instrument to reproduce on Vinyl. I believe the distortion you heard was caused by mis-tracking. It might be setup problem such as not enough VTF or dust accumulation on the needle. It is also possible th... | |

| Japanese Vinyl? A record label may press different records at different plants so you can't just go by the label. You need to look at the back cover to see where it was pressed. IMHO, anything pressed by JVC Victor is exceptional. | |

I had done a side-by-side comparison between an Aries 1 1/2 (upgraded I but not a full II) and a Scoutmaster and I got just the opposite result. The Scoutmaster produced much cleaner bass and more textured mid... | |
| PCs: Transparent vs Audience Dokosan,I can only speak for my own experiences. After 30 some odd years in this hobby, I have played with and paid for more power cords than I like to admit. At the end, I just couldn't convince myself and my friends that they make much if any au... | |
| PCs: Transparent vs Audience IMHO spending $300 on a power cord is a major misallocation of fund. I am sorry if my opinion offends anyone but that is the conclusion I draw after over 30 years in this hobby. | |
| In your opinion, what is Hi, Medium and Low end? Low-end - designed mainly for price.Mid-fi - designed for balance between sound quality and price.Hi-end - designed only for sound quality. | |
| How much longer will CDs be made? Why not get a new DAC instead. Your Sony is perfectly fine as a CD transport. You will need a nice DAC to playback downloaded music anyway. That should be a good enough justification. | |
| State of the art speakers from yesteryear. There are many that I like such as Gale 402, KEF 104ab, 105/2, Bozak Symphony, JBL 300B, 4350, Altac Lansing Model-19 and Stonehenge. They all sound different and have different amp requirements but I like them all. I particularly like the Bozak S... | |
