Sound levels: Apple lossless vs. original CD
Elf73 You claim that ALL is "lossy". Would you please explain what you mean? Everything I have read suggests that ALL is indeed lossless, bit for bit. I am using a MacBook into a Wavelength Brick USB DAC streaming ALL files to my system and it sou... 
Ipod Classic into Grado RA :good match?
I haven't heard the iPod with the Grado headphone amplifier you mention. However, you might want to reconsider buying the latest 160gb iPod. I was about to do the same thing, until I started reading a thread on amazon.com with numerous complaints ... 
Sufjan Stevens, Come On Feel The Illinoise
Thank you Danlib 1. 
Are there digital front ends with the body...
The Audiomeca Mephisto IIX has a very robust presentation. Unfortunately, it is no longer made but they do come up used now and again. 
Sufjan Stevens, Come On Feel The Illinoise
Regarding "John Wayne Gacy": It takes quite a talent to present such a terrible subject in such a beautiful manner. He's great live too. 
Radiohead's new business model:

Next big thing?
Interesting! Thanks for the tip. 
Good CDP with digital input/DAC capable

I haven't experienced any degradation of the sound due to the second voice coil being active. They still have very stable imaging, and a deep soundstage, but now with bass into the mid 20 Hz range in my room. Structurally, I feel the design is ver... 
Joshua Tree
There is no remaster of this title to date (other than the MoFi mid 90's effort). The whole U2 back catalogue is in serious need of remastering. 
Gallo Reference 3.1; What integrated amp?
The Gallo sub amp is worth the money imho. Not only do you get an amp to power the second voice coils, you also get a crossover to seamlessly integrate and custom tune the bass to your room and taste. I have owned mine for about a year, and have n... 
bands you truly miss
Afghan Whigs. 
Has iTunes, etc. impacted your listening habits?
I find myself listening to far more of my collection, than I used to. I love setting iTunes to random, and letting the computer do the driving. I am constantly exposed to selections I wouldn't neccessarily reach for. I have about 2500 discs (and c... 
Tube USB Preamp
I think Wavelength offer something like this.
