| Sell quality turntable to buy top CD player? +1 Mgattmch & Needfreestuff. I would talk to Dan Wright and see if he recommends the Oppo 95 w the tube mods or to get the stock 105 and then save up for the tube mod for it. Having a digital input is, I think, key for the future. Plus Dan is ... | |
| Using iPod Classic as music server +1 Mceljo. I've got Pandora 1andI enjoy it very much. | |

| Best music server for the money Mapman- You are correct, IF the user is well versed in setting up/running/maintaining a home network, getting the right software and integrating it correctly. That's a big IF for many of us. Add a wireless router into the mix and the IF gets even ... | |
| SMC McCormack or Vincent Pwr Amp Steve McCormack provides some of the best support in the business. His modded amps are among the best SS amps i have ever heard. Disclaimer- I'm now a "tube" believer, so haven't heard too many ss amps recently. | |

| Zyx Universe. O.24 mv vs .48 mv with low eff spkrs My apologies to all, but esp. to Atma. My last post was poorly worded. The reference to being more concerned w hum and noise was based on two things. One, just an electrical/acoustical fact of life. A higher eff speaker will reproduce the inherent... | |
| Zyx Universe. O.24 mv vs .48 mv with low eff spkrs Audiotomb- Never heard the Daedalus at any length but I know Almarg loves his. Enjoy. And don't miss any live music to listen to the hifi. It's great fun but it's not the real thing, as I am sure you know. | |
