What is the best dielectric?
Muralman, you are going down the path taken by Omega Mikro some time ago. 
What is the best dielectric?
There are several manufacturers using rectangular conductors with the narrow sides within a teflon tube. This means that the majority of the conductor has an air dielectric or in the case of the Stage III with a vacuum dielectric. Townshend is the...

Theduder,I also have one somewhere, but mine is well used and of no value. I would expect that the suspension would be brittle by now. Some try to keep it in good shape by putting cartridges in freezers, but i doubt if anything can stop this.

Synergistic Research Acoustic ART- any comments?
Shellie, it is a lot of money certainly. I have no experience with digital room correction but that is a lot of money also. The Holographics, RoomLens, RPG diffusors and absorbers all work somewhat, but they are not cheap either. I guess I must sa... 
Synergistic Research Acoustic ART- any comments?
Shellie the link is now up. Remember that I had to tweak my system to get the best results, including removing my source equipment from the first reflection point. 
Synergistic Research Acoustic ART- any comments?
Shellie,I would have thought the same thing had I noticed the ARTs when I went in with a friend. I thought during the initial presentation that the sound was quite good in this Luxman suite. Then Ted Demming started his talk. He took all the ARTs ...

Ozzy,I am in error about my review in Dagogo. My previous submission appeared shortly afterwards. This will probably be in January.I will merely say here, that I heard the SR ARTs demonstrated at the RMAF and bought them on the spot. It did take s...

Swhitman, can you not tell just from the size of the file if nothing else? I do recall a conversation with Bel Canto about the dac. I think I recall that it can decode up to 2$/96 but no higher.

Is the hard drive drawing on that battery also?

One additional question, do you worry about the switching power supplies in computers reducing the quality of the playback from your hard drives?

Xenithon, so with Max you can rip WAV files? Does everyone using Macs use Itunes for play back?
