Update Sony CDP-XA7ES or replace ?
I found myself in the same place you are now about 6 months ago. I loved my XA7ES and almost hated to part with it. However, there are much better one box players out there now for less money. You can still probably sell your XA7ES for $900-950 wh... 
Small speakers - Totem Arro / Reference 3a Dulcet
I would have to say the Dulcets should be the way to go. Easy to drive and they dissolve and disapear! Good Luck! Chris 
Okay, I have a decision to make, please help.
Thank you all for your suggestions and input! I purchased a Cary 308. I should be posting pictures of my new listening room and setup with the Cary in the next couple of weeks in Virtual Systems. Again, thanks for the advice.Respectfully,Chris 
iPod: Questions and Options
Well, for what it is worth, I would suggest upgrading opertation systems to 2000 or XP from ME even if you do not keep the iPod. You can purchase an XP uprade package for $99.00. You will be surprised how much better your machine will run. Also, m... 
iPod: Questions and Options
Dean,John McDonald the CEO responded to me personally and offered to make it. I just e-mailed the main alias off their web page. I forgot to mention, I actually listen to my iPod 3 ways. I have Sennheiser HD600's which the iPod will actually power... 
iPod: Questions and Options
I never thought when I purchased my iPod (4th Gen 40G) that I would become such an "Addict". Anyway, I use all Audience Au24 in my system and love the results. Well, in search of a high quality connection for my iPod Dock and Apple Airport Express... 
Harbeth Compact 7ES vs Tyler Acoustics Taylo Refs?
Interesting comments indeed. I owned a pair of Tyler Taylos after a good friend purchased them. At his house and on his system, (which is similiar to mine)they were AMAZING. I was blown away. I then purchased a pair for my system and could never g... 
Ryan Adams-more than hype
Yes, I would argee. He has rapidly become one of my favorite artists. I have his entire catalog. Well worth getting into..Hoping to catch him here in DC.Chris 
Can Rock-N-Roll have great sound quality?
I have to jump in here as I mainly listen to rock and am a recovering Audiophile. I still enjoy the hobby but I am not an extremist as I used to be. I once built this system for absolute accuracy and it would absolutely sound amazing with good rec...

Which Audio Interconnect would you recommend?
Hmmm, Well I used to use the KCAG and liked it until a friend brought his Au24 over. I liked it better on my system. Anyway, I would suggest you try the KCAG and Audience Au24.Good Luck 
First Generation iPod for Windows Hell Continued
Yea, check out ipod Lounge. That sucks! I orginally got into this with an iPod Mini but quicky upgraded to the 20GB unit. iTunes can be addictive. Hopefully the firmware update will help you. If not, I would highly recommend you sell your iPod on ... 
Apple Airport Express, Any Users?
Cool, thanks for the input. I just ordered one from Apple but they stated a 2-3 week delivery. Bummer.. I am excited to play with it.Chris 
Audioquest Sky Interconnects
Skyhawk,I agree somewhat with what you are saying yet I have to disagree. I would not put Krell Monoblocks in a League above most any good Tube amplifier. I mean if you open them up, there are PC boards and copper wire used internally. My Cary Sig... 
Audioquest Sky Interconnects
My view on the SKY cable is that it is way to expensive for the results yielded with use. You can pick some up used for the $800-$900 range. There is SOO much better for less money. I do not spending money either on gear or cables as I have owned ...
