| Don't Feel Guilty Spending $$$ I think that is awesome. I need to go into business making handbags. That proves that if you make it, someone will buy it. I hope it is made in the USA. Just like msn to start the article with a little class warfare with the statement that: "Clear... | |
| Upgrade Sota Comet or buy a used table? I had an VPI Aries that I recently got on trade. It sold fast. It is a "NICE" sounding turntable but I preferred my buddy's new Sota Comet to the VPI. More music seemed to be difference. The Sota just had more information. It was clearer smoother ... | |

| WAV vs. FLAC vs. AIFF Generally WAV is the best sounding with AIF a close second place and FLAC a bit behind AIF. The problem with WAV is music tags and meta data do not follow the file. It can be very challenging with AMARA and Pure Music when you cannot find the name... | |

| Mac Mini vs. Macbook Pro as a server I have an I7 Mac Mini with 8Gigs of Ram using Amarra. The Mini is optimized for music. I have as much stuff turned off as possible. Herman my point is very valid the Audio Research DAC accepts USB in fact it has one of the best USB input receiver ... | |
| Mac Mini vs. Macbook Pro as a server I have developed a 20AH Lithium type battery for the Mac Mini. It is big improvement. I do not wish to market it at this time due to the liability of such batteries. | |
