The Blues, Audiophile Style
Epic. :-D. I could rock that. Mighty inspirational. So whenever I'm frustrated with my gear I just sell it.. right? lol! thanks for the laugh 
External hard drives and sound quality
Alright. This kind of applies here. I have a Sonos player and I stream my NAS drive through it. Just about 30 minutes ago I upgraded the coax cable to the modem and replaced every ethernet cable in the chain to CAT6 patch cables of 8 feet each. Th... 
Attn: Altmann Attraction DAC users
This hobby never seizes to amaze me. ;-D. Thanks for that. Now I'm off to the wood shop! lol! 
Digital out... does source matter?
I'm still curious about the W4S dac but I refuse to buy something in that price ranfge that I don't have the opportunity to listen to first. It was at the top of my list. Even debating the Cullen mod. But no listen= no buy.... sadly. In due time. ...

Still no takers? :-/ Come on. Wheres the spirit? Or is this the cheap Bose theatre surround market? I need to move to NC. They have a place called The Analog Store. Guess what they sell? And they survive! lol. For real though.... New idea! How abo...

CONNECT internet music souce to hi-end
Kal.. you are absolutely correct. But I have no expreience with that equipment so I'm limited to what I can say. And again you are correct about the classical part. But I rarely stream classical. I stream things that don't really make much of a di... 
Strings Dilemma
I'm a violinist, not a guitarist, but a buddy of mine plays mostly blues. All he talks about is "action". Everytime he changes his strings he adjusts the neck on his guitar to suit the action of the strings. Maybe that may help a bit. Or like Lrsk... 
Digital out... does source matter?
Now thats good info. Exactly what I couldn't quite figure out. Thanks! 
CONNECT internet music souce to hi-end
Pandora is fantastic. I have about forty different "stations" programmed in and they play a great variety. I personally use a Sonos ZP-90 and have a dedicated 1TB NAS drive supplying AIFF files to it as well. I even use my iPhone as the remote. (c...

Jax2 - "What do you think of their recent release together under "Swell Season"? I have yet to warm up to it vs the soundtrack which I do really enjoy."I surprisingly wasn't very happy with the Swell Season album either. But the soundtrack, defini... 
You know you're an audiophile if--
Pepperg73.... HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! yeah. I feel that way sometimes.
