| Greek Audiophile - Documentary Video I lived in Greece for a few years back in the 80s. Those guys, their attitudes and inflections are exactly as I remember the Greek friends I made. Wonderful film. The filmmaker has several others on the site, they are all worth a look. | |
| How do you "unfreeze" an ipod? And if none of these suggestions work, take it to the local Mac store and let them fix it. They took my daughters ipod into the back room and came back 10 minutes later with a working unit. | |

| Rock Concerts through your rig? I don't go to rock concerts for the audio satisfaction. In fact I always wear ear plugs as I like to get as close as possible to the stage. Even at my age I enjoy the "groove" of the crowd moving with the music. Wouldn't attempt to duplicate this ... | |

| HT Receiver or High end integrated for music?? There is a trend here. I too have tried the HT recv route with unsatisfactory result. If you are serious about music the HT won't deliver. I've owned countless (seriously I can't remember them all) integrateds and my top picks depending on power r... | |
| CD Buying Guide??? I bought the remastered "Tea For the Tillerman" a while back. Absolutely awful! What a shame because that album was exceptional and the memories are priceless. After that experience I've been leery of "remastered" label. | |

| inexpensive cd player as gift Along with the NAD you mentioned you should add the C-541i or C-542. Very nice players with HDCD. If your brother is a vinyl guy he may appreciate HDCD. I owned the 541i and the Onix CD-88 and preferred the NAD. | |
