Anyone still use iPod for music storage anymore?
My ipod touch is the 32g version. I have 511 songs stored on it in AIFF or Apple lossless format and that takes up 16.5gb. I only use it in the bedroom or for travel with a limited amount of music. If you plan to load an entire library, then this ... 
Anyone still use iPod for music storage anymore?
I use an ipod touch feeding a NuForce icon ido in the bedroom. Mostly for headphone listening. As the ido offers a variable analog output, I also use this feeding an amp and speakers on occasion. Files are either Apple lossless or AIFF. I don't se... 
My Music Hall CD 25 just died
Agree with the computer path, especially when you're talking $500. 
Please alleviate my fears
I owned a Cambridge 840, can't recall whether it was v1 or v2, but definitely don't remember having to turn it up like you're doing. Sounds to me as if you have a volume setting on your pc set too low. I'd check all of those settings. 
Does it bother you?
Spent many years doing audio in television, so much of what you state is right on point. Which is why I myself am very dubious when it comes to tweaks and special items concerning audio.GlenfihiSame here. Plus, I'm a natural born skeptic.Look at m...

Subbing a 8 amp fuse in for a 1amp fuse in PS/Dac
The only place I would risk it is in the amp. Speaker fuses especially. The damage is done by the time it blows anyway, so I hear. I've not blown an amp fuse in 35 years and done lots of experiments. I would not mess with stuff further up the chai... 
Do power cords make a difference?
Well that confirms it for me. 
Downgrade Suprise?
Those Triangles must really be something. I owned a pair of the M20s a few years ago and thought they were fantastic speakers, wish I still had them.But to answer your question, yes, I currently use an older pair of Soliloquy 5.0s which have beste... 
Anybody have an actively multi-amplified system?
You have three identical threads running!!!Too bad Audiogon's moderators can't combine them into one. 
RIP Amar Bose
I too can recall the first time I heard a pair of Bose 901s. A record store in Nashua, New Hampshire had a pair suspended from the ceiling. They were playing the just released Layla by Derek and the Dominoes. No idea who the band was and only the ... 
The Moody Blues - "Seventh Sojourn"
Hey Chazro, I saw Edgar Winter's White Trash in the summer of 71' (or was it 70'?). It was at one of those outdoor concerts (festivals) in New Hampshire. They were awesome that night. We actually thought it was gonna be Johnny Winter but the disap... 
Speakers 12.5" or shorter, $1K new or used
They don't come up often on the used market but if you like the Silverline sound you might get a pair of the SR11s. I've owned them twice, great little speakers.
