Buzzing from speakers. Where is it coming from?
When you were changing a disc? How close were you to the speakers when you noticed the sound? Is it a hiss or a buzz? Is it equal level in each channel? If it's a hiss only heard an inch or two from the tweeter then I would agree with Elizabeth. I... 
Small Preamplifier choices?
Look at a used Creek OBH-12 passive pre. It has two inputs and remote. None listed here now but there are a couple on ebay. 
Mac Mini versus PC sonic differences, why?
I'm getting ready to purchase a Mac Mini for audio use only so am very interested in opinions. My only reason for posting this is to follow the discussion more easily.. 
"They are here" vs. "You are there"
"She's Not There" is a great song by the Zombies. ;) 
Changing the speaker jacks on a Linn Classik?
Not on the Classik but I added binding posts on a Linn AV5105 (very nice amp for the used prices). It was a fairly simple task. Send me an email and I'll send you some pics.

Last time you felt that "tingling" sensation?
The last time I had the full goose bumps, and I mean the way they used to come regularly way back when, was listening to "John Wayne Gacy Jr." by Sufjan Stevens on his album "Come On Feel The Illinoise." At the time I was listening to a pair of Re... 
Replacing Nano with iPod for Best Sound

Sufjan Stevens - All Delighted People EP
Guess I have to wait until it's available on hard copy, bummer. 
Sealing ported enclosure to reduce boom
What did you stuff the port with? If you think it sounds better you should find some porous foam material and cut it to fit properly. That should work without any negative side effects. 
Will there be any 'Arrow' mark in a Fuse holder?
Sounds like the same results I get when I spin my chair around 180 degrees. 
Sufjan Stevens - All Delighted People EP
"Illinoise" hooked me right away. A couple of years ago I went through a period where I listened to it everyday for more than a month. It was the first piece of music that had done that to me in years. I'm gonna order this one tonight. Thanks. 
Next Wilco Album
Have yet to purchase a Wilco album I don't like. "A Ghost Is Born" is my favorite. 
Small DAC With Balanced Outs
PS Audio Digital Link III or Bel Canto Dac 3 meet your criteria. 
Sealing ported enclosure to reduce boom
Hey Ifsixwasnin9, put a sock in it.Seriously, I owned a pair of Acoustic Energy speakers that came with port plugs. The speakers had more bass than was needed in my small room. With the plugs inserted the bass was much tighter and tuneful. Give it...
