LinN Klimax DS/O Renew or Memory Player64
I have a Renew and I've been very impressed with it. I copied all my cds to my computer and they sound better from the Renew than they did from my top of the line Linn CD player, which sounded pretty great itself. But I ended up selling the CD pla... 
Help with Pono?
Can you do that with headphones? I don't think my phones would work for that. 
Help with Pono?
Thanks to all for your suggestions. I was able to make it work by transferring from my music NAS to the pono disk without using the pono softward, as Cerrot suggested. Now all is fine.Ozzy, buying music from the Pono site doesn't require a pono pl... 
Help with Pono?
I'm pretty unsophisticated about computers and am not sure what you mean by a file system, or ext4, or how I would install that. Do you mean I would install it onto the micro SD card, or onto the Pono unit itself? 
Help with Pono?
Thanks. I know that Pono is compatible with my operating system. I tried connecting the Pono while it was on and that didn't do anything different. I like the idea of putting music on the SD card independent of Pono by transferring files to it, bu... 
New to headphone amps --- I'm wondering .....
Interesting but you guys are a bit over my head. What does this suggest would be the right amp -- or type of amp -- to match the AKG 545s. My budget is around $300 give or take a bit. Reading the forums at hed fi left me a bit overwhelmed with opt... 
New to headphone amps --- I'm wondering .....
Thanks. I get the sense that many people find that headphone amps make major improvements. But can anyone explain why a headphone amp that costs a fraction of the cost of one's much more costly main rig would sound better?I'm running RCA cables in... 
Brian Wilson/Jeff Beck
This might be more interesting and integrated than it first appears. I've read that Brian Wilson is recording new music, some if it involving a mix of vocal harmonies and Beck's guitar. As a fan of both artists, this sounds intriguing to me --- an... 
SQ Touch without network
Has anyone been able to run a Squeezebox Touch using music stored on a portable hard drive, without internet? What the trick?

Do these work with macs? 
Some girls Deluxe
I think it sounds pretty great too -- lively, enjoyable, and fun. I didn't compare it with other versions but it struck me as better sounding and more involving than the last time I heard it. Hard to say about compression for me because almost all... 
40th Anniversary Aqualung is KILLER
The info I've been able to find online is a bit hazy about the DVD. It says the DVD has both stereo and 5.1 mixes -- so I assumed that means it must be a dvd-A (no video). Can anyone who has the set tells us about the DVD and blu-ray, and how they... 
40th Anniversary Aqualung is KILLER
Ozzy -- My thought, but not exactly. I'd really like to get the DVD-A from the set without buying the whole thing. If there is someone interested in getting the vinyl, maybe we could work something out. I think it's going for $118 on Amazon. PM me... 
Why are HD downloads so expensive?
Yes. But it usually turns out that the announcements about new releases material coming out in HD come a couple weeks after the CD release (which in the case of Paul Simon & Wilco) I'd already purchased. I'm just saying it would be good to kno... 
Why are HD downloads so expensive?
I'm happy with most of the downloads I've gotten from HD tracks, but I do have one suggestion. Please tell us what new releases are coming up, especially with new recordings. In most (but not all) cases I prefer HD downloads to CD versions. But I ...
