Whatever happened to REAL "owners manuals" ???
Great post Sean!When I got my first PC, a NEC P100, some 15 years back, it came with a very thorough manual about 300 pages long. It was informative and easy to read. NEC probably expected people who purchased this computer were first time PC user... 
What digital evolution?
I feel every sentiments expressed here are very good. My beef with this digital evolution, atleast in the stateside, is that we can't even get redbooks to sound right most of the time. I hope the recording industry can go back to the basics before...

What high-end cdp for low-end quality CD's ?
I just want to add that I definitely think BAD CDs are BAD no matter how good your system is. I say this because my own system's ability seems to be greatly dependent on the quality of the CD I am playing. Next time I am going to Taiwan, I am goin...
