| Great systems in butt-ugly rooms Jorgeparrapuppy,one observation,early on this thread you mentioned that you can't show your system because you simply don't know how to use your wife's digital camera,later on the thread you tell us that many of your girlfriends come over your lis... | |
| do cds sound better when transf via apple lossless How can it be better than the original,that's an oxymoron,a not valid statement. | |
| How to explain our obsessions to the uninitiated? All good responses above,Shardone phrased it more to the way I feel about the hobby myself.When I duscuss audio with people than are not into the hobby,I usually tell them that the "boxes" are made with better electronics and better chassis,also t... | |
| Old tube amp? Conrad Johnson MV-55 using the EL-34 power tubes. | |

| PS Audio Power Plant or Power Plant Premier Your findings are encouraging.Based on what I read,the powerplants shouldn't be used on amps anyway.I thought of getting the P1000 myself.George | |
| Loricraft Record Cleaning PaulI checked the Hannl and Clearaudio Matrix record cleaners.They all look very impressive,and seriously designed machines.In comparison the VPI 16.5 looks like a toy.I only have 350 LP's,so I am not sure if I can spend this kind of money on a RC... | |

| Wadia iTransporter I am in a similar situation,my choice would be the 160g ipod classic with the iTransport,for backround non-critical listening.I read elsewere that the iTransport is rather expensive but my personal opinion is that in the high-end arena the asking ... |
