Stevie Ray Vaughan
@ Lloydc...I saw SRV more than a dozen times during his career, in bars and in some pretty large venues and the ONLY time he wasn't "pushing the limit" was when he was too wacked out on coke and booze (I thought his playing was actually disappoint... 
That Audiophile Thing
Yes. Of course - since you''ve allowed that money is no object... If that we're the case, I'd have a custom home built with a professionally-designed dedicated studio and I'd hire my good friend John from Audio Video Logic to install/setup/tweak t...

Hi Yioryos, I have not tried either cat-6 or cat-7 cable. I'm still using cat-5. While it's not intuitive to me, I have read that the newer cat 6 and 7 cables provide better performance. Cat-7 being recommended (be some) as the best solution...

Any Alice Cooper fans?
My first album purchase back in 1972: Deep Purple, Machine Head; my second album purchase three weeks later: AC, "Love It To Death." For me, those two albums opened the doors to a magical musical adventure, which lead me to many, many great rock a...

Kedoades:I forgot to add something to the list. You'll need a control point (literally, something to control your Bridge-based music server with). With the money left over, you should purchase something like an iTouch (if you're going to dedicate ...

Is there a Best Buy in your area? If so, go there and tell one of the sales reps (typically, they’re pretty knowledgeable) what you're trying to do…1) Ask to look at Netgear routers, which are are pretty good and, for what you need, can be had for... 
Who needs drugs when you've got music?
Nice article. Being driven to “tears of joy” is a normal human condition. As a father, I have witnessed some pretty amazing achievements by my children that have left me quite literally in tears. Some people’s emotions, however, are much more f...

Good point Edorr. Netbooks do not have disc drives. Since I already have multiple computers, the Netbook was a very affordable solution to be used as a dedicated server. Kedoades will definitely need a drive for ripping his CDs. Of course laptops ...

The Bridge is by far the best part of the PWD and PWDII. You can easily establish a simple home network by purchasing a very modestly-prized WiFi router from Walmart or Best Buy. Next, you could purchase a simple Netbook (again, modestly-priced fr...

You can't go wrong with the PS Audio PWD MKII with Bridge. Look at all the reviews by the pros and by the general public - me included. The MKII/Bridge has gone up against a variety of players and systems that are vastly more expensive than this r...

How many switches do you have to flip the play a CD?
To play any or all of my CD (files), I merely press one button on my iPad from my listening chair, and never have to move...Until my medicinal is requires refilling.
