Digital Library - or Not? Needed?
What if something happen to your CD collection? Theft, flood? You said some are from your band so I assume irreplaceable.The convenience. From a computer you can sit in your Lazyboy, browse and play the music you want. All my CDs are on my compute... 
Shipping. Hard Lesson.
Unsettling post as I prepare to ship an amp back for repair...In my case the manufacturer recommended UPS, they also stated that they have the original double box with packing material if you no longer have yours but I always keep mine.My first ru...

Old favorites that you still play and still "feel".
I started a somewhat related thread; What makes us chose a certain song as a favorite?The song has that je ne sais quoi, if the song begins and I immediately get the feeling, "Oh yeah... that's the stuff" Then it's a favorite.Here are some of mine...

NAS with RAID for streaming to Sonos Connect
Eric,Good deal. It is only 1 drive but the external connected to it will give you hard drive redundancy. The Synology software has a feature that will see the external HD and automatically backup to it.Check out all the built in apps it has, you m... 
NAS with RAID for streaming to Sonos Connect
Kind of splitting hairs it is and it isn't. It is not a backup solution like backup software but in a way it is a backup in the sense that if you have Raid 1, 5, 10 then you have redundancy. You can lose 1, 2, 3 hard drives and still have all your... 
NAS with RAID for streaming to Sonos Connect
EZ, RAID is not really meant for backup? RAID is the definition of backup... you would probably want Raid 1, you use two hard drives and they are duplicates so if you lose one you still have everything.I prefer Synology, I have used many at work ... 
Why do you like a song? What makes it a favorite?
Fuzztone,A song has to go somewhere is a good factor. A song that has a point or tells a story like; Eagles - Hotel California or if you like country Chris LeDoux - This Cowboy's Hat.Jay Ferguson - Thunder IslandBkeske,For you it invokes specific ...

I've always had my favorites as well but what makes us determine what gets added to our Favorites or "Best Of" over a song that is just "good"?Wang Chung is good, Dance Hall Days is in my Best Of list.And in her mouth an Amethyst? What the...? Int... 
Hopelessly Confused
markusthenaimnut, and Brian, When I referenced this thread I should have added; Focus on his original post. The information and descriptions alone of the various amps was enough to narrow it down for me, I have a starting point. https://forum.aud... 
Hopelessly Confused
Brian,You cannot just drop an amp with a lot more power in and get the sound quality you were looking for, doesn't work that way there are to many factors in the equation. Power plays it part, my B&Ws don't fully come alive until they get some... 
Ethernet cable question
600 is not bad at all...You will want jack to Node 2i to also be at least 5e otherwise it would not be getting the full Gigabit. Is yours 5e?If you replaced the jack to Node 2i with Cat 6 your not going to see any improvement, you would still get ... 
Ethernet cable question
Wait a minute do you mean from the jack on the wall to your Node 2i?In that case you want that piece of 6 Ft or however long cable to also be 5e like you have inside the wall.Will
