Great Experience with Feickert Protractor
In theory I love the Feickert but in practice it is far more useful and precise when used with tonearms that have a clearly labelled / marked pivot point.  Amongst the arms I’ve used, it was extremely precise with a Reed 3P and its clearly identif... 
Synergistic Research Black fuese
Shouldn't one consult the manufacturer to make sure going "one step up" in the fuse is in fact safe?  Means with a surge more current will go into the component before it is cut off by the fuse blowing.  Isn't that a safety issue for both the comp... 
Why pay so much?
In truth, we are buying high priced audiophile cables precisely to annoy funaudiofun.  Looks like it's working! 
Computer audio, I am not convinced yet ......
I agree with most here who suggest that your USB interface was the likely culprit. I'm not familiar with the DAC you were using but IME most DACs with multiple input options have a severely compromised USB input. If you are dead-set on USB you sho... 
Thoughts about the new MacMini & Lion OS

EXACTLY. CDs and downloads are basically the SAME format. The only difference is downloads are not limited to 16/44.The trend in everything digital is AWAY from physical media - and with good reason. No matter how much Petty kicks and screams.

Agree, we would all benefit from greater selection in high res downloads...about this there is no argument. Somehow blaming us for this situation IS a problem though!After, someday all new music will only be available as downloads.mmmmmMMMMMWAHAHA...

Right...so computer audio and its enthusiasts are somehow to blame for 10000 out of print CDs. And you have not even been able to name EVEN ONE that you have been unable to find. Right. Makes perfect sense...Here's a little hint for you, Sherlock....

"Blue Ray Audio is looking better by the minute". Oh yes Petty, you're right. GREAT selection on Blu Ray, clearly it is the format that is going to save this music vacuum you keep harping on. You win. Good luck with YOUR format.Here's a little hin...

So Petty, what have you actually DONE to address your concerns? Other than complain, I mean. Please answer this simple question. If the answer is "nothing" (which I suspect it is) then you are nothing other than a crusty ol' fart...

"I already have an acknowledgement of the problem, but see no solution (or desire) to correct it."Um - OK - then let me ask this. You are the only one complaining but you have "no desire to correct it". So WTF are you complaining about then? Do yo...

Petty we have been answering your "questions" - you just are not listening. These are not "pot shots" as you put it. As Chad stated - you came here for an argument, and an argument you found.Thanks in advance for no longer responding. We win. You ...

Indeed Chad - that is EXACTLY what is going on here! Good pick-up!

Petty, you obviously have some pretty serious issues. The problem here is that - as I said somewhere around page 2 or 3 - you're complaining to the wrong people. Most of us here are pretty happy with computer audio and the direction things are hea...

Petty, we're not trying to sell you anything, nor are we trying to restrict your choices of music or format. You're the one who came here asking questions and not listening to the answers.To put in plain and simple: you're wrong.Hope you can under...
