Power cord replacement where first?
Do a search on shielded versus non-shielded then experiment. 
perfect speakers for atmasphere amp and preamp
The most expensive Dual Concentric Tannoy's you can afford. 
Lobos/Clapton Show - mini-review
Thanks- Very competent review.I'm a huge fan and never understood the critics. Having said that, I understand the boring comment. He's just not going to do anything really exciting or new or different. But, that's OK with me and I still hang on to... 
Your experience & thoughts on SSDs for MacMini
Interesting discussions. What I'm most concerned about is the possibility of having to re- rip all my CD's again. (Currently using Apple Lossless) Although SSD's are a relatively cheap experiment, I have decided to let the vetting process take it'... 
Audio Note 2.1.x DAC vs Wyred 4 Sound DAC 2
Regarding the AN- Have you experimentsed with different: tubes, transports, and power cords? Just curious. 
does it logical to invest on expensive transport?
Dgarretson: Looks like a very resolving system and very interesting SCD-1. 
does it logical to invest on expensive transport?
OK. I guess I started this with the "in the know" comment. First let me state that I'm all aboard the computer based source train. It's a blast and fits my listening lifestyle perfectly. I used to own a pretty good SACD player and curretnly own ab...

Damn Apple..a fence sitter's dilemma

Damn Apple..a fence sitter's dilemma
Get off that fence and get the mini. I also had paralysis by analysis, but once I jumepd in , Ive been happy ever since. I made a few mistakes but after a few tweaks, PC audio has been a lot of fun.My advice is to go used, cheap, and simple to sta... 
For 75-85 dB a few watts are enough so ...
I think there's a lot of fuzzy thinking and bad math when it comes to this subject. 500 extra watts doesn't make the first watt any better or worse. 1 watt= 1 watt.

Slothman: What is up with Carlo's shoes??? Is that his wife's doing? Does Husband Acceptance Factor mean anything?

Speakers that image best from corners 12' apart
I second the Hornshoppe but it's not the prettiest speaker. A couple other suggestions are the smaller Klipsch's or maybe a vintage Tannoy or Jensen. The Dual Concentric driver in the older Tannoys would help with the placement problems. I love th... 
2010 Pazz and Jop/ the Fall of Modern Music?
You are looking in the wrong places.The historical mode of delivery has changed. Who cares if Nels Cline doesn't show up on some industry insider generated list? I bet you could go online and download 40 live shows of his with every band he's play...
