Alesis ML-9600 to archive my LP's in HI-RES CD24
The single best way would be to purchase a Nagra DII. I know of a few on the used market but they are a pretty penny ($10-15k used). The quality of PC results, as with any digital storage, will be as much based upon the quality of the A/D converto... 
Best all around box speaker between 15K and 25K
B&W Sig 800 
At what level does analog beat digital?
Satch - What tape speed and formulation were you using with the Nagra? My Nagra running at 15ips/30ips with GP-9 beats the pants off of any recording I have been able to make with 16 bits... throw in a different recorder with 1/2 or 1" tape to the... 
Help me find a new HDTV...... for $3500
Having recently purchased a Sony GWIII LCD set, I can say that it is sensational. If you are sensitive to rainbows from DLP, you might want to avoid the Samsung, etc... One beautiful thing about the latest LCD/DLP/LCOS sets is that they have very ... 
B&W Silver Signature 30 how are they?
I haven't heard the N803, only the S(N)800 / N801 / N802 / N805... The bass extension was solid to around 35 Hz but deep bass wasn't there. I compare the N802 with the SS30 and the benefits of the rest of the Sig 30 far outweighed the bass strengt... 
B&W Silver Signature 30 how are they?
The SS30 is a wonderful speaker and I am kicking myself for selling my pair. It has an absolutely wonderful tweeter and midrange. The one thing it lacks is low bass extension. The only other B&W speaker that I have heard compete with it is the...

Under tools/options/advanced... click the "disable script debugging" setting... should get rid of your popup 
Internet Sites
No, has nothing to do with Mr. Bill Gates... it has to do with 2nd rate web developers who don't bother to do the proper error checking in their code. 
B&W Nautilus 800 vs 801
In terms of specs, the only spec where the N801 bests the N800 is how low they will play. As far as sound quality, I feel that the N800 is a step well ahead of the N801 in all remaining categories. That being said, I would be very surprised if you... 
Where does that hiss on the master come from?
It is noise inherrent as a result of the electronics (recorders) of the day, the tape formulation, the tape width, and the tape speed. Early studio electronics also had lots of noise of their own that aren't attributed to the recorders. Early nois... 
Krell HTS-1 Upgrades
Oops... meant only the HTS2 is upgradeable to the HTS 7.1

There are none... only the HTS2 is upgradeable. 
FYI - Who Should Pack Your UPS Shipment.
Have you checked on the rediculous amount extra that MB charges to ship? I needed to ship a 100 lb amplifier and MB wanted to charge me 3 times as much to ship UPS compared to walking into the UPS store. If this is how much I have to pay for bogus... 
Wisdom audio D75 speakers ?Speakers for big room?
I have never personally heard them but there is a pair for sale here for $6500 so they don't retain their value too well... 
Woofer damage from new Star Wars THX DVD?
Spluta- You probably don't have your system set to video reference levels. When properly calibrated, you will see transients (as per the spec of dolby digital ex) well above 100 db. I believe 115 db is the transient max for Dolby Digital EX but I ...
