Need a source to play Websites w/o a computer?
Thanks Elevick... good to know about the Grace. Philefreak, I found that Sangean has a unit as well and the reviews look more favorable than the Grace I mentioned prior.http://www.sangean.com/products/product.asp?mid=25 
Need a source to play Websites w/o a computer?
Philefreak,I found this online...https://gracedigital.com/shop/tuner/I've never heard one so I can't vouch for the sound quality, however it looks like it'll accomplish the task nicely (30k+ online radio stations). The Grace tuner does have a digi... 
How important is a good rack?
Scott,I went the Salamander Synergy route. While it's sturdy and provides good rigidity, some may not classify it as an "audiophile" rack. I liked it's modular design and removable shelves, allowing me to experiment with different shelving materia... 
Any monitors clearly better than Pulsars?
Having heard the Pulsars on several occasions I completely agree... very enjoyable. I was at Goldprint Audio a couple of weeks ago to listen to the new Alta Audio Celesta FRM-2's and ohhh mama! A very well balanced speaker with incredible bass (si...

Afraid to buy new speakers
Try taking a look at the North Creek Music Kitty Kat and Big Kat. I ran across these while researching inductors for a DIY project. The manufacturer states that they're designed specifically for near wall placement using Scan Speak (Revelator) and...

If you're up for the drive, pay Goldprint Audio a visit just outside of Greensboro in Oak Ridge. The service I've received from Taylor and Stacey have been nothing short of top notch.

Small integrateds: red wine, bel canto or wyred?
Skoczylas,I'm using a Heed Obelisk Si with the optional X2 PSU to run a pair of Salk Archos (94db). I find it to be an excellent sounding little unit with plenty of grunt to get the Salks rockin' in they're 14'x27' environment. Take a look on heed... 
PHONO STAGE FOR REGA RP1 or RP3
Myronk,I currently use this little gem called a Heed Quasar (MM and MC) with my Rega RP3 / Ortofon 2m Black rig. I'll be replacing the RP3 with a considerably more expensive Nottingham Hyperspace / Lyra combination next week and the Heed will rema... 
Starting computer audio
Manniesmith,I too am starting out in computer audio and recently picked up the Bel Canto USB Link to feed my Heed Dactilus (SPDIF input only). I admit that I’m no expert in this area, but I’d be willing to bet the Bel Canto route would produce les... 
Small Floorstander That Uses Ribbon Tweeters?
Dave,Take a look at the Salk Sound Songtowers with the "RT" (RAAL ribbon tweeter) upgrade. They appear to be receiving some good press. 
Speaker recommendations for small space
Amansker,I just transitioned from a small space using 2-way stand mounts to full range floor standers in a larger area. If you’re open to box speakers, take a look at the M12’s I listed last night. I’ve owned quite a few speakers costing more than...
