Beautiful Vocals...
Jennifer Warnes, and if you love a little grit, Susan Tedeschi. 
Simple Wireless Computer Audio Setup
Actually, the sonos setup is great, and you just need a ridge and connect and she can stream all of her itunes library teo the quads. Pluss it is expandable. Only downside is it is limited to 16/44 ouput. Sounds way better than most ce players tho...

Annoying Hum SOLVED
Anyone know if this will work with a DirecTv Box? I've tried the humbuster too, and installing new ground on my electrical box. No change and yes, it is driving me nuts......T 
Need Blues Rec--burn the house down guitar stuff
Try Son Seals, Live and Burning.I always find live blues albums to be more like live shows (go figure), but the sound quality usually suffers a bit. Another great one is Luther Allison. Live at Montreaux. This guy had chops! 
The Beatles Mono Box Set or The Beatles Stereo???
Actually, it's more expensive, but you can get the stereo set on USB drive remastered in 24 bit (still at 44.1 for some reason). Much better resolution, detail, timbre.......... If, of course, you can play files off of a USB drive. 
American Folk/Bluegrass music to die for
Tony Furtado, Live Gypsy. Features Colin Wolcott from Oregon, a really nice live recording with great slide guitar and banjo from Tony.I've loved Skip, Hop and Wobble for a long time. Good to see that you've got it.If you want some fantastic finge... 
"My Dad has a system like that", she said....
When I found myself spending more time reading about gear then I did listening to it. Sick, but it shocked by out of my gear lust.For a while anyway......... 
Speaker upgrade - suggestion
Depends on budget - but for the price of VR4's I'd look at the PSB Synchrony Speakers. Best buy on the planet imho.There are lots of great speakers to choose from though. 
Squeezebox Duet VS AppleTV
My vote would be to go with a Sonos system. It's got the best reliability, a great iTouch remote ap (free), and it's got fixed or variable outs either analog, coax or optical. So you can connect it to pretty much anything and everything. And you c... 
NAD Reliability
I've had an issue with the M25 amp - sound's great, had to replace the power supply. The M15 pre/pro just quit working one day. Haven't fixed it. 
Processor as a DAC for music?
I'm using the Onkyo equivalent of the Integra 9.8 - What makes it really useful for me is that you can use the Audissy room correction which has a bigger impact on my system than anything else I've run across.You can then, still add an outboard DA... 
Lack in harmonic richness
Dazzdax - Here's a suggestion related to the Parametric EQ. My experience suggests that the problem is not your equipment - It's very likely your room.The fact that changing equipment doesn't change the outcome seems to support that. And my recent... 
Best SSP - Upgrade from Integra DTC 9.8
I've got the Onkyo version of the 9.8 (exact same except for the name) and I love it. It sound's super with digital sources and the Audissy MultiEQ is amazing. I'm running it throught a NAD M25 to PSB Synchrony 1's and I am very pleased with the s...
