What do I need to play ripped CD's?
Is it as simple as putting a Mac, hopefully fanless and with and SSD drive, down in my man-cave, hooking it up to the Wadia via Toslink and controlling with the Apple iTunes remote app? 
A whole new meaning to "live" music
I have gremlins. In short order, my projector died (power source), VP30 went south. Cary Cinema 6 died and took the Watt 5 that I was using as a center channel with it with a loud "POP".New projector on the way and speaker refurb. underway.But my ... 
A whole new meaning to "live" music
Now we can start the debate on long grain verus short grain versus instant rice. Which one gives the best sound? 
Drop ship components from a Wilson dealer?
Thanks for the tip!When it rains, it pours! I noticed that one of the drivers on my Series 2 Puppy is torn as well. Any pointers on a suitable replacement speaker or a place that has done a good job reconing these? 
iPod Hifi
I listened to one at the Apple store in Burlingame yesterday. Sounds about what you would expect for the money. To me it sounded very forward and a shade bright. No immense soundstage or pinpoint imaging coming from this little speaker. It started... 
New scam on the internet????
Whenever I get one of these emails I click on the link. When prompted for my password I type something like "bite.me" 
buyer beware of late
I got burned a few years ago using Fedex COD to sell a laptop.The crook gave fedex an obviously fake money order which they sent to me. I didn't look closely and deposited the MO. A few weeks later my bank called me and told me the money order was... 
What time do you wear?
Luminox for daily wear--Love the tritium inserts which glow brightly all the time. Rolex GMT master in my dresser drawer. Haven't worn it since I learned about watches. Vacheron Constantine for dress up.

Tube iPod available at $99 Retail $9,099.99
Is this a joke?I wonder how long before they get the "cease and desist" letter from Apple? 
Best small intro to tubes?
Lots of votes for Prima Luna and nothing but good reviews as far as I can see. I may be giving them a call shortly.It'll be a weird setup. Probably using a pair of Wilson Watt 3's as speakers and an iPod (with lossless compression) as a front end ... 
How to add woofers to Wadia, Classe, Wilson setup?
John,Thanks for the reply. I've got the setup up and running now and am enjoying the sound. It's tempting to turn up the bass but I know that what I really want is just to fill it in a little and not overemphasize things.Which Entec's did you use?... 
Wilson Watt 5 with Puppy 2, will this work?
If I understand you correctly, you are saying that I should have my speaker cables out of phase with the Puppy unit and the Puppy tail out of phase with the Watt. The end result is that the Pupps are out of phase but the Watts are back in phase.Am... 
Levinson 383 a good match for B&W 803D's
Thanks for the advice. I found a good deal on a pre-owned CA2200 and am going to pick it up tomorrow. Gotta love it when someone buys something you want, changes their tastes and resells at a loss.How do the 803D compare to the 803S's for imaging?...
