| Ipod Lockup with Wadia 170i Transport I had this with my car ipod hookup (dice interface), it did it about once a day for a month and then miraculously the problem stopped and has not been an issue again. hopefully your issue will recitfy itself as well... | |

| Are high-end manufacterers pricing themselves not to mention the story that popped up where someone dissected one of the vd cables and found it to be no more than cheap belkin wire braided...caveat emptor. | |
| MDF vs. Steel Speaker Stands I like steel, especialy since it is mass loadable.I'd look for some osiris audionics stands. they should be $200-250 used, but are as good as any stand I've ever heard and are built to withstand wwIII | |
