The Audiophile's Wife no longer putting it out?
I certainly will miss her musings. She was very fun to read, always got a big chuckle on Friday nights when I read this wonderful blog. Hope she'll be back with her musings on what it's like to be a newbie audiophile! 
Wyred 4 Sound - DAC2 DSD SE - Excellent upgrade
Me too, but I'm wondering about the differences if you are not hooked into usb but are using Dac 2 with a Squeezebox touch as we are? Will the differences be as noticeable and worthwhile - anyone set up like this? 
Audio Stores in Virginia Beach, VA area?
If you have time to travel about 1 1/2 hours past Va Beach, you can go to Richmond and spend some time at Audio Art with Tim Harrison. I have dealt with him for the past decade. He has a great audio room at the back of his home and carries Sonus F...

"What's The Best Value Speaker In $5k-$10k Range?"
Anyone have any thoughts on Avalon Idea Speakers? They run around $8,000 new. My dealer is suggesting these might be our "retirement" speakers. They would be paired with Ayre 7xe integrated amp. Has anyone heard these? 
old newbie
I had Vandersteen 1C's for a time and paired it with NAD Cd player and integrated amp - very nice for about $1000 new. WElcome back! 
Mary Chapin Carpenter and Shawn Colvin
Yes, Mofimadness, i saw this show in my area as well, very very good. I am sorry to have missed Emmylou, Rodney and Richard this time around. 
Which OPPO?
Thanks Nonoise - should have thought of that myself - it's weird though because the system streams just fine through the apple tv....hard when you can't quite get to the back of things without dragging components out of cabinet - i swear next time... 
Which OPPO?
Well we got the 103 and it makes a great difference - very nice machine!We got everything set up and it is working well with playing movies, dvd's and cd's. We have the network hooked up, but strangely when we try to stream music from the internet... 
Which OPPO?
