Is an IPOD hi-fi?
Never heard a normal iPod in my system, but the Red Wine iMod is really great. Easily beat my $1000 CDP. 
iPod directly into amp
Why not go for a cheap but powerful and good-sounding NAD integrated? And if your iPod is 4th generation, get it modded by Red Wine Audio. Stunning sound. 
Phono Section on Unison Res. Unico 80w amp
Hi,I'm currently using the Unico's phono section. I find it to be clean, resolving, and inkeeping with the sweet Unico sound. For a while, I was using an Antique Sound Lab mini phono in its place, but that didn't last. 
Playing Customs Games with Our Northern Neighbors
I was always under the impression that there is no duty on used merchandise. Is that not the case? In my experience, when I've written USED MERCHANDISE on the customs label, there no duty has to be paid.

Hi folks,Thanks very much for the advice. I did a bit of research on the Project speed box. The price is certainly right. I'm not optimistic, though, that it'll work with the Goldring table. I'll call musicdirect tomorrow and see. I'm definitely l... 
DC Metro
Hi folks,I'd be very interested in joining the club. I live near the Eastern Market. No car, though. Are most of these meetings metro-accesible? 
Serious hum problem. Help
Hi folks,Thanks for your help. I installed a ground rod outside and connected to the cable splitter with some copper wire. Nothin' doin'. I'm not sure I set up the ground rod correctly- can someone give me a run down on how grounding a system work... 
Tube amp coffee table book
That's the one! Thanks very much, Matt. 
Tube amp coffee table book
Hi,Sadly I don't remember the dealer's name. A friend and I stopped by on a whim and just took a quick look around. It's not "the tube amp book". Thanks though. 
Which cheese?
Triangle and Tau. It's a Spanish goat cheese. Best thing in the world. If you EVER come upon it, by as much as you can. 
Tube rolling suggestions for Unison Unico
Hi Tvad,By lifeless I mean one-dimensional, kind of flat, and "slow" sounding. I wouldn't say there's a lack of body, but perhaps we're describing the same characteristic in different words. The bass is also not as strong as with the stock Phillip...
