build a custom case for a graphical squeezebox. I've looked at the Roku and don't like some of it's limitations and reliance on someone else handling the server software. I've had a SliMP3 for a year and a half and will likely buy a graphical sque... 
Norah Jones on Bluenote??
the new album has been in circulation for a few days at least. If you liked her first album, you'll probably like this one as well. Nothing ground breaking, but it will sell a ton of copies and flush Blue Note's warchest for other endeavors. Anyth... 
Describe the way you use file sharing
I've used to it for the following:1.) to get prerelease listens to my favorite artists. Peter Gabriel - Up was on WinMX about 3 weeks before it was released. The tracks on file sharing also included a very good song that was available on the promo...

Krell or Classe Integrated for Sonus Faber Concert
I ran the 300i w/ Concertos (and Transparent Super bicable) for a while. The Krell offers great control of the lower range of the Concertos abilities, but the detail can be excessive (read bright) unless you are very careful with your other compon...

N0 Herman, but you're not the first one to ask me if that's an alias... You don't really thing Twl would have had to ask this quesiton do you?... Twylie = Trey Wylie 
Attention: Dunlavy Audio Labs out of business
I agree that they made some decent sounding seakers but I for one am glad to see this (donning flame suit). About 7 years ago, I was shopping for a small set of speakers for a second system. I settled on the SCI's. After HUGE runaround and months ...

All - thanks for your responses. Very helpful.Twl - I'm having difficulty finding 1% resistors locally, but I'll probably test out and build some el cheapo rat shack ones as my first test since I'll likely have to order the higer quality ones. Thi... 
Great Small Speakers w/ high WAF?
Sonus Fabers were the only speakers I could get past the decorator and purchasing (wife). You can usually find the matching (iron and walnut side strips) fixed height stands on here for $200ish. Small enough to not stand out too much, but make ver... 
RB-300:help ;I think I'm wacked
Twl,Thank you very much for your thorough reply. As I continue to do more research on the subject, I keep coming back to the same solution you provided. I've already ordered my Heavyweight since I'll be able to use it with either the 900 or the Si... 
RB-300:help ;I think I'm wacked
OK, great thread; glad I found it. Here is my situation. I have just purchased a used Rega 25 that is coming shipped with a RB900 arm. After reading up on the mods for the 300 series arms (specifically the OL end stub and Expressimo Heavyweight) I... 
anyone else daisy chain "jitterboxes"?
Sean, I found almost the exact opposite with my experiences. In my system, separation between instruments improved; I would describe it as only a slight increase in image depth and width, but that the instruments and vocals were better localized. ... 
Best Amp/Preamp for Sonus Faber Concertino-Please
I'm assuming that you are going to be pre/amp shopping in roughly the same price range as the Concertinos... my thoughts... Consider the Concertos if you like the SF sound. If you are willing to buy used/demo, they can be had for a very small prem... 
DIY Equipment and Speaker Stands
Nhorton, right on! I just finished building some stands for Sonus Faber Concertos. Mine are a touch more stylish than straight blocks, but the exact same idea; mass, mass, mass. I started with 1 standard block (8x8x16), two half-blocks (8x8x8) sta...
