Ipod Server-Why not?
I think using a laptop can be more convenient. With the iPod you basically have to keep it in the dock cradle. Whic is a PITA when you want to change albums or titles. With a laptop you can use iTunes, get an iTouch, use the router, download the i... 
Best steak to eat while listening to your rig?
@trelja. I was never an Italian water ice fan so Ritas isn't my top choice. But in honor of this thread I'll go to Primos tomorrow. :) Tony Luke's is a bit of a distance from me but we have Nick's Roast Beef here in the NE and they make a great ro...

I haven't been to the Whitehouse in many years. But I remember eating there as also being an event as much as the great hoagies. I've been able to "star watch" there on a few occasions. The roll was the key to their hoagies. I didn't like the chee... 
If you could bring back one great artist that has
@mapman. I'd like to believe if Cobain had still been around his music would have evolved. I can't necessarily say the same about Janis but I just loved her voice. Speaking of the 27 Club members, I wonder how Morrison would have progressed? Did T...

@mapman. For bad or worse their pain helped their talent. Listen to Clapton, Dylan or Floyd. You can tell by their songs and the different times or stages in their lives. Even Miles Davis. Picaso. There are many artists that use their personal tra...

@MrTennis. I know enough doctors to know they have as many bad habits as anyone. lol. They drink, smoke, have poor diets, do drugs...

@ Mapman Pink Floyd isn't exactly uplifting but there's no denying their place in rock. I do believe, however that both Janis' and Cobain's music would have grown and somewhat matured as time went by. Especially Cobain's. I believe he had a way of...

@ Trelja. That's easy. Steve's Prince of Steaks in the NE. Forget Pat's, Jim's, Geno's or Tony Luke's. Anyone that tries Steve's is an instant convert. That said, you can do a pretty fair job at home using thinly sliced ribeye and a good roll. Don...

Miles Davis, Louis Armstrong, Kurt Cobain and Janis Joplin 
Best steak to eat while listening to your rig?
Thinly sliced ribeye, a thin crusty roll, fried onions and a good melting cheese. Or what we colloquially call a Philly Cheesesteak wit. 
Where does your user name come from?
Baka is Japanese for "stupid". 1969 is the year that my ex wife and I were born. So basically it's a dig at the both of us. 
Pink Floyd in HI REZ......finally
No-one can have too many copies of Pink Floyd. I've had them in vinyl, 8 track, cassette, and CD. Several times over in many cases. Now I'll buy them again... I'll pass on the Best Of though. Floyd should only be listened to by their original albu... 
Old vs. New
Isn't the Rega Saturn supposed to sound warm and analogue-like? Heck, isn't the entire Rega line supposed to have that character? Yes, obviously the 'tables are analogue. But I'm talking about their CD players, amps and speakers. These are all 21s... 
Great sounding CDs out there...
@RcrerarI have to disagree. I thinks it's a good sounding recording. No it's not "Jazz at the Pawnshop" but for a rock recording from that era I find it better than most.
