Will superior earphones matter with my Nano
i have travelled a similar path. upgraded earphones make a huge difference, and i would strongly suggest you check out options among Westone's alternatives. The UM2 was one of my favorites. I tried just about everything that Shure had to offer, an... 
Is the e-mail sounds like a 'SCAM' ?
i think this is the same guy who is managing his uncle's fortune in Uganda and needs your bank account info to help him get the money out. 
best or craziest speakers' design..
electronluv. it doesn't get any weirder than that. 
ac conditioner
here's a vote for isoclean. i am using an isoclean power filter in combination with their power transformer. the differenceit made for me was incredible -- equal to a compnent upgrade, as well it should be given the price! 
Brothers in Arms 1/2 Speed Mastered
great info. i have put in an order for the stan ricker 1/2 speed. i have always thought that the original Brothers is one of the best DAA or DDA recordings i have listened to. thanks. 
Any experience with the new EMM CDSA SE ?
I am willing to admit that i gave up on the CDSA too soon -- although i broke it in for over 50 hours as recommended by the retailer who sold it to me -- but i found this unit to be very underwhelming. It was neither as highly resolving as i expec...

Most expensive Audio disapoinment?
mine is not really audio equipment, but it is a disappointment. i recently bought a device that is supposed to block moronic posts in otherwise worthwhile internet forums. its not really working well at the moment, but you'll probably know when i ... 
another polarity riddle
thank for the detailed response. yes, the avantgarde duo 2.0 inverts polarity in the crossover to the treble horn. the newer omega upgrade features a crossover that maintains polarity. dont ask me why they would do it that way. the good news is th... 
Amps for Avantgarde
sorry, i thought the initial post was asking for pre-amp suggestions for AGs. for amp suggestions, here's a vote for audiopax 88s. i have them now with my Duos and, with a nice set of GEC kt-88s, i am very happy. 
AAC, AIFF, Lossless, MP3
Portugall1:You have hit what, IMO, is the MAJOR impediment to PC audio right now. If lossless is the only acceptable format and you must buy still buy a CD to get it (except for a very few opportunities to download mostly live concerts in FLAC), t... 
AAC, AIFF, Lossless, MP3
best you can do in itunes is 128CBR. there may be a few choices at 320, but that's the rare exception. 
What happened to all the tube amps?
are you serious, or just trying to provoke conversation? 
AAC, AIFF, Lossless, MP3
Cwlondon: Here, here.The best solution that i have been able to discern so far is: (1) hard drive to external adaptor (e.g., Trends Audio UD-10 or Empirical Off Ramp Turbo 2 via USB, (2) external adaptor to DAC via your preference of digital cable...
