| Why do intelligent people deny audio differences? Great comments from Cwlondon and Timpani. | |
| What's Going On?? Sound changes every night Could be an electric problem, but it could also be you and the attitude (mood) you bring to the listening session. Stress, hormones, noise exposure, amount of sunlight, barometric pressure, etc. all effect you ability to relax. While not a panacea... | |

| dbx Expnders - 3bx, 5bx Using the dbx products may or may not sound better than the unprocessed music, but they are definitely not uncompressing the compression used in the record making process. Modern recording technique is to use compression and limiting at multiple s... | |
| iTunes idiot needs some help iTunes can maintain multiple formats of the same song in the same library. Start by importing the music uncompressed (wav of aiff format). Then go to Preferences and change the importing format to your desired compression scheme (mp3 or aac). High... | |
| Subwoofer X/O frequency experiments My experience is that playback volume strongly influences how well the main and subs mix. What works at low volume levels is way to prominent at normal and high volumes. | |
| Music from hard drive better than CD? I don't know if it will outperform all CD transport/DAC combos, but a hard disk computer system is capable of very high quality. The Apple G5 is an excellent starting platform. In combination with iTunes and an iPod (optional) you'll have unparall... | |
| CD v.s LP - When comming from the same MASTER Two comments, the D/A converters used in mastering houses (dCS, Prism, Apogee, EMM, etc.) are readily available to well heeled audiophiles. Vinyl is a pale comparison to the analog master tapes. If redbook digital sucks, then vinyl just sucks a li... | |
| Music from hard drive better than CD? Doesn't Revox and/or Goldmund make something like that already. Linn also comes close. | |

| About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone I always thought you had one of the coolest webnames. Best wishes. | |

| What Do You Get When You Spend Megabucks? Part of the reason why I put forth Lakefrontroad's system is that it has been carefully assembled by a knowledgeable audiophile with a written record of the process, it's not clear that the system(s) you extoll have the same pedigree.I'm actually ... | |
| What Do You Get When You Spend Megabucks? If you concede better bass extension to another system, then how can it truly be SOTA? My concept of SOTA is that it cannot be outperformed in any given performance area. Equalled, yes, but not outperformed. I'm purely speculating about the qualit... | |
| iTunes star ratings, play count, playlist info The iTunes library file keeps track of where the music files are located, so when copying your music files you would have to maintain the same drive heirarchy in the new location in order to make use of the old library file. Assuming that's the ca... |
