Ideal Listening room
Suggestion: put built in cabinets in one of the knee walls for your equipment. I have a room of similiar shape, but a little larger, which I turned into a home theater. I second the recommendation to contact Rives audio. I consulted with them on m...

Edesilva,You can use IP adressable NAS with the audiotron. The Ximeta NAS drives will not work with Audiotron. The Netgear USB NAS adapter was introduced at CES and is scheduled to start shipping in May or June. Being in the computer industry for ... 
Need help with acoustic treatment for brightness.
Hear's a real cheap and easy solution. Go over to Home Depot and buy a sheet of Hardboard (like pegboard without the holes). Cut it to the size you need (depot can do this for you). Buy some 3/4" poplar and cut it into 1" strips and staple and glu...

Second the Philips 963SA. Do the $30.00 blackgate mod to it and it gives $2000.00 players a run for the money.Good luck, 
Sig N805 owners-sub?
I use an RBH1012 sub with my N805Sig's. I have my cd\dvd player hooked up to an Anthem AVM20 on two inputs so I can turn of the sub by switching inputs. The sub adds a little extra umph but the sound pretty good without. Good luck,

How to upgrade from Aragon 4004 mkII amp
I started with a 2004 that was eventually upgraded to MKII. Then purchased a 4004 which I also upgraded to MKII. I sold the 4004 and purchased a 8008BB (old school) and love it. Works great with my B&W N805Sigs. Sold the 2004MKII recently.Good... 
Good ripping program - no compression
Retest using winamp. Was able to tell the difference between the two 22 out of 24 times. I still prefer the media player lossless compression. I'm not saying that it's better then the EAC copy; I just prefer the media player version. I think the m...
