Shift Happens

Nov 21, 2010
Stereophile.com was feeling a little bit old.

We'd have to go back to September 2005 to recall the last major changes made to our website. It was then that we began adding our forums and blogs, which moved slowly at first, went through some growing pains, and finally became some of our most popular online destinations. About a year later, we made other minor revisions, altering the look and feel of our site to make it friendlier, more attractive, and easier to use.

These were all great moves, but the nature of the Web demands near-constant renewal. The time had come for some tube-rolling. Or, if you prefer, we needed to augment our physical media with a high-res, lightning-fast, computer-based system. Look at it however you like. The situation was clear: We were overdue for a facelift.

NuForce CDP-8 CD player

Nov 21, 2010
"So, what are you reviewing these days?" my friend Mark e-mailed me recently.

"A CD player," I said.

"They're still making those?"

Yes—and better than ever, for the most part. But I understood Mark's confusion. When a "Vote!" question on the Stereophile website asked readers what digital source components they used, a surprising number responded that they did not, or hadn't bought a dedicated player in years. Topping the list were computers and universal players.

We plan to go live with a revised Stereophile.com by Monday morning. The revision includes moving all of our content -- reviews, blogs, and forums and galleries -- to a single server. For viewers, this means larger images, a better Search tool, lots of Sort options, and the ability to comment on all content.

A Beginning

The Entry Level
Submitted by tyjohnson16 on

Hi, I'm hoping in the future to have enough cash to do something serious with my equipment, but in the meantime
can anyone advise me on whether/how I can get good sound for a headphone setup? My music library is CD and high quality MP3 (PC) based. I have been reading about DAC units and high quality CD players but I'm not sure what makes the most sense or how to drive the headphones adequately. In short I have PC and CD based music and I can choose good headphones, it's what goes in between that I'm unsure about (and would the results be decent?). Thanks for any advice.
