I was looking around for a creative way to store my cd's & DVD's and came across this:

Thought I'd pass it on.

A topic I don't recall seeing discussed here...
Over the years I have heard so many reasons as to why "audiophile" pre-amps/integrated amps lack tone controls. (Yes, I know there are a few [MacIntosh] that have them.)
I'm sure there are a variety of reasons as to why. I have my own thoughts on the subject but would like to hear from those more informed, than myself.

I would really like to know!

R. Murray Shafer's Wolf music and The Princess of the stars are audiophile delights. Make sure to check them out if you ever get a chance. Wolf music was a recording done at a nature reserve in Northern Ontario. Apparently there were B&K mics all around the lake as well as microphones in canoes ON the lake. This could've been a nightmare but the mixing & mastering of the performances are world class. I hope you get as much enjoyment out of hearing this aural treasure as I did.

Having made the jump to hi-fi this year with the Arcam Solo and the Paradigm 100 speakers was one of the best decisions that I ever made. I even created a site (www.richshifi.com) so that I could share my experiences with others (Don't worry Steve it is not meant as competition to your site !). So the question then becomes when/how do you know it's time to take it to the next level. For example I am looking at a Jeff Rowland integrated amp for $5900 and wondering..OK for $5900 what am I really going to get?

I find the complaints about lossy forms of digital compression from the vinyl crowd quite ironic considering the crude form of analog compression represented by RIAA EQ. This analog compression scheme has been ruthlessly imposed on every piece of vinyl produced in the last fifty years... COME ON!
