OK here's what I've been thinking about.
If stereo Hi-Res music can be put on DVD-V discs(like Hi-Res music, Soundkeeper),why is there a need for things like HRx data discs. In other words, is there a sound quality difference? I'm not even talking about downloads, just discs.

I need a rack for my Boulder 865 integrated amp, Transparent 8 power conditioner, Esoteric X-03, and later a DAC.

In terms of the well-reviewed racks, my dealer carries the Solid Tech Rack of Silence, so that's an option (I almost bought that today, but backed out.) But I'd really prefer a rack that looks like furniture and is made out of real wood. I'd also prefer a wider, lower look.

The Finite Elemente New pagode edition rack looks nice, but it's very, very expensive, and I'd have to order it.

Hi Guys,

Back in September I posted for the first time looking for advice. I received lots of great feedback and based on your input, I ended up going in different but much better direction than I was planning.

Currently my system consists of the following:

Hi, I have been lurking for a few weeks and decided to join as I just love the in depth info on audio gear and boys toys.
I am from Richmond, Surrey and come here armed with a few nice toys myself- A Pioneer 436 plasma, Yamaha 5.1, running acoustic research air movers, Sky hd and a passion for absolute top quality audio and visuals..to the point of being obsessive!!!! My next purchase is a headphone amp,(portable) as my I phone needs some help to play full fat tunes in a convincing manner!

That's right, another "tube virgin." I just inherited a fisher 500b that collected dust for 25 years. It works and sounds ok through my equally old speakers. Now, where do I start to make this baby look and sound new? Thanks for any advice.
