Need to replace a B&0 9000

I have had the same system for the last ten years. I have only upgraded speakers and amp. Currentlly I have A NAD Amp driving Thiel speakers. As time has gone by all my music has been migrated to an itunes libray. My current MAC is an 27 inch IMAC. I run all my music through the Aux input of the BEO 9000. My problem is that I have to have the BEO repaired again and I feel it is time to replace this as it will be the third or fourth time under the knife and it is acting as though the power supply is bad.

Best Jazz of the Year (and the Decade)

Best Jazz of the Year (and the Decade)

My annual piece on the Best Jazz Albums of the Year appears in today&rsquo;s edition of <I>Slate</I> (for which I write a regular column, though usually on foreign and military policy). This time, I also drew up two lists of the Best Jazz Albums of the Decade&mdash;one for new recordings, the other for previously unreleased historical recordings (treasure troves of which were excavated this past 10 years). Readers of this blog may recall reading about most of these albums in this space.

Gift for my dad

Hi all,

I am looking at getting some equipment for my dad. He wants to have a digital source; he said something like a portable music player with uncompressed music, but I'm wondering if there is any easier or cheaper way to accomplish this. If it matters, he has an old British Fidelity A100 amplifier and two DCM TF500 speakers. I myself am pretty new to the audiophile scene and welcome any suggestions you may have.

Spectral analysis and bit depth/resolution in Stereophile review "Measurements" section

I read thru the topical section in the Quality... article from 1995, as well as countless Measurements sections in Stereophile CDP or D/A reviews old and new.

I don't understand:

(a) how Stereophile derives bit depth from Spectral Analysis?
(b) why bit depth/resolution is randomly reported in Measurements (i.e., reported in review of a particular CD Player or D/A processor and not a particular CD Player or D/A processor in another review)?

Audio on old video's

I have some old video's of party's and family events. These often have a lot of very bad sound in addition to the conversations I am interested in. Is there a CSI like audio program that could separate out the conversations I want from the music and background noise that makes the thing a sonic mess??

On a related question/issue...I was watching a CSI again last night and once again they used a crappy surveillance video to find a car in the crime. They goosed the video to make the fuzzy license plate clear...does such video enhancement program exist??
