Okay, here you are: You're a Real World music lover trying to sling together a Real World hi-fi rig. You gotcha budget-king NAD/Rotel/JVC/Pioneer CD player, your SOTA Comet/Sumiko Blue Point analog rig, and your cool-man NHT/PSB/Definitive Technology entry-level speakers. Hell, you've even gone out and bought a few pairs of Kimber PBJ interconnects to hook it all up. This ain't no dog and pony show&#151;you want that High-End High, not just some cheap'n'cheerful, low-rez rig to stick in the rumpus room so the kids can listen to that weak-ass, <I>faux</I>-grunge, watered-down Hendrix-howl that modern-day wimp-boys like Pearl Jam dish out to anyone under 30 who doesn't know any better.

Vic Chesnutt with Guy Piccolino(Fugazi) and members of Godspeed you black emporer..last night

this all took place at the Soapbox Laundro Lounge (which, by the way, is the only combination club/tatoo parlor/and laundromat I have seen in all my years!)Great show last night...little on the hard side of soft for me, but enjoyable nonetheless. only major quip other than the drunken, stupid fucking chatty kathy drunk women and fratboy douchebag types(one of which I helped the bouncer throw out) was the dismal sound from the house... bass was very boomy and nondistinct...everything just in your face..

"An even Bigger Issue"

John A:- >>> "We all now live in a bath of 2.4GHz radiation, which, coincidentally, is the frequency microwave ovens operate on. Look at the dimensions of Ted Denney's bowls: could it be that they are diffracting/reflecting that RF bath away from the listener, thus improving his state of mind and his receptivity to the music?" <<<

Ted D:- >>> "Actually John they do exhibit some rather interesting characteristics at very high frequencies." <<<

John Surman's Brewster's Rooster

John Surman's Brewster's Rooster

John Surman, a saxophonist of jazz, folk, church, and avant-garde influences, has been a longtime denizen in the ECM stable without gaining much renown. When he recently played at a New York club, leading a rhythm section of guitarist John Abercrombie, bassist Drew Gress, and drummer Jack DeJohnette, he acknowledged to the crowd that he was the only player who needed introducing.

Ok, the dumb 'PC as server' questions

I am considering trying to use a netbook as source...The questions:

1. Is anyone aware of a netbook that has a CD or DVD tray?
2. is it possible to connect a netbook to a DAC without using an USB port (ie, does the thing have a digital out anywhere?)
3. does anyone know of a netbook with decent hard drive capacity?

I want to run a netbook via a digital out to a basic benchmark DAC...(no usb port)

4. Is this possible...

I do not desire to spend a fortune on this experiment. All I want to buy is the netbook....
