The cd player is not more a suited hifi reproducer today.

The quality it's give you related the price is very low.

The new format you have to use is an usb device theat means:
hard disk
memory
telephone connection

Using a Teac Wap5000 costing 250$ you can:

reproduce internet radio also at 320kb/s
record it on HD
reproduce with media player selection by its graphic terminal of what you have ob hd/memory usb or connected wireless by your pc.

The quality of mp3 using its internal DAC is at level of cd player costing 500 $.

Some time ago, I posted here about my need for some good "bookshelf" speakers and, thought a bit of research, I determined the AudioEngine 5's would suite my needs.

I then posted that they lacked just a little in the bass area, and that I missed it.

But tonight, with my wife and child away for the weekend, I was able to crank these speakers up a bit as I would like, but which would normally wake a 3 year old and I found the bass.

My feet want to feel the bass.

Just want to wish everyone a wonderful weekend. The weather's been beautiful here in NYC, and I hope the weather's been just as nice where you are. I'm looking forward to enjoying more spring sunshine --- in addition to taking part in some hardcore vinyl appreciation!

Cheers, everyone.
