Last week, on our homepage, we asked:

"Should an iPod dock be considered a standard component for a high-end audio system?"

The question seemed appropriate due to Krell's release of their KID iPod dock. The results were interesting, with 56% of our respondents saying No (or Double-No!) and 41% saying Yes.

The comments were nothing if not passionate (and often funny). For instance:

"That'd be like spreading caviar on a hotdog!" [Sounds good to me.]

and

Sorry if this is a silly question - is there a reason why I can't use a 10" take-up reel when playing a 7" tape?

Thanks :-)

I am looking to purchase a system to run my outdoor speakers. I am not an audiophile, however I am trying to get the most bang for my buck. I am looking at the Bryston B-100 SST C series as the integrated amplifer and adding another amplifier to this integrated amp so that I can run one set of speakers to each amplifier for a minimum of 150 W per channel to each of the speakers. I am running Mirage Oaisis 6 outdoor speakers and love the sound quality that they put forth, however I am looking to upgrade the source as well.

If you like albums like Herbie Hancock's Thrust and Headhunters then you are going to love two CD's that sound as full and rich as they are funky.

The Best of Bad to the Bone is a collection of great songs from this funk group established 10 years ago in New York. This is funk jazz with a combination of sounds that will may have your subwoofer knocking down some walls ! I had to turn my hi-fi down a couple of knotches but the sound coming from my Paradigm 100's blew me away.

Hi all, I was just wondering if H/K still makes respectable products? My brother is looking to buy a new receiver to replaced his failed unit. He can get an H/K 3480 for $218.00. It seems to have very good specs, and everything I have read about it is very encouraging. I just thought I'd check hear first. I might add his budget is very limited.
