I'm new to the vinyl tradition and hoping to break ground, at least intellectually. I have a set up that may give some people heart attacks-- but please bare with me as I have little knowledge and even less money.

I'm currently running a Concord BA-600 through a cheap stereo with a signal booster.

But I'm really just looking to start learning about true audiophiledom.

For somebody that likes Sarah McLachlan, what other female singers would you suggest exploring of a similar style?

Thanks.

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.
