I couldn't think of a better place to post this considering my question concerns storage of digital media...

Earlier today, when dusting and cleaning the area around my stereo setup, a mini-disaster occurred... when attemping to move the relatively cheap CD bookshelf I own, filled with several hundred discs, the screws and wooden pegs that held the sides to the top shelf came apart, leaving the majority of my collection on the floor.

I came across my dad's old Kenwood Basic M2A system yesterday and was listening to the tuner for a while. I wanted to try plugging the DVD player into it when it died. Now the main amp doesn't want to switch on anymore. When I try to turn on the power, the power light just doesn't stop blinking.
Need your help. Thank you.

I went to the Dark Side today off the "Phile" news page and downloaded MSO Saint Sans Symphony #3. 80+ megs in about 8 minutes for all of $5.99. It would have cost me more than that to drive to my nearest outlet...and if they had it, paid even more.

The Binaural sound is excellent. Even as I listen through my $80 Firewire Behringer FCA 202 I cannot complain about the fidelity...I have symphonic CDs that sound worse for sure.

Viewing it on my waveform editors in Sony SoundForge or WavePad it is nice to see the dynamic range left intact.

I started small into the better quality stereo stuff by getting a Creek OB-11 headphone amp with quality interconnects. When I use it the bass sounds distorted but if I turn on the receiver it's connected to that problem disappears. I also disconnected the interconnects from the amp to receiver and that worked too. Any ideas?

Looks like soem "PA" speakers did a great job at the show....TAS dude thinks it possibly best of show, pretty cool for the PA speaker company, dontcha think. So much for teh myths that somehow a PA speaker which this ain't is something less of a speaker. The fact that they can handle extreme sound levels, poor enviroments, mean they are well made, not just dressed up fancy cabinets tot add useless frills. DD66000 from JBL..... So many pro brands that are ignored for using in home.

So i is perrusing the Stereophile competitors in writings...seems like the $100,000 platter sitting on a motor!!! DISAPPONITED for teh 2nd year at teh show according to the observer!!!! Wonder what MF thinks about it, any response? How on earth could something that costs so much deliver so little? An Audi RS4 is "only" $72K, it's got lotsa recise bearings motors, controllers fit and finish beyond a work of art..I continue to wanna know...HOW CAN ANYTHING cost $100,000 that is a spinning platter on a motor!!! And then be a DISSAPOINTEMENT!!!!!!!!
