You know it's coming: The day when CDs are no longer being pressed and all music purchases will be made online with the music being stored on a hard drive or in a memory stick.
When I look into my crystal ball I can even see that music existing in a hifi, uncompressed format or a lossless format.
But that is not what troubles me. What troubles me is the loss of a tangible medium. As I write this, I'm looking at my "wall of CDs" and my racks of LPs across the room. I'm proud of my collection. I arrange them into separate genres. I vacuum clean my LPs. I like looking at the cover

Aloha,

I alternate between different cable inputs on my digital front end. One cable is an Audio Alchemy powered coax.

The question: What gets "powered" in that rig?

Can anyone here provide any information on the Phase Linear 400 amp and the 4000 pre amp. I am looking for the good, the bad, and the ugly if any and all apply. I love the look and found a set being sold locally by the original owner but don't know anything about the quality of these vintage pieces. Thank you all.

I know this isn't an amp question but this question didn't really fit into one of the other catagories so here goes.

I you were building a house what type of eletricity/wiring would you use to power the entertainment system, and why.

I have a friend who is building a vavcation home and said the guy who does the low voltage electricity wiring in the house is doing the A/V stuff on low voltage and I had never heard of it being done that way.

As always the forums thoughts are greatly appreciated!

One of the writers recommended a Muddy Waters recording in the most recent stereophile issue. It wasn't Folk Singer but another one. Do you know which one it was?

Thanks,
