A bit late to see this, but congrats Wayne!

For an all in one unit, the Naim Uniti looks cool (CDP, integrated amp, ipod connection, radio, wireless). The specs say 90 wpc into 4 ohms, not sure if that is enough for Harbeths? edit: link- http://www.naim-audio.com/products/naimuniti.html

CDPs are so 90s

Indeed nice sound from these RL LPs. Miles Davis Quintet - Steamin' 45 rpm vinyl from this box

Bloody exhausting day. But not enough to keep me from enjoying some vinyl Hendrix - Cry of Love (US Reprise Bob Ludwig mastered vinyl)

Looks like an Oppo

Oh I am a fan of quality silver cables, I'm not knocking the cable. But I'm also skeptical that the drivers were tweaked (I'll believe it if Birgir says they are, he has modded a 404LE hasn't he?). My take is that sales on the current Lambda lineup were slow and they reinvented an old product to make some money. Creating a black enclosure from existing molds and replacing a cable is probably a lot cheaper for them than redesigning drivers. I'll have to disagree with Colin that there isn't much difference between the SRM-1mk2 and BH with the treble. I compared someone's SR-007 mk1 side by side with his SRM-1 and the BHSE, the BHSE had far more presence from upper midrange up. Not sure why the O2 was brought into this though, but it seems it always is when discussing Stax

Can a silver cable really polish the turd that is the 404?

Have a good one Luis!

Are the 404LE some fotm on headfi or something

And that's the limit of iTunes. The error correction in EAC and dbpoweramp are far superior. And in my limited experience with Xact it is as well. Also being able to check and match CRC with EAC, Xact and dbpoweramp means you're getting a perfect copy. iTunes works fine for scratch free CDs. But for scratched discs and early pressed discs from West Germany (where the data layer is often very thin) the other programs work much better.

That's a neat looking device with some great features. You can basically do all of that with any computer drive, but it looks like that automates everything to be quicker. dbpoweramp with AccurateRip can be fast and secure because it checks the CRC for each track in the AccurateRip database to make sure they match. If it matches it continues in "burst" mode.

It's not that unusual to have $20k amps and not pay any attention to setup. The setup will still look impressive to guests...

And a sofa blocking the right front speaker. And the rear channels placed very high (from what it looks like).

EAC or dBPoweramp with AccurateRip will be more accurate than iTunes for discs that aren't in pristine condition. If you have a Mac xact is the ripping program of choice. And moved thread to the computer forum.

Same guy responsible for this I think I got scammed by a fellow 1000+ headfi'er... - Head-Fi: Covering Headphones, Earphones and Portable Audio

dew want to hear!!

Wait, it wasn't an AX7e you made the offer on, I thought that was an Ayre power amp? Fuck I'm a mega asshole if it was

The AX-7e is another great integrated. I only heard it with one pair of speakers though.

QNAP and Thecus, either make high quality NAS units. WD and Seagate should be about equal with failure rate. And I think they both offer the same warranty now. WD Green drives use less power.

Moved CES discussion to its own thread.
