Well, if you will act as an observer. Just don't go looking at kitty's on the internet. 50% of the time you'll regret it. Unconfirmed sightings of Saucer Shaped Objects have occured

Thanks, everything sounds so much better now. Just one small problem.

Many .mkv files would agree with you. So I'm told.

I've just stopped pointing it in your direction. Did you notice the decrease in quality? Could this be outsourced, cheaper. So that an array of these were shared around the globe, based on disjoint listening patterns? Why by one, just pay for the subscription service! Announce you are listening on our special iPhone app, and our location aware service will target your current listening position, anywhere on the globe! Upgrade to the platinum service for the high charm, low strangeness mods!

"Blu-ray is just a bag of hurt. It's great to watch the movies, but the licensing of the tech is so complex, we're waiting till things settle down and Blu-ray takes off in the marketplace." Apple's Steve Jobs calls Blu-ray "a bag of hurt" -- Engadget

Correct.

As other people have pointed out, this is an expensive way to get a similar feature set as ZFS - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. (RAIDZ2 gives you 2 disk disk redundancy e.g. A Hands on Introduction to ZFS Pools; Part 3: RAIDZ2, scrubbing and resilvering - Technology for Sun Partners for an illustration) I've been wondering how long it would be before we see a ZFS based appliance. So have other people. DroboPro at SNW Looks like I may not have to wait that long. EON ZFS Storage (NAS) (eon storage)

Another vote here for the Sansa Clip+. The real plus here is the addition of remove-able/swappable micro SDHC cards meaning that you can have swappable sets of FLACS. Say 24 CD's on an 8GB, 50 on a 16GB card. With larger, cheaper cards in the future, whats not to like. There are incremental improvements in the UI (e.g. next track preview), and the placement of the controls (e.g volume control is no longer blocked if you use a right angled headphone jack.) Sound quality with decent source material, should be perfectly acceptable with JH-13's

Happy Birthday! Enjoy the cake!

I dread to think what Chekhonte is going to bridge that gap with Ceramic perhaps?

Isn't the rights issue one of the reasons that lead to the failure of DVD-A, given that they had to obtain separate rights for each of the 2.0, 2.1, 5.1 mixes and different bit rates/depths? Moving on. With the mainstream demise of the CD player, how long before a CD revival, where enthusiasts seek out of print discs, hunt down out of production players, engage in obscure rituals before listening, and enthuse about the superiority of their chosen medium

I intend to be there. Joanne and I have yet to visit Chicago, so that was an easy sell. Logistics have yet to be determined, but the plan is to take advantage of the pre and post meet festivities, and what is looking more and more like the 1st annual meeting of the JH-13's owners club

Happy Birthday! Don't wake up and find yourself in the 70's or 80's

I meant of their own stuff. Linn Records But if you have the original studio masters in digital form, why go through the DAC->ADC process, unless people like artifacts of that process. Of course, needledrops of other peoples material is a different matter.

Why don't Linn sell needle drops of their top of the line equipment, or would that eliminate vinyl/equipment sales in place of downloads?
