Hi guys, I'm just starting an interest check thread for stocking the Astell & Kern products at Superfi around the UK.

Spotify Rig
Hi guys, I'm quite interested in this Spotify lark as the content seems to be getting better all the time and as a Pink Floyd fan, the recent addition of their library appeals to me too.

Apple Lossless or PCDP with MFSL CDs?
Hey all, Haven't asked any questions here for a while, so I thought I'd throw this one out there. I'm considering starting a collection of MFSL CDs and probably some DCC too, but what I'm wondering is whether they will lose a significant amount of what makes them sound so good if I were to...- Overheat

iPods better than CD Players yet?
Well, I want the best quality sound, and by that I mean detailed and warm with lots of presence. I've always been a big fan of Duncan's reviews of PCDPs and I know he compared the 5G ipod to the CD Players with less than impressive results, so is that still the case or have MP3 players caught up...- Overheat
