One of my current fave is Angela Hewitt's Fantasia, Invention, and etc. Hyperion CDA66746.

600 sounds more sweet and brighter but 650 has few more octaves of bass and cleaner sound. I was driving myself nuts deciding which was better for nearly 6 months until 650 came out ahead by a hair. Now madness starts all over with 5000, 650 and RS1, there can be only one.

For those of considering Rega Planet, new upcoming Apollo will replace that model. So you might want to wait and see...

NM, found what I was looking for

Did John change the production methods for later HF-1s? My 266 doesn't show any plastic blemishes like early model pictures.

Average computer newbie here (well a mac), but doesn't PC systems resend packets when it is lost or corrupted during transmission while there isn't any retransmission for audio equipment?

Does Todd send out emails with fedex tracking numbers on it after it is shipped? Because I live in a closed apartment building, fedex guy can't leave me a note to make myself available the next day.

Now I remember, ayt moved that during the meet. It must of been the accu's redbook holding down that amp.

It was redbook. Was the denon at the right or left in front of the fireplace? Stax from the right side was the best electrostatic setup at the meet.

I didn't much care for Accuphase but SIE's source blew me away, by far the best source at the meet. Thanks ID for EMU demo as it made a case for itself and I might buy a G5 tower over a powerbook just for that. Any of you with usb/firewire soundcard experience can tell me if it is comparable...

IMO buying from high volume dealers like amazon, jandr, and apple.com are best if you want iPods only few months out of production line.

You shouldn't buy any iPod which has been sitting on the shelves for more than a year. Battery age starts ticking the moment it comes out of the production line and basically your new iPod will have similar degraded battery life as other year old iPods.

Why is it all of you think working in a different country is a cool thing? Away from friends and family, it'll have to be lot more $ for me to consider working overseas.

Do you hold your entire music collection on your mini-iPod? WOW, you should buy more music if that's the case. There's no way I'll be able to do that even with 40G iPod. Your solution might be to refresh the songs on your mini-iPod like once a week.
