I find the Graham Slee Solo sounds very good, and you should be able to find it for about £325 (UK).

Is tunefulness a function of accuracy of reproduction? It's a function of accuracy of pitch reproduction, surely? 'troll OK, that's fine by me. I asked the question to discover whether there might be...

Is tunefulness a function of accuracy of reproduction? If so, I would think an arbitrarily high resolution digital recording will be indistinguishable from an arbitrarily accurate analogue recording, ...

OK, I'm happy to help. The AVA RS3 is running Windows Home Server, not Vista. Looks like it's running Windows Media Connect as well as the other media servers I mentioned. WHS is not uncommon for NAS'...

The AVA RS3 is running all sorts - Twonky, Squeeze Centre, FireFly, RealTek HD... When Leia displays it, it shows as: <ServerName>:1:Windows Media Connect The laptop has a bunch of Leia log files in t...

I just installed an Akurate DS and got it working with the Linn GUI. Seeing how poor the Linn GUI is, I installed the latest Leia (Dec 19) on both my Vista laptop and my Nokia 810 (running the latest ...

I guess it depends on the amps... In general, I would expect lower quality amps in a active configuration to sound better (or no worse than) than higher quality amps in a passive configuration. It see...

I think i get it now.You're saying there is a bigger difference between the Katans and 212s compared to the CMS Di and the unidisk ? That's how it seemed to me with my system at the time. My main poi...

... I would still bet my woolly hat that the akurates were simply showing you how much better the unidisk sc is compared to the CMS Di. Perhaps I didn't explain clearly enough - I was using active Ka...

I'm not too fussed about the forum rules myself - if I transgress, I would expect to be warned, then I could decide whether to stay or not. I don't know for sure, because they haven't said (Topica bei...

Fredrik has a nice setup here (although my screen is wider than 600 pixels! ;)), he's obviously committed to the same ideals as Linn and the site is attracting thoughtful and intelligent posters. We ...

I dunno. I emailed them at the support address when it first happened, but I haven't had a response. Mind you, Pipex have been bouncing and dropping emails forwarded to my email accounts since mid-Dec...
