Well, I just connect it to my stereo with an rca jack. Stream stuff from my computer. If I want to stream it to another room I would get another one. But I don't live in a world where outputting the music through multiple sources simultaneously makes sense.

I have it. Gave it a brief test run before the baby came and wrecked my listening time. The sound quality is excellent.

You might want to look at this as an option. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00I59VBH4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

So what they're saying is if played through these speakers Blue Note music will sound at its best? Ever????

They still have the Grammys?

I prefer his concertos over his symphonies.

Use VOX instead.

Season three was a bit of a let down. But after watching that series, follow it up with the cartoon series, done a few years later. Those were great -- short and to the point. I hated the 80's shows.

I'll let you know. Right now I am using for the commute the Amazon Basics headphones, a surprisingly excellent $25 headset that is light, comfortable, and decent but not high end sound. But let's face it, when I am on the subway I'm not gonna need all that range. What it does have is excellent clarity.

The cans should be coming in today. It is a type of headphone that has had many iterations. It is also known as the Brainwave HM5, I believe, but much cheaper, and reports from other users have been the comfort level is excellent. You can swap out the ear cups from flat to angled. The headphone wire can be removed and upgraded, if need be. The band itself is very flexible.

I did get the Fiio X11K, which complements the X1. It's an amp, and I got it for the purpose of eventually connecting it to my stereo, as well as for the NVX XPT100 headphones I ordered. Basically for late night set up to deal with baby crankiness.

They are not compatible with itunes. But you can drag and drop folders directly into the flash card via connecting the player to the computer through a micro usb cable. I picked the 1 over the 3 & 5 because of the improved physical user interface.

Just a follow up: for anyone looking for an affordable high quality music player, this Fiio X1 does the trick. The sound is excellent, and the flexibility of swapping micro sd cards is a plus. It is a bit more hands on when coming to creating playlists -- essentially you have to create a folder on your computer and add the files yourself (a known issue that will be apparently addressed in a future firmware upgrade). The operating system is smooth and you can easily put this in your shirt pocket. I am running 24/192 flacs and it is flawless. Mp3s sound very fine as well.

I have that Wand you mentioned and it is good. Not tempted to buy the big box at all. Would be very interested in the Eichhorn but am curious to see if it gets a reissue here or in Europe.

Merry Christmas to all!

The original version completely changes the tone and feel of the movie. It's a tragic, post nuclear horror story, and very serious. The later Raymond Burr tacked sequences just seem stupid by comparison.

It is solid, but light. Like a pack of cigarettes. Interface is easy to use -- an old style click wheel, a center button and four control buttons surrounding it. Headphone out can be switched to a more powerful line out to connect to an amp or stereo.

Got it in the mail yesterday -- gave it a test run this morning on the morning commute. All I can say is -- wow Very quiet sound stage, very musical and not clinical. Plays FLACs with ease, and even 320 Mp3s sound pretty damn nice.

I've ordered the Fiio X1 player. Can do FLAC and a variety of other formats. What sealed the deal for me were two things -- a very good DAC, and the ability to swap cards (up to 128 GB). I give a brief user review once I receive it.

It's a good box set. I'm listening to the Monteux set currently.

I never discussed this with you. I have no knowledge of what goes into building a home studio. It's not my field.

You going to be there today for First Thursday? No, I am stuck in DC. Sadly. Yes, I understand the isolation. You are doing the right thing.
