Rack Recommendation for VK-600
I second the Grand Prix. I could not believe how much the sound improved when I changed from the Sand Box style amp stand to the Grand Prix. The Apex feet make it even better. 
The iRoc.. like the eBunny... still going...
I owned the musicstream dac for a while and didn't think it was all that great. I preferred the sound of my mhdt paradisea + to it. Furthermore dealing with Larry Moore was a nightmare. He refused to answer emails and phone calls. I ended up being... 
Getting back into digital. Please help.
Musicslug. Which USB DAC did you listen to? 
Divorcing..Splitting the cd collection..
What Macdadtexas said. It seems complicated but it's really not that hard. If you got yourself a mac mini and a hard drive you could rip all the music within a few weeks time and then let your wife keep the CDs. Hard drives are so cheap now days t... 
Accuphase &Proac
Oh and you could try emailing Proac to see what they think but they probably won't respond. I've tried numerous times to get a simple question answered and it took forever for them to respond and then they really don't answer the question either. ...

You need to take into account the size of your room more than anything. If it is a big space then no 30 watts is going to sound weak. If it's small, like 12x16 or so then you might be OK. I have been amazed at how much different an amp can sound i...

Sounds like a valid concern. If you have a very big room it might not be the best match. 
Best Integrated Under $3000
If you can't audition these then you are going to have to take a leap of faith. Chances are that if you haven't ever owned any good gear then anything is going to sound pretty good and you will be happy. You will only know if you get them all and ... 
iPhone as a music player....same as iPod??
Yes it can. I have had a little bit idiosyncratic performance on the Wadia dock but straight out of the headphone jack no problems at all. It has a little bit brighter crisper sound than the ipod classic 120gb which can be both a good and a bad th... 
Has anyone ever switched to Harbeth
Taters, I don't think this is obscure at all. I think you have a perfectly valid question and Tholt is just being a jerk. You should grab a pair of the Harbeths and then write up a nice comparison for us all to read. One thing is the Dynaudios def... 
New favorite VINYL Album?
New Arcade Fire??? The last album they released was 2 years ago. 
Question about iPod Classic
I agree that the ipod sounds better than a CD transport when docked to the Wadia and feeding a digital signal to a DAC. However it does not sound even close to as good as almost any CD player when plugged straight into a system via the headphone o... 
Dan Auerbach - Keep It Hid
Yep, I've had this for a while and just recently gave it a few good listens. He very talented and writes some great songs. I liked it a lot. Another good one I heard that had kind of the same effect as far as me thinking they have a lot of talent ... 
3 Recomendations
Allot it a word. And Richard I am sorry and embarrassed that my fellow audiophiles turned your post into this. Thanks for tip on the records, I will have to check those out sometime or is it some time? 
Ultra Fi ECM Digital Noise Preventer
You must be very cautious in dealing with Larry Moore of Ultra Fi. He sold me a Musicstream DAC with a 15 day return privilege and then refused to return any emails or answer any phone calls. I feel it is my duty to inform other fellow audiophiles...
