Alesis masterlink arrived
Yeah I sued UPS and won when they denied responsibility for damaging a CD player I paid insurance on. I came out smelling like a rose on the deal too. 
How to stop iPod Syncing?
Yeah these guys are right, you are crazy not to get an external drive, unless you consider your labor worth less than 50 cents an hour. Your music is not backed up on the ipod and you can't get it back out without buying a program like ipod libera... 
Alesis masterlink arrived
I go record out of my Ayre K1x preamp via Oritek X-2 interconnects into a Wadia 17 AD converter then XLR digital via Yammamura Millenium digital cable to the digital in on the Masterlink. This is far and away better than simply going analog in on ... 
Help with uninspiring sound with my turntable.
check that your Vta is correct. If your arm is quite a bit higher in the back then this might be your problem. If it is closer to parallel to the platter them most likely not.

Amp for VR4SR
I would suggest as much power as you can possibly get. I think they can sound uninvolving unless they get plenty of power. I chose the Parasound JC-1s over the VTL 450s and am using a solid state Ayre K-1x preamp. Maybe dynamics won't be at the to... 
USB Cable Ridge Street Audio/Synergistic Research
Someone here on Audiogon mentioned that he had both. I asked him for his opinion and he said if he had to pick one it would be the Ridge Street cable. I ordered one of the Ridge Street cables when I saw the 40% off deal. It has a 45 day money back... 
Possible to convert Apple Lossless to WAV.?
I have over 4000 CDs ripped via apple lossless and have had no problems at all. 
components vs integrated vs "lifestyle solutions"
Wow! I'm going to have to check out that unit, looks like a great little one box solution. I am also sick of the huge hot amps and giant wires, I've had it. I don't think however the Outlaw receiver is going to replace 15K worth of front end gear.... 
What cartridge do you use with your Whest PS.20?
I've used a Shelter 90X, Dynavector 10x5, 20XL, 20XH and XX-2 mk2 all with good results. 
Connecting my turntable to Quad 12L Active speaker
It sounds like you are connecting your phono stage to another phono stage. You need to connect the Bellari to a regular line input and ground your turntable at the Bellari phono stage. So don't use the phono input on your preamp from the Bellari, ... 
TV On The Radio
Yep I like em a lot and thanks for the heads up on the release of the new album. I picked up something recently at Amoeba records called Celebration, it said file under TVOTR, so I bought it. It's really great, check it out if you don't already kn... 
USB DAC's ?
YOu don't need a DAC from Wavelength or Benchmark. You need an interface to get from USB out from your mini to a digital format your Emm Labs DAC will accept. This would be perfect and on the cheap. http://www.trendsaudio.com/EN/Index.htm 
For all you Lounge Lizards
Thanks for the recommend. From your title I thought it was something about the group The Lounge Lizards. That is worth checking out too. Good stuff. 
How would you run an audio salon?
I would be nice, very nice to any and all who bothered to come in. I have been to one to many shops where they act bothered by your presence and if you do get a demo they think based on listening to their crappy sounding system you should be ready...
