    $2,000-3,000 Tower speaker comparison: Need help picking the contenders

    OP, I think you may be confusing the SCSTs with the standard Songtower with Raal upgrade. The SCST starts at $3500/pr for standard veneer.

    There is a trial period as long as it's a standard veneer.

    This is Pizza

    Yes, the real Neopolitan stuff is amazing. A VPN certified place here has a beautiful oven he imported from Italy that cooks the pies in 90 seconds. He makes his own cheese and the basil is picked fresh off the plant for every order. His water is modified and he uses only certain types of flour...

    Re-ripping all my music

    You could run logitech media server on your PC (free), use squeezeplay (free) to play it on your PC. Use ipeng ($10) on your ipad to control it. Great interface for browsing large collections.

    Bdp 95 now or wait

    I'd wait. There are reports that the new ones will do Netflix 1080p and have two HDMI inputs. The replacement for the 95 will also work as a USB DAC.

    New Logitech UE Smart Radio- bye bye Squeezebox

    Looks like Logitech is finally pulling the plug on Squeezebox. They're gone from their site and have been replaced with the UE Smart Radio, which will use a different server/client system. There's a few interesting threads on the slimdevices forums. Current users should still be ok for a while.

    B&W 802D: 3rd Time's a Charm on Friday the 13th

    I'll have to look this weekend. It won't play in multi-channel through my squeezebox, I found it when browsing using a DLNA server through my Oppo before I had the SB set up.

    B&W 802D: 3rd Time's a Charm on Friday the 13th

    I've been listening to some bluegrass lately since it's on a HD a friend sent me. Check out the Pizza Tapes with Jerry Garcia,David Grisman and Tony Rice. Also ran across a multi-channel recording of Bela Fleck that's cool, feels like you're right on stage with the band.

    portable headphones, not in-ear

    Yes, I've read that too. Unfortunately Brookstone doesn't carry the 1350 right now. I may hold off to see if they start carrying it, I may earn more credit in the meantime. Interesting that BD lists the 1350 under "headphones for live applications" while the T50 is under "mobile/portable"

    portable headphones, not in-ear

    Any Beyerdynamic fans? I can get a $200 credit to use at Brookstone for some surveys I fill out, could get the T50p for about $75 out of pocket.

    portable headphones, not in-ear

    Thanks for the suggestions. It's really hard to find places to demo these. I'm going to check in Best buy and the Apple Store just to try various styles. The only thing that was suggested in this and other forums that I can find locally are some Grados.

    portable headphones, not in-ear

    Thanks, lots of good suggestions. I don't mind spending more to get a quality product. The AKG K450s are $71.50 on Amazon. I've seen several recommendations for the Koss Portapros which are $32. Will have to compare some open vs closed styles to see what I prefer. I can't find any local place...

    portable headphones, not in-ear

    Looking for a pair, mostly to use with an iphone while on vacation on the beach. I hate anything in my ear. Will also use them occasionally with my macbook at home. Mostly classic rock, iphone has best quality MP3 trancoded from Flac. I don't listen very loud. Would like to keep them fairly...

    Use a program other than itunes to rip to Flac, EAC, XLD, there are others. Keep those intact. Use XLD to transcode to a lossy format (MP3) and put into itunes library (a setting in XLD). XLD will do this in batches, you don't have to manually do every file.

    Rip to Flac, it's the most widely used lossless format. Then use XLD (free) to transcode to MP3 right into itunes so you can download into your idevices. I use a Squeezebox to play my lossless audio on my big system.

    Bad things come in 3s, looks like you got all 3 out of the way yesterday. Sorry to hear about your speakers, luckily you have backups. What's the difference with the D2s? Newer model, more expensive?
