Hi George_C,

Incoming !!! wink

I agree to an extent with one of your sentiments above, in that I think there is too much OT stuff on here these days.

e.g. which screen should I buy, how do I rip CD's, shall I buy a Mac, etc etc

There are far more specialised forums for that type of query and the link to M is thin at best.

However, I disagree that such significant developments, like the server approach, should not be discussed. They are a massive challenge to our world of M and for sure will play some part in the 2nd hand values of our kit today.

You can absolutely bet the folks at HQ are debating exactly very seriously the same stuff e.g. how does that �200 'toy' sound 'as good' as our GXX machine ???

HQ will not be worrying about MAc's, ripping or screens etc (at least not as much)

Maybe that's what should distinguish how far OT a subject should be ??

One thing we shouldn't do is put heads in the sand. That's what many vinyl-heads did when CD's came out. It's inevitable, Mr Anderson !!

I think we will see a greater input/interaction with HQ in the future. I think the forthcoming visit is an indication of that already.

Anyway, glass is more than 1/2 full. The music sounds awesome as ever !!!

Cheers

Rgds,
Nick
