Re: Should Audio Components Sizes Be Standard?
No. Constrains design parameters, which is why we pay the big bucks. Also, what would we do with all that time previously spent arranging odd sized stuff on our racks?

Re: Taiko Audio Olympus Music Server

Re: Advice Needed: Most rapid way to read and rip CDs to RAW
I had mine ripped by a service and it worked well. I have a small collection of about 350 CDs and it cost about $600, including the thumb drive they loaded them onto.

Great read. Now I have to go look at G-Shocks. Where's the best place to get an overview and who do you use for a retailer? I bought my last G-Shock off of amazon. Thanks for the informative post.
