No pics yet, but they are on their way. With the last speaker re-arrangement I put my HR732 back in use for the tunes in my weight room, playing thru my Paradigm Micros in white. I hooked up my (useless) Toshiba HDDVD player as a source, but it's so freakin slow to open & play, along with being very finicky with the disk, that I've given up on it. Anyone interested? Willing to move it on for shipping costs. Anyway, since I needed a source, I ended up trying out a Pure20 Ipod dock & DAC. It's only backround music, but the better DAC does make a difference, rather than connecting the Ipods via headphone out to RCA's. It not only plays my lossless files nicely, but it also charges the Ipod and I found Pandora, which I can play thru my Ipod Touch while docked. I know the sound quality isn't on par with Vinyl, CD's or lossless files, but there's more music than one individual can (reasonably) attain. I also can see the albums and read history about the artist, which helps with future CD purchases. So I've created another useful system that sounds pretty damned good for it's use. I also finally broke down and ordered a HRT MusicstreamerII for my office system, so I can stream my Itunes thru the M500, CT6 and Paradigm Studio 20's. Simple install and it sounds great. I have to compare the HRT and the Maverick to see if there's a big difference. I still have to tackle my back porch this spring to add a pair of speakers mounted and connected to one of my systems.
