'A brilliant piece of writing...'

摘要

I thought that Barry Willis's 'Private Radio' article [see HFN Jan '12] was a brilliant piece of writing for a hi-fi magazine as it was completely free of techno-babble. Just like Barry, I use a dedicated laptop as a music server with a portable hard drive attached. I have connected the laptop to my system via a Musical Fidelity vDAC. It sounds so good that I now rarely use my CD player. I also stream music from the net via Wi-Fi. BBC HD radio is now good enough for me to think of pensioning off my FM radio unit.
