Audiophiles hifi appreciation thread old and new

I hate tapes, always did and hated vinyl too. When CD's were launched I binned tapes and records and replaced with CD.

Now I have all my music on a dedicated laptop which is linked by WIFI to 2 x HIFI systems on Airport Express boxes. I can play any playlist on the laptop to either or both HIFIs at the same time.

Any iTunes equipped machine can also pick up the playlist and also play any music to itself or any "zone".

I can use my iPhone as a remote control.

Or at least I used to be able to do this until I got a BTHome Hub which refuses to recognise the Airport Express boxes so:
1) I told BT I'm not paying until they fix this (I checked with sales before ordering and they told me all would be well :/)
2) I met BTs Director of Research and Apps at their research centre and he had no idea you could do this, was intrigued, thought it was a router set up issue and promised his team would investigate.

But I have no music in my house since early Jan.

Hey ho.

Aw that sucks. What's your setup? And how well does airport express stream from your computer (when its working) any lag? I was looking to get one for my first separate build. Definetly beats Cds.
