| spdif vs toslink Thanks....I am using a Yamaha UW10 interface going to an old Audio Research Dac1...it sounds OK...but not as good as my dearly departed ipod...I have not bought an external drive to store my wav files and am just running it off the drive that is i... | |
| beware ipod Hey ultraviolet thanks for the info on the wav's...that makes a heck of a lot of sense...basically the ipod is not up for heavy duty wav playback which means that I am likely going to run into the same problem when I get my replacement...I am stil... | |
| beware ipod hi kublakhan...to get music onto the ipod you have to:1. Insert the CD into your computer and it will automatically pull up the track listings from the net.2. Select the songs you want to import to your COMPUTERS hard drive. You cannot load songs ... | |
| beware ipod I appreciate that most people seem to love their ipod but their is absolutely no excuse for the lack of quality control that I have encountered. As for their legendary "support"...the manual that comes with the ipod is an absolute joke...the dread... | |
| Apple Ipod I have a cable that gives me a line-out feed from the connector on the bottom of the ipod which is hooked up to the Airhead...there is lots of gain so I usually turn the amp about half way and then adjust the gain on the E5's to suit. I also bough... | |
| Apple Ipod I bought a pair of E2's before I splurged on the E5's....for around a hundred bucks the E2's are terrific!They come with a wide variety of earplugs...hard, soft, foamy in different sizes so you will be able to find some that can fit your comfortab... | |
| Apple Ipod I am also a recent iPod convert but there is one nasty little of software jiggery pockery that you should be aware of. I bought the 40gb version so that I could get about 1,000 tracks UNCOMPRESSED into the little beauty, but be aware you CANNOT ge... | |
| I need to get rid of my JBL 4311s don't I? thanks for all the suggestions...the speaker connections on the back are pitiful...especially for a pro speaker...the foam around the tweaters is starting to disintegrate and re-wiring the innards sounds like a good idea...I think I will put some ... | |
| Balanced connection/amplification for phono? Audio Research's PH2 was balanced ins and outs only. It is a fine sounding unit. | |
| Tubed CD Player I have a ARC CD1 with an ARC Dac3...it has 3 6922 tubes...can sound very nice...this combo was about 7k new and can be had rather inexpensively on this very site.I am an analog guy...but not anti-digital like some on this site...I am willing to ke... | |
| CBS Half Speeds? Digital? thanks for the insights...I always seek out first or second pressings...I have even found original sealed copies of albums that have been reissued for less money than the current version...I will be listing the CBS dogs on ebay...I notice that hea... | |
| Why vinyl? Really bad analog to digital conversions is a good reason.Sure the Rolling Stones and Beatles etc get state of the art treatment but if you like music from the 60s or minor artists the vast majority of it is awful. This holds true especially for s... | |
| Am I nuts or what? one more thing - if you like the JT album try and find an original british pressing from 1978 - vinyl quality in the UK hadn't deteriorated as fast as in the US - it is dead quiet - gorgeous - I just listened to it - I think it might have even bee... | |
| My wife touched my turntable - help please I had a buddy who's wife put the dustcover down on his LP12 - while he was spinning a disc - he completely freaked out - screaming about "turbulence - tracking etc". She looked rather bewildered and proceeded to lift it back up.My pals blood press... | |
| Reel to Reel Question? You can go really crazy and pick up great broadcast machines for decent dollars - ampex 440's - ATR100's - even the odd A80 - although they do take up more space in the old listening room and not as asthetically pleasing as a Teac 7300 let's say -... |
