| What is your favorite guitar solo of all time? Ronnie Earl - Amazing Grace | |
| can PC noise damage speakers? I agree with Tmesselt - there is something wrong with your computer. It should not be making any noise as you describe. Doubt it would damage your speakers though. | |
| Ripping to Mac OSX My system is similar to hgeitsman's - I always use AIFF with good results. The external HD is a 2 TB mirror by Cavlary connected to the Mac Pro with firewire. The iTunes music leaves the computer via a 1 foot long Toslink to a signal converter tha... | |
| Cable Elevators - What do you use? As a follow-up to those that participated in this thread - Not only did I elevate the speaker cables and ICs as previously mentioned, I just elevated the power cords on the mono amps and put pipe insulation around the power cords for the APC and P... | |
| How many hours per week do you listen to music? Dred: FWIW my wife could care less. We are together, she is enjoying the movie and I am enjoying the music. The only caveat is that she keep the volume of the movie at a reasonable level. It has worked well. | |
| How many hours per week do you listen to music? About 2 hours a day - a good headset (Sennheiser) turned out to be my best friend because my wife enjoys movies in the evenings. I can watch the picture and listen to my music at the same time. You would be amazed at how much of a movie you can fo... | |
| Cable Elevators - What do you use? Well, haven't I heard it all now!! I respect the opinions of those that use them and those that don't - there is no such thing as the perfect system, if there was we would all have it - however, there are perfect systems in the ear of the beholder... | |
| Cable Elevators - What do you use? Interesting comments all - First, different flavors of yogurt do not seem to make any difference. Elizabeth's comments are poignant and, I believe, statements of fact. How all that affects a system is the question. Thank you to those that shared h... | |
| Cable Elevators - What do you use? Teajay: To be perfectly honest, if the improvement was there it was not enough to make me sit up and take notice. I feel better having them off the floor but maybe I need to go the next step and get the power cords off the floor. . . . More Yogurt... | |
| airport express questions Realremo: Lifatec offers Toslink cables with the mini on one end and the full size on the other. I have used one from a Mac to the main system with good results (via iTunes). You can also get an adapter for almost pennies to go over the full size ... | |
| Intermittent hum in right Krell fpb 350 mono Sidssp you are correct - I had to think it through! Interesting though that by (sometimes) wiggling the power cord plug on the amp that I can stop the hum. Other times, when switching the ICs the hum shows up in the opposite channel but is greatly... | |
| Intermittent hum in right Krell fpb 350 mono Sidssp I was thinking that since the "right" IC was now in the Left input of the processor that the amp in question was now driving the left channel. | |
| Intermittent hum in right Krell fpb 350 mono I should add that all of the equipment (APC, monos, pre/pro, etc.) are on separate 20 amp circuits. Occasionally switching the amp to a different circuit works, but not always. | |
| Granite under wood for better isolation? Schipo - Like Actusreus, I found your story fascinating and as they say, above and beyond the call of duty. You are a true audiophile in every sense of the word, not to mention, energetic beyond belief!! | |
| Granite under wood for better isolation? 2 inch thick maple ought to do it by itself without the granite. But if you just need a place to store the granite - well, underneath the maple would work. |
