| Would an Audiofile really download music? It's the most efficient way I've found to discover music I might like but would otherwise never hear. Another excellent source for at least some types of music is emusic.com.It's subscription based and inexpensive, provides samples, and delivers r... | |
| iMac - iTunes problem An update on fixing the problem:After the original fix in which I deleted both iTunes preference files I began to use iTunes again, including changing settings in the software equalizer. The problem returned. This time I deleted only the equalizer... | |
| Canare 4S11 Star Quad cables for speaker You aren't going to get any agreement here about whether any particular cable is good, or even whether cable makes any sonic difference, but the Canare Star Quad cables are worth exploring for some very practical reasons.There is a range of sizes,... | |
| Easy to Drive Bookshelf Monitor? I have the ProAc Response One's and am extremely happy with them. Most of their life with me they've been driven by a 50-watt Audio Refinement Complete but I've also driven them with a reworked Sonic Impact digital t-amp that puts out 6 watts. You... |
