| Need help with Apple Airport Express Good!If problems recur, another alternative to consider would be to retain the 2Wire device, but disable its wireless function and add a separate wireless access point, which in turn would be connected to the 2Wire via an ethernet cable. I've alwa... | |
| Are all external hard drives the same? 12-02-12: RlwainwrightI have an Oppo bDP-93 and it plays quite well with my 3 Seagate FreeAgen 1.5TB drives and with my WD 750GB drive. All of these are USB 2.0 spec drives.It will NOT recognize my new Seagate Backup Plus Desk 3 TB USB 3.0 drive. ... | |
| Why does the copy sound better than the original Al, what's your readily explainable explanation? Just curious. Hi Geoff,There's lots of discussion of that in the threads I linked to above, but I think that a good summary is contained in the following post I made in one of them, in which I quote... | |
| Need help with Apple Airport Express Kijanki, thanks very much. But I should point out that I have no experience with Apple products. My computer experience is mainly with computers I've built myself, running Windows in most cases, and Linux in one case.Matt, I take it that the dropo... | |
| Why does the copy sound better than the original Yes, that phenomenon has been reported by many people, and is readily explainable IMO. See this thread and this one.Regards,-- Al | |
| VAC Owners:Outboard Phono Stage? Alón, yes, that is exactly what I am recommending that you do NOT use. Everything they say in the paragraph you quoted is essentially correct, but no matter how well the CD may be engineered for the particular purpose it cannot control what the PL... | |
| VAC Owners:Outboard Phono Stage? Bill, that looks to me like an excellent suggestion. You appear to be referring to the "KAB PreconLP Inverse RIAA Level Converter." It appears to be a purely passive device, using resistors and capacitors to divide down the signal level and also ... | |
| VAC Owners:Outboard Phono Stage? Alón, congratulations! That is exciting indeed.A note of caution, though. Although the chances of a problem occurring would seem to be very remote, I personally would never connect the output of a component capable of supplying upwards of 2 volts ... | |
| Adding Tone Controls? The transport is also equipped with and AES/EBU output, and seems to be driven along with the coax. I know since I was able to do some A/B testing between the Enkianthus and the Musical Fidelity DACs.Good! The rear panel photo I was looking at ear... | |
| Best alcohol for party? Sounds like a plan! White wine would most likely be fine with all of that except for some kinds of sausages, certain kinds being better with red wine or beer. Among white wines, besides the ones I and others mentioned earlier you might consider a ... | |
| what Fi? Expanding on my earlier post, I must respectfully disagree with those who seem to be using the three terms to distinguish between different kinds of audiophile-oriented equipment, particularly on the basis of price.As even a casual perusal of thes... | |
| Adding Tone Controls? Impedence issues between the CJ preamp and Pass amp were (and maybe still are) a concern. I raised this issue a while back on another forum and received feedback from several folks (including Kal Rubinson) confirming that the pairing meets the gu... | |
| what Fi? Obviously it is a very gray area, and a lot of people will consider my definition of "Hi Fi" to be too generous, but as a very general guideline I've always thought of these terms as follows:Lo Fi: Compact "all-in-one" systems, characterized by lo... | |
| Best alcohol for party? Good responses above, but an important factor that hasn't been addressed, which will influence people's drink selections, is the kind of food that is being served. It would be helpful if you could give us some idea of that.Also, provided that it i... | |
| Micromega MyDac and Windows XP Another thought: Are the USB ports on your older XP computer USB 2.0? If not, and they are USB 1.1, that would probably explain the problem with that computer. If you are not sure, let us know the make and model of the computer, and/or the approxi... |
