| Itunes ? Hi Toby,It gets even more rigorous with Windows 7 and Vista, compared to XP which was addressed in the link I provided. And it has to be, or the clone of a W7 or Vista OS drive won't boot. Another reference that may be of interest.But as you imply... | |
| VAC 30/30 & Sophia 6SN7's Wow! As always, Kevin is terrific. FWIW, my speculation is that a little bit of 60 Hz and/or 120 Hz ripple is present on the DC that is supplied to the filaments of the tubes. Perhaps its magnitude is a bit greater than when the amps were new, due... | |
| Bose 901 series VI & Yamaha A-S2000 01-07-12: Johnnyb53There are other things I don't agree with. For example, Amar Bose arrived at an 11/89% ratio of direct-to-reflected sound based on his measurements of Boston's Symphony Hall. The thing is, Symphony Hall is one of the most reverb... | |
| copper slug 01-07-12: KirkusI must say I'm quite alarmed how non-chalantly this discussion has turned to materials for bypassing fuses.My thoughts exactly.Best,-- Al | |
| VAC 30/30 & Sophia 6SN7's Highly recommended, as long as your health insurance covers disk surgery ;-) Michael, you should try lifting (actually, you SHOULDN'T try lifting) the 70/70!! :-)Best regards,-- Al | |
| Itunes ? Excellent clarifications, Herman & Toby. Thanks. I believe that assignment of different names and creation times eliminates the possible concern I expressed about cloning. Cloning programs that I am familiar with, in the Windows world, will us... | |
| VAC 30/30 & Sophia 6SN7's Thanks, Paul (Pdreher). I don't think that in this case, though, the lack of a suffix is the problem. The datasheet that is linked to at the Sophia site for their 6SN7 is the datasheet for the General Electric GTA and GTB tubes.Best regards,-- Al | |
| VAC 30/30 & Sophia 6SN7's Yes, I had similar results when I installed a matched quad of Sophia 6SN7's in my VAC Ren 70/70 MkIII, except that the hum level was not "very loud." It was acceptable for the first few months, just about inaudible at listening distance (after I p... | |
| Itunes ? I'm not sure either what benefit, if any, would be provided by having a cloned disk, as opposed to simply having a backup disk containing copies of the original files. Perhaps Toby will elaborate.All I can envision is that it could possibly elimin... | |
| Itunes ? If i can't transfer a non mac formatted disc to another mac formatted disc with the superduper or clone software, where do i go from here?What I'm saying is don't clone the disk that has the files on it to the other disk, just copy the files to th... | |
| Itunes ? When you say "file management provisions that are provided in the Mac OS ",what are you referring to? Is there a easy way to do that? Herman and Toby can answer that much better than I can. As I said I have little knowledge about Macs. But I'm sim... | |
| Itunes ? No, you don't need to copy first to the internal drive. While I don't know anything about SuperDuper, and I don't know much about Macs in general, it seems clear that it is a disk cloner program that does not want to clone from a disk that is not ... | |
| Power Cord brands mixing. "Your Opinions" Thanks Richard. In your case I understood that you were referring to power cords, as you were very explicit. But while I certainly don't question your sincerity or your sonic perceptiveness, and I have considerable respect for your breadth of expe... | |
| Power Cord brands mixing. "Your Opinions" A number of posts by several people in the recent part of this thread, while being well expressed, seem to be using the word "cables" in a loose manner that leaves me wondering if we are still discussing the original question, which relates specif... | |
| What is your listening level? 01-05-12: LearsfoolFWIW, recording engineers usually listen at about 82dB.Learsfool, I'd be interested in clarification of what that means. Average level or the level of short-term peaks? And wouldn't the figure vary depending on the dynamic range... |
