| Download and "ripping" questions with a Mac. Another ripping program for the Mac is XLD. Here is a link that will help you find a download:http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?title=XLDIn my limited experience XLD does a better job than does Max in exporting to iTunes and in importing art... | |
| Any former dCS Elgar Plus owners here? oops, should have conducted a better search before posting. A few days ago, blackstonejd mentioned the Puccini U-Clock . . . | |
| Crazy? Lamm ML2/ML2.1 on Avalon Eidolon? Thanks for all the replies. I do suppose the ML2 on the Eidolon is crazy.I am still tempted to try the ML1.1 and, while I suspect it wil better the M1.1 I had been using, I expect even the ML1.1 may still cheat both itself and the Eidolon.One pers... | |
| Arcici Suspense rack experiences I do not have a lot of experience with different racks. I have had Lovan (Classic), Salamander (Archetype) and Arcici (Suspense).Arcici is far more expensive than the other two. It is also far superior. I hear more detail, clearer highs, more soli... | |
| Paris Hi Fi shops When you arrive buy a magazine called Revue du Son. The back of the mag has a kind of classifieds section organized by location (Paris, Lyon, etc.). Many shops advertise in this section and include details as to components they carry, as well as t... | |
| Should Sonus Faber G. Piano be bi-wired? I ran my Grand Piano (not HOME) from an ARC VT100MkII and single wired (not biwired) Kimber 8TC. I thought the sound was good and much better than I could have expected due to my preamp and cd player at the time. Based on this experience I do not ... | |
| Kharma CE1 LE vs Avalon Eidolon Sorry if this response is not directly on point, since I only auditioned the Kharma 1.0 and not the 1.0 LE.I bought the Eidolon over the Kharma 1.0, though it was a close call. In the end I had a decent deal on a demo Eidolon and so the choice was... | |
| Looking for alternative to Sonus Fabers In my post I meant to say the Grand Piano sounded more true than the Meadowlark Kestrel in the upper bass and lower midrange. The caveat I expressed was regarding my comparison of the Grand Piano to the Kestrel.Sorry for the disjointed posts. | |
| Looking for alternative to Sonus Fabers I am not sure of the power requirements of the Concertino relative to the Grand Piano. For the Grand Piano I first used a Densen Beat B-100 (I think 100 watts) and that was not enough power. I switched to an ARC VT-100 MkII and never thought I lac... | |
| Looking for alternative to Sonus Fabers How about Sonus Faber Grand Pianos??? I still own Grand Pianos (but now listen to another brand another model much more expensive) and do not sell them because I like them too much.To my ears, the Grand Pianos sound more clear and are more pleasin... | |
| Marble to place speakers on? Ditto to what Audio4fun stated on the benefits of marble, though I have heard dimensions of 4" additional on all sides to the dimensions of the speaker bases (i.e. 8" total greater dimension on all sides). However, Duntech Sovereign speakers are a... | |
| Avalon Opus vs. Verity Parsifal Encore I auditioned both of these speakers one right after the other with the same music, the same electronics and the same room. My opinion is the Opus sound better in all respects. The low frequency was more extended and detailed, the soundstage was de... |
