| Single driver point source speakers vs. the world? @Weseixas: Any and all. I like them all, but the Super 5 and Stick are my favorites. | |
| Single driver point source speakers vs. the world? I'm surprised that no one has mentioned Omega speakers by Louis Chochos. They are some of the finest single driver, no crossover speakers available at any price. | |
| The Social Network There was also a free "sampler" of some tracks that Reznor put up a few weeks ago on his website. I'm not sure if it's still available, but I downloaded them and listened a few times. Interesting stuff, I just loaded them into a playlist to give i... | |

| Has your audio system gotten you into new music? To answer your "title" question, absolutely YES. One of the main reasons I have a music system is to learn and listen to new music, including older music that is new to me. | |
| Radiohead - Live in Praha video: Free Download Thanks! I'm downloading this for tonight! | |
| Need feedback on Sonus Faber Cremona M 's I currently have a pair of Auditors and have owned some other Sonus Faber speakers. Like with any speaker, it's a very subjective thing, but to me they sound very laid back and soft. I'm not saying this is good or bad, it's just my description. | |
| New Apple TV -- Anyone planning on it? @Aberyclark: Form what I understand, anything that AirTunes and AirPlay transmits is converted to Apple Lossless, which makes it 16/44 only. The new AirPlay protocol might change this. Could someone comment on this issue? | |
| New Apple TV -- Anyone planning on it? @Granosalis: I don't have any 24/96 content, but I assume that the new Apple TV will work like the previous ATV and AirPort Express (AirTunes & AirPlay) and does not support 24/96. Sorry I can not give more info. I would be interested in knowi... | |
| New Apple TV -- Anyone planning on it? I received one yesterday and it sounds great when using optical into my DAC with AIFF and Apple Lossless files. The interface is fast and snappy. | |
| Best DAC for 27" iMac Leave the "midi settings" to 16/44, and make sure to close/reopen iTunes so that it properly resets. Have the MP3 files been transcoded at some point? The MP3 should not sound as good, but there should not be "static". If the file was poorly impor... | |
| Best DAC for 27" iMac The Mono Price cable isn't "better". If you really want an optical cable that's "better", look at the VanDenHul Opticoupler and Wireworld SuperNova 6. Both of these cables can be made with "mini" on one end and "standard" on the other. They are tr... | |
| Best DAC for 27" iMac Yes, you've got it! That will allow you to send a direct digital signal to your receiver, and should improve the sound quality. From there, I recommend saving for a DAC and amp that will have better stereo (two channel) performance. Don't forget t... | |
| Best DAC for 27" iMac A DAC can make a huge difference, but for your gadget, I recommend you just use your Sony ES receiver and save up for a DAC that will give you a noticeable improvement. All you need to do this is a "mini toslink to standard toslink cable". Stay aw... | |
| Single driver point source speakers vs. the world? Single driver speakers vary in character, but overall, I can say, "yes". I've also been turned onto single driver designs over the last 10 years, and when implemented correctly, they can offer amazing results. Much like electrostats and panels, th... |
