| Simple iTunes question Not sure how you are accessing the 'shared lib' on another PC, but I did this...using a network attached storage drive, iTunes sees it as a shared library, if that box is selected in the lib preffs.I opened itunes, and clicked on the shared lib, a... | |
| Ripping 700 CD's to HD using FLAC-How much space? Another thought here is, FLAC allows you to select the bit rate... so the overall file size will change accordingly. I've heard no diffs from one bit rate to another in the 500 - 1000 region.As it is a lossless codec it stands to reason you could ... | |

| Is too much power in an amp really a problem? I used Bel Canto solely as a reference point. They aren't on my short list for consideration. Only Wyred 4, Rowland, & Spectron are. The latter two probably will be cost prohibitive though. | |

| Mixing b&w 703 with cdm 9nt and cdm cnt I'm suspecting you are going to run the NTs as fronts and the 700s as rears in a multi ch arrangement?The NT sereies across the front where I believe it matters more so, should be fine enough a setup sonically. rears really are lesser a concern...... | |
| Best Used under $300 2 Channel Amp Why not just go with an HT receiver versus a preamp + amp situation? Especially if winding up with multi ch is a concern?you can get a lot of HT receiver for $500. I don't know if I can say the same for that price going with seperates. | |
| next step for my setup? advice appreciated Pursuing value often proves out as a good path... and a DAC made great sense to me too as I use several digital sources. | |
| Cambridge 840c burn in I've not noticed the 'run in aspect' using PCs, anywhere near as much as with audio components. Sometimes, not at all. I have however noticed that since I've made mods to several of my PCs, they perform better once well warmed up.Naturally with PC... | |

| Made in Canada conundrum Martykl...and that impression has been going on for decades. We don't get a very objective view of ourselves if we only subscribe to our hometown news. Listen to the BBC for a less biased opinion now and then and you'll understand.Dopwn here there... | |
| Dynaudio C1 vs current speaker-Wilson Benesch ARC MIT gets significantly better in terms of the quality of the signal as you move up... there are however not terribly forgiving.Maybe something that comes across easier on the source.. or preamp.
