| Is J River MC 12 slow for you too? Some improvements have been attained... I folllowed these steps to gain speed and functionality.I disabled "VISTA TCP Auto tune" by Goodling and using this proceedure:Start>Run> 'netsh'In the window this path will open for you, just after th... | |
| impedance vs sensitivity AtmasphereThanks much.I did find it odd that tube amps needed to be set to taps other than the intuitive 8 ohm ones. Which follows my thoughts here and elsewhere, manufacturers suggest numbers they alone are accounting for... unless of course some... | |
| Hopelessly mid fi? No prob...Two sets of outputs ae nice, though not necessary. I've used, and do use, a pair of very nice Y adapters with good success in lieu of that second set of outputs. Of course, XLR's would be another story. After all, splitting a signal is s... | |
| impedance vs sensitivity Well, thanks very very much, Atmasphere, indeed.I sort of figured you would go down that path of viability in conjuction with the use of your amps to anothers current speakerage and their intents.I noted on my own Silverline Snoata IIIs. I foudn b... | |
| Hopelessly mid fi? DETAILS? SS? Twin sets of outputs? (why this last item?)The BAT SS preamp latest ver could do that for you a friend here whom I value his imput has said to me the Rowland Capri. Perhaps a nice Krell? Personally, if them amps aint changing anytim... | |
| Is J River MC 12 slow for you too? OldlistenerHi bill!YOU“……Did you place the library on the laptop or on the NAS? Even if you aren't using tags, MC 12 is using the library”MEPardon my ignorance, but, uh, So what? What does it matter where the actual Library is located?BTW… even th... | |
| Hopelessly mid fi? RodmanNice article... a bit dated but good thoughts there.SydMy exp has been such that once a prime digital source has been selected. One capable of conveying all the info it gets from the presented media, changes to the down stream items & ac... | |
| impedance vs sensitivity Atmasphere Regardless the rated impedance of the loudspeaker, doesn't the curve of it's impedance linearity play a more important role?I mean some speakers, my own included profess an impedance level of 8 ohms... but in practice, delve to far lowe... | |
| My dilemma, some advice please. Sounds to me like our minds are already made.I do enjoy my Onkyo 805 receiver... and INtegra reportedly is the better made end of that heritage... so it seems a less involved idea to go Integra if an HT rec is preffered now... regardless the reaso... | |
| impedance vs sensitivity What you are saying initially is pretty common if you think about it... The more drivers, the lower the impedance usually resides.The BW speakers act closer to being a 4ohm speaker than the 8 ohms they say they are... ex the 802N... Focal speakers... | |
| Hopelessly mid fi? Were the lossless files ripped error free?If not night and day diffs, the replay should at least sound more rounded and natural with the lossless files.The comments here on a dejitterizing and worthwhile DAC are true! IME Either way... PC audio or... | |
| Is J River MC 12 slow for you too? Oil well. Wadaya gonna do?Would getting a Gig a bit router and the necessary NIC card for the laptop, as well as the different ethernet cables for it to supply the desktops be worth doing, ya think? | |
| Is J River MC 12 slow for you too? Sorry... they said the app would not initiate in that OS.... it is in their plans.... but not done yet. They usualy lag behind the new OS' several months after the OS has been fully released. | |
| New amp or new cd player? Magnumpi205 is right... I have an oppo too. it's performance level, arguably, came within 20-25% of my older xa 777es. BTW the xa was $3K MSRP. The oppo DV 980H cost $175 shipped.The comparison was closer with each going thru a good DAC... to the ... | |
| Tubed Pre question? "No dealers around?do the A'gone "buy & try shuffle". Likely if things are done thoughtfully, you are out just shipping costs or less, and the main worry will then be the carrier. |
