| BAT Thoughts..... BTW... I'm in the "Sunburn State."... but we have a new thing here that helps us get thru our nine month summers....Air conditioning.I enjoy it, but don't enjoy paying for it.I can place my hand over the top of my current tube preamp and hold it t... | |
| Review: M2Tech USB - SPDIF conv Hiface 192 DA converter Tgrisham Thanks much for the kind words.There is indeed a ways to go yet for seamless operation in each and every respect, MPs, HW, and all those file types and bit rates they need to handle. I think too there’s going to be some reduction of the o... | |
| BAT Thoughts..... BAT stuff just runs hot. that's all there is to it.I used a VK5i with a VK500 BP. Tube pre + SS amp.I used a vk5i with a vk 60. I sold the BAT stuff eventually and wish I HAD KEPT THE AMP, DESPITE THE HEAT IT PRODUCED.btw... the VK 60 was hotter t... | |
| Does transcoding need a sound card? No. The software and mother board could care less if you have a sound card installed... only your ears require it... maybe.What program do you intend to use for this transformation?Does it work in reverse? | |
| Import/rip audio cd's thru Winamp? in this review I posted yesterday you will find links to how EAC should be set up and used.http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?rdgtl&1270556062&openmine&zzBlindjim&4&5#Blindjim | |
| what type of sand to use? The best sand in the world resides on the beaches of Port St. Louis in the Maritius Islands... off the SE coast of Africa.well... there and the Saychelles.If money is tight though... Palma de Majorca will probably do almost as well... off the S co... | |
| Import/rip audio cd's thru Winamp? Second the EAC idea.Rip SACD & DVDA? Digitally? With a Notebook? Good luck. By analog means? Sure.Now there are some Blue ray ripping apps out there, and over at the computer audiophile I saw something on ripping DVDA... but it ain't a simple ... | |
| I think I've made up my mind BTW... were these amp + speaker combos you mention connected up for demo purposes when you auditioned pieces?or were all listed items ala carte... here and there pieces that you heard separately?.... just wondering.If so, then what cables were in ... | |
| Amp or blocks for Total Eclipse Take a look at some of the hybrid amps. that'll keep one foot in each camp... tubes & SS. I find the Dodd MK III 120wpc mono blocks pretty nice amps. They drive my more difficult imp than your's, speaker pretty well.... being ever mindful thei... | |
| Good partner amp for Egglestonworks Anda II the control big amps provide is a thing unto itself in the reporduction of sound. I find it immensely attractive every time I hear it in action.Of those I've spoken with who have owned or do own the IIs... all had substantial amplifier power on ta... | |
| Need help with Dedicated music server. what you are seeking is a converter, not a server. The mention by Tgrisham could be one, I saw another one called Legato as well. Googling for a USB to SPDIF converter will show more choices I'm sure.Even a USB sound card will help if it/they have... | |
| What's the latest word on the Emotiva UMC-1? QueefeeAlways. Well said. Overcoming that impulsive 'first on the block' streak is a tuff one. A few blisters usually fixes it though.... that or getting older. | |
| What's the latest word on the Emotiva UMC-1? As speculation goes, that's a good enough one by me.... my thinking, after perusing the review was that Emo thru it's resources was all in on delivering units to Sherborne and perhaps others FIRST. That's ready cash. Single unit sales are catch as... | |
| What's the latest word on the Emotiva UMC-1? Longhornguy >Id ask first though how many Sherbourn procs have been having trouble via input into their forums?Adding another $2k to the price tag if the above is true sure seems like a poor deal to me . At first sight, IF indeed there are no... |
