| Cleaning lady and vacuum It never happened, but my worst nightmare was having her take a vacuum to my Maggie ribbons. That was the main driver for the "Don't cross this line" rule. A $750 cartridge is fairly painful. You dealt with it correctly. | |
| Cleaning lady and vacuum You guys get dancing girls and butlers? All I can afford is a cleaning lady. | |
| Cleaning lady and vacuum For a while I had a regular cleaning woman that could be trusted. I let her in the room to vacuum and dust up to the Les Nesman imaginary duct tape wall, but even then she did not go in the room unless I was also in there. Otherwise, it just not w... | |
| Sony HAPZ1 For prospective buyers and owners Bill K, if the transfer program worked properly, what you say is correct. Unfortunately, what I have found repeatedly, is that files left in the iTunes folder on my iMac, are sometimes redownloaded in corrupted form to the HAPZ1. The only way I ha... | |
| Sony HAPZ1 For prospective buyers and owners Mitch4t, I haven't figured this out yet. I have my iMac automatically backed up by my apple time machine. The time machine sees the HAPZ1 on the network, but I haven't figured out how to get it to back up the HAPZ1 yet.Once I get all this work don... | |
| Sony HAPZ1 For prospective buyers and owners ERM, Thanks for the info. I've planned to get all my favorites on the internal hard drive, reserving an external drive for infrequents. Some say usb transfers are generally inferior to other approaches, but it may be that is not relevant to the HA... | |
| Sony HAPZ1 For prospective buyers and owners Agear, thanks.The HAPZ1 is not the perfect machine in term s of functionality. It is what it is, and if that works for you, it is a great piece. I would have loved to have been able to use it with a transport, but having made the decision to go wi... | |
| Sony HAPZ1 For prospective buyers and owners Bmoura, thanks. I will take a look at those websites. | |
| Sony HAPZ1 For prospective buyers and owners Billstevenson, Thanks for letting me know that you have found some of my experiences and tips helpful. This is exactly what I hoped to accomplish with this thread. | |
| Sony HAPZ1 For prospective buyers and owners Joecasey, I am waiting for the modded HAPZ1to fully burn in before doing a serious A/B with the MW5400. As it stands now, with probably 150 hours on it, the modded HAPZ1 is clearly superior in most respects to the modded 5400. I will do a very ser... | |
| Is computer audio a bust? Nice thread Agear. For several years, teased by both the convenience and promise of high resolution, I planned to put together a computer based system. I didn't ever get around to it because of the rather high rate of bail out, apparently due to p... | |
| Do you demag or destat your CDs/DVDS? I bought a Destat II about 6 months ago. It has been entertaining standing on the sidelines and taking in all of the back and forth discussion. As usual, Al brought an open mind tempered by a solid technical background. My purchase was an experime... | |
| Sony HAPZ1 For prospective buyers and owners I have about 120 hours of burn in now on the ModWright modification. At this point, the upper harmonics have bloomed, ripened, whatever you prefer, to a substantial extent. I spent some significant time last weekend listening to Stravinsky. Dumbar... | |
| Sony HAPZ1 For prospective buyers and owners ERM, any differences in sonic quality between the 2 drives? What kind of usb cable are you using? | |
| Sony HAPZ1 For prospective buyers and owners ERM, ditto on the downloads. However, have you figured out how to merge albums yet? I would like to have all my Mahler multi disc symphonies show up as one album. I didn't work hard on this, but it was not immediately apparent how to make this work. |
