Good insturmental sax jazz recommindations
Try any of the Jazz Giants series on Fantasy (e.g., Jazz Giants Play Hoagy Carmichael, JG Play Harold Arlen, etc.). Any of these will give you familiar artists (Coltrane, Davis, etc.) playing tunes you'll recognize. Great way to find out who you'd... 
Mac to Stereo System
Addendum to my post: I tried to hook up the AE using an ethernet cable instead of going wireless, but no luck--you need a dumb ethernet hub which I never could find (not being made anymore?). So once you have installed the AE card in your computer... 
Mac to Stereo System
You'll find a lot of Audiogon threads on this and related topics of playing music on a HD through your main system, so I won't try to describe what the more technologically savvy Audiogoners have to say about this. I am using an iMac (G4, 1.25Ghz)... 
IPOD start on windows, how to add songs from MAC
One computer will sync with many iPods, but one iPod will sync with only one computer. This is to prevent people from doing what your friend wants you to do (which Onhwy61 correctly describes as illegal), but still allow you to buy iPods for your ... 
iPod to DAC Connection
I have the AirportExpress, use for hours every day to play playlists (everything from classical/opera to 60's soul music) and love it, but it doesn't help when you want to get maximum fidelity in a portable pkg (i don't have a laptop). I don't thi... 
iPod to DAC Connection
Apple's 5th generation ipod was introduced this past week and their lack of interest in the audiophile market was once again evident. Like past generation ipods, their newest model lacks a digital output for connecting to a DAC. So, we still wait ... 
McCormack DNA-125/225 Upgrades
A recent experience to supplement previous posts on this topic: I wanted to audition a $2k MC cartridge so I took my DNA 225 SMc modified amp with me to the dealer to use with the dealer's speakers, of the same brand and model as my own. The other... 
Vandersteen 5a. How refined a product are they
Didactically,Your pen name shows an admirable degree of self awareness. 
iPod to DAC
Look up the "IPod to DAC Connection" thread in the Audiogon archives. Several options are described on how to play music stored on a computer through a DAC. 
Audio Research SP9 MKII to MKIII Upgrade
I had the MKIII upgrade done a year ago. There is a noticable improvement in sound quality, that I believe was worth the $800 cost. While the advice to sell your MKII and buy a MKIII on Audiogon is economically sound, I should mention that ARC inc... 
Looking for a tube DAC.
Yioryos, You are of course correct-- it is Musical Fidelity, not Mobile Fidelity. That's what happens when you press "Submit as is" instead of reviewing it first!! And I own one so I feel doubly stupid! No doubt it is bettered by some of the other... 
Album which you have listened to most?
Paul Simon Hearts and Bones. 
Apple Airport Express Very Cool Product
I'm running the optical feed into my MF Trivista CD/SACD player/DAC and using Apple Loseless importing, I can't tell a difference between iTunes music played over the Airport Express and the original CD (tentative finding, more listening sessions ... 
iPod to DAC Connection
Jayboard,I was never able to find a "dumb ethernet hub", which the people at the Apple help line said I would have to use instead of a switch or router. It would have worked to run an ethernet cable directly from out of the computer to the Airport...
