| Need help with problem burning cd's with Mac G4 I know in iTunes having Error Correction turned on can can this same issue of dropouts. Don't know if Toast has a similar feature. | |
| Help Me Interim Speakers Suggestions? Also consider JM Reynaud speakers. Sound great according to your needs and are popular yet somewhat rare on Audiogon so should be fairly easy to resell. | |
| Best transport under $500 for Electrocom ECD-1 dac As crazy as it sounds, I'm currently using the Toshiba 3950 on a Sistrum platform with a high-end DAC with great results. This combo will cost less than $500. The 3960, the newer model, is available at Best Buy and other places. You could also try... | |
| What are your favorite monitors? I ended up deciding on the Reynaud Trente's based on a number of comments and reviews. Based on my experience with Spendors and comparisons of Reynaud monitors to them the Trentes should be just what I'm looking for. I also disccovered that Bob Ne... | |
| Opus 21 cable questions I recommend the Audience Au24 interconnect. You can usually find a pair on Audiogon. The Opus 21 is not truly balanced, but you may get additional gain through the balanced outs. However, the RCA cable may work fine for you too for less money. The... | |
| Audo Note CD 3.1 Most people think the AN DACs are better than the AN one-box CDPs. I have the 2.1x balanced and love it! I like it better than the Opus 21, though that is also a good player. The ANs just sound so natural. | |
| weird soundstage with pianos Ah, but when it's good, it's good! | |
| Placette RVC review in Stereophile This looked like a filler article to me. It also reminded me of the short TAS reviews. Sort of the abridged versions or abstracts. | |
| return of the king I thought you meant the Lion King. My nieces were all excited. Who is Elvis? Do you mean Elvis Costello? He's great! | |

| player vs. seperate dac / transport? Wow, I'm surprised at the new price of the AA Drive 1. That's a hefty jump! I would not pay that much for it; I got a great deal in the first place, far below the previous MSRP. I know there are some sleeper transports out there. Who mods the G&am... | |
| How to track down bad tube and what can it mean? OK, I can admit human error : ) Having figured out the trouble I put the NOS 12AX7s back in the preamp and also a pair of the EH 12AT7s. This rounded off some of the gritty edges and I'm back to captivating tube bliss : ) So nice! I'm happy. | |
| player vs. seperate dac / transport? I prefer the concept used in the Zanden DAC (I have Audio Note). So far no one-box player made today uses this design so your only choice is the seperates. Make sure you get a good transport. I like the Accustic Arts Drive 1. the AN transports are... | |
| How to track down bad tube and what can it mean? I don't know if I should feel stupid or relieved. I switched speaker cable channels and the problem still occurred in the left channel. I was sure it was not a speaker problem but I checked it out to see what was what. It turns out there is a ficu... | |
| How to track down bad tube and what can it mean? I'm frustrated because I'm stuck here at work in meetings and all I want to do is trouble shot my tube problem : ( But I suppose we have to earn the money to pay for this hobby, eh. It occurred to me I can try switching the channels for the speake... |
