| AIFF vs Apple Lossless Ripping If in doubt stick to AIFF or WAVs when ripping. Then you will be able to rest peacefully. These days hard drives are large and cheap so why bother with the compression process? If you want to fit more on your ipod, why not open a folder and put co... | |
| Why Rhodium? I have never really got on with Rhodium plugs myself although I understand the properties are useful (durable/resistance of oxidation etc).I think Cpk has it right and it is the wire connecting between that is as important. I think you should try ... | |
| Amarra for iTunes at RMAF... I think you will find the Amarra only works for firewire output from itunes to Weiss equipment. On the Weiss I tried it was night and day difference. But into the DCS via digital outs made no difference. | |
| Do you ever wonder? Hi Audiofeil,while I could not answer for all of your list, I could for some. (by the way I agree with most of your list. I do like Pinks voice. I just wish she had better material). As for Celine Dion...yuk.Sheryl Crow and Celine Dion both being ... | |
| Dcs Elgar plus Dont worry it does run very hot. The components are packed inside very tightly and there are no vents in the casing. It is normal to be hot to the touch. Also in stand by it is still heating the clock components and will still be warm. | |
| At a Levinson crossroads .... need advice. I had a ML reference system for years and had no problems at all. It worked beautifully for the whole time I owned it. Never putting a foot wrong.I am very sorry to hear people are being let down by this legendary company. A sign of the times I gu... | |
| HiFi tuning fuses, some benefits help I found them to work well in some situations. I had them in an audio aero Capitole SE cd player. It made a nice improvement to the presentation. More natural details and slightly lower back ground noise and a richer midband. I have them in my DCS ... | |
| Maggie versus Magico Hi Dave,I know what you mean. I had similar with mine. You get the impression that the Maggie is free and full. Some recordings were vibrant and amazing to listen to.At the time I had some very strange dynamic issues where sometimes they were aliv... | |
| Maggie versus Magico Hi Dave,I had the 3.6r as well as older maggies. Lovely they were too. But you have to bare in mind the 3.6 is 85db/watt sensitivity. Even with huge doubling into 4 ohm type amps they are incapable of true dynamic swings. They are great with small... | |
| Maggie versus Magico I had various maggies for many years. All the ones I owned were very musical straight out the box. I got into tweaking them and found a whole new level of performance. The maggie suffers from a diffuse and soft presentation unless tweaked to death... | |
| Maggies with no Sub: Fantastic surprise I had the same experience. You should try replacing the magnepan crossover with more exotic parts then you will have bass you wont believe.A great speaker for the money. | |
| DCS 1394 problem To be clear. When I said above "swap them around or wiggle them while the system is playing" What I meant to say is swap the firewire cables around THEN play the system and while it is playing wiggle the cables to see if you have a bad connection! | |
| DCS 1394 problem It sounds like you have a 1394 connection problem either the cable side or the machine side. As gtfour45 says try the cables and make sure they are not loose. Swap them around or wiggle them while the system is playing to see if it makes the DCS s... | |
| Audio Consulting on fire at Munich High-End Show Poor fellows. A gaggle of valves nesting in wooden boxes with wooden knobs. I believe thats called kindling. Its the other people who were next to door to them I feel sorry for. Their show and equipment was ruined through no fault of their own.Any... | |
| Magnepan 2.5 anyone? Hi melomaniac,You should be in good shape then.I doubt you would go wrong with the bel cantos as amps on them either. Anything with good current will help. ARC was a match made in heaven in the tube department though. The main problem with every m... |
