New Aurender conductor V4 app
I’ve downloaded Conductor 4. It’s terrible. I load songs into the queue and they are played in a random order even though I don’t want random play. What used to be easy to do is now not intuitive. Conductor 3 was much better. Why break a product t... 
Ripping CD's to load onto a new Aurender N20 Server/Streamer
Will do! I’m still waiting for my AC power and AES/EBU cables to arrive so I can actually hook the N20 up to my system. Hopefully they arrive soon!  
Ripping CD's to load onto a new Aurender N20 Server/Streamer
Thanks lalikt for the copy info. I just hooked up my new N20 to my home network and was successful in copying the entire content of my Sony HAP-Z1ES to the N20. Success! I had to manually enter the IP address of the Sony, but other than that, the... 
Ripping CD's to load onto a new Aurender N20 Server/Streamer
Thanks lalitk! I was thinking that process might work but just wasn’t sure. I’ll try this procedure first before backing up the Sony to my iMac first. Hopefully it will work with no hick-ups. I’ll let you know what happens. I’ve got to get my ord... 
Ripping CD's to load onto a new Aurender N20 Server/Streamer
Holy cow, you have answered my question, this couldn’t be easier!!! I should have read read the manual first, or as they say, RTFM…read the f…..g manual! Many thanks. I’m putting my order in for the N20 this week.  
Ripping CD's to load onto a new Aurender N20 Server/Streamer
Thanks for the recommendations on CD ripping. I’ll check this program out. There is no provision on the Sony to backup or extract files from the unit as it lacks a digital output function. One of this truly excellent unit’s shortcomings. Current... 
Sony 40
Thanks for your input - I went to my dealer and got the straight scoop on current broadcast quality. Now I know why all those electronics stores have HD pictures displayed on those fancy monitors - if they displayed normal brodcast signals no one ... 
Meridian G08 CD Player Problems
Thanks for the response - my thoughts exactly!!! 
Magnepan lover, which one do you choose?
With regards to the comment by Hifiharv above, I have been using a pair of 3.5r's since 1994 (purchased brand new from an authorized dealer) and I have not seen the probelm he describes. Same thing for a pair of MG-IIIa's that I used for eight yea... 
Magnepan Speakers - Ribbon Replacement
I've been using a pair of 3.5R's for almost 11 years (purchased new in Aug. 2004). I don't push them hard (driven by tube amps). They sound as good today as when I first purchased them. I used a pair of MG-IIIa's before that - same thing (had them... 
CJ 16mk1, 16mk2, 17mk1 and 17mk2 difference?
I used to have the cj Premier 17LS Series 1 and upgraded to a 16LS Series 2. HUGE improvement over the 17LS Series 1 (haven't heard the 17 LS Series 2). I've had my 16 for about 2 years - not changing it anytime soon. 
Ayre CX-7 vs. Meridian G08 ?
Bhvf - I'm seeing the exact thing you are describing. The volume up/down buttons on mj c-j remote routinely turns the G08 off (putting it into the standby mode). Pressing the mute button on the c-j remote makes the G08 skip tracks - not necessarly... 
Ayre CX-7 vs. Meridian G08 ?
I have not seen the problem reported by Chinanico. The G08 seems to be wokring very nicely. One thing I have noticed is the following: when I use the volume up/down and mute keys on my conrad-johnson premier 16LS Series 2 preamp remote control and... 
Ayre CX-7 vs. Meridian G08 ?
Picked up my new G08 last night - right out of the box this is a KILLER CD player. The bass is very good, huge soundstage and the resolution of low level detail is scary - I'm hearing things on my CD's that I didn't even know was there. I can only... 
Ayre CX-7 vs. Meridian G08 ?
Gentleman, I have lsitened to both players and ended up ordering the G08 - I like the deep soundstage and bass response - plus, it mates well with my cj electronics. Thanks again for your thoughts.
