| Is USB overrated as decent digital source? Yep Michael - you have figured it out - what's fascinating is to watch the massively time delayed reaction the industry seems to be taking. Here we are once again post RMAP and post CES and I have seen no coverage about any products that address t... | |
| MJ Acoustics Subwoofers v. REL. Hi - had a 100 for awhile and quite liked it. yes, it is the same type of amplifier tap/Speakon set up as REL - I hesitate to say the same because I don't know the pin assignsyes, it is very well made and nicely finishedit is very adjustable with ... | |
| ITUNES v7 any good? ahhhh - sorry guys - I didn't meant to mislead youI don't do Windows, thing is rock solid in my world | |
| ITUNES v7 any good? not much controversy IMHO - works just fine - interface is a bit cleaner in some areas (iPod interface) and of course it handles video. It has the album browser thingy which used to be a separate app - worthless but pretty.basically Apple hasn't d... | |
| S-video vs. component Thnx KKM - some nice looking cables and the switcher is certainly priced right! | |
| S-video vs. component Doug - just so you know the basics. Composite video came first. This is the signal you get with one RCA, usually coded yellow. Chroma and luminance signals are combined. This is all there was for many years. In an antenna feed, it was also composi... | |
| Options to replace Supratek Chennin Pre The 6SN7 is such a great tube and there are so many flavors among the old NOS tubes. Be aware that this is definitely one of those where passions and opinions run high and there are definitely flavors of the month. Here's a few sites that I have ... | |
| Speakers small enough for desktop use I thought that the NSM was a sealed suspended unit - maybe the new Sampan is different - no doubt the absence of rear ports makes placement easier. I have to say I like my NSM10s - I got a demo pair for half price which took some of the sting out.... | |
| Best digital cable to audition? I love the Stealth stuff and this is a great SPDIF cable - true 75 ohm, wondrous detail, neutral with perhaps a hint of warmth. Once it settles in, you will keep it | |
| Speakers small enough for desktop use If you want to provide the power, the NSM Audio/Role series of speakers are tremendous - smooth, very detailed, impeccable imaging. Not inexpensive but... and they stand behind the product.Another choice I am really enjoying is the Cain & Cain... | |
| BAT pre + Pass amps? Output/Input sensitivity?? works for me - still dialing it in but running a Bat VK-3i and a Pass Aleph 30 - plenty of control in both directions | |
| AAC, AIFF, Lossless, MP3 Yes - you definitely always want to have "error correction" checked!! This is critical especially when you are doing lossless for archival and hifidelity use.While the EAC fans will argue that they still get a better rip, in my experience "error c... | |
| AAC, AIFF, Lossless, MP3 Portugasl - just so you are clear, there is no iPod output that goes to a DAC. Both the headphone and the line out (USB/dock) provide an analog signal. As far as quality goes, my experience is like Jeffreybowmans - up the quality of the righ and y... | |
| Who makes custom sized BB & granite slabs? Driver has definitely got the granite part going on - not custom, but there is the savings - its a Henry Ford thing, any color so long as its black - I have ordered from them several times and the service and product is top notchhttp://www.grizzly... | |
| Cain v Hornseshoppe v Omega v Lowther thanks guys - very helpful - wish I had the wherewithal for the Oceilla or the 23s. hearing a lot about he PHYs - might just have to give the open baffle thing a try - happy holidays all |
