| Someone please 'splain me Hi all - Good questions, glad to be able to offer answers. Now Howard - I am sensing a small failure to communicate. If I get this right, some helpful soul is modding your CD player so you can access the built-in DAC. I assume that this is either ... | |
| Boring but still needed: which VHS VCR? Tivo is the one I am familiar with. it is beyond brainless and kind of fun to use. There must be other hard drive based solutions - since we have satellite we just ordered it at the same time. I put a premium Toslink on it and the sound is very go... | |
| Someone please 'splain me Hi Howard - An old laptop should have the poop to do it assuming that's all its doing.Certainly won't take much to figure that part out. If that is the case, hooking the external HD to it makes fine sense, and will also make a good place to rip. (... | |
| Boring but still needed: which VHS VCR? PS to the above. The more I think about it: #1 - what is holding you to a VHS instead of making a move for less money to a DVD? If you buy one with progressive scan out and HDMI connectors you will be ready for the future#2 - forego the cable comp... | |
| Best monitor for under $1500? This Chris agrees with that Chris.Besides Genelec, Tannoy also makes some nice self powered gear - had them in a video bay I built. Some of this semipro/pro gear is balanced which is nice. Note that both the Genelecs and Tannoys are heavy and will... | |
| If the room is the thing, how do I fix this? Diagonal set up is good. Avoids a lot of problems for me (12x16x10) and as a bonus I ended up with a bunch of bookcases etc as sound traps.Near field is good. A 6 or 7 foot triangle will give you a bit of space to get the speakers away from the wa... | |
| Someone please 'splain me Howard - I think you need to take the long view here and recognize that you are building the foundation for what will become your digital media network. Trust me this is insidious, once you experience the quality and convenience you won't want to ... | |
| Boring but still needed: which VHS VCR? As far as your new VCR and forwards compatibility - fuhgedaboutit.What you have to do is make sure that there is a way to get a NTSC composite and or SVHS component signal into the new LCD you will select - in other words that the new unit is back... | |
| Boring but still needed: which VHS VCR? Have always been very happy with the better Mitsubishi decks - the ones with S-Video etc. Have one hanging around that I've had for 12 years - admittedly its been very lightly used but as Sugarbrie says, they don't build 'em like they used to. I w... | |
| 10x vs. 40x etc. cd-roms I have ripped about 900 CDs now in Lossless using the built in drives first in my G4 dual and after it died, my G5 dual. I agree with Kennyt that the condition of the disk impacts the time required for error correction.So, I have developed a littl... | |
| power cord too short? what now? I am with Listener57 - get a nice strip with a solid cord on it - BPT makes some very high quality gear that will probably improve your rig anyway - very tough to beat the value of the Pure Power Center for $149 which includes a 6' cord - not his ... | |
| Please help with interconnects Fewer connections and fewer cables is a highly desirable goal. Doing anything you can to improve the source is the winning strategy. So on both counts you are on the right track. You can currently get a wide range of excellent products used on Ago... | |
| RCA Digital Cable Rec's under $75 As you probably know, the challenge is going to be finding anything used in that length. For the money you have, I would up the ante a few bucks and get a VH Audio Pulsar new for $113. This is a highly regarded piece - meaning lots of people have ... | |
| Recommendation for Computer/Digital You have some pretty nice pieces. And there is no way that you can get a traditional source of suitable quality for anywhere near $500.I think that you will do well with a stock SB - just upgrade the power supply and be sure to use a pair of ICs t... | |
| Squeeze Box upgrades Be interesting to see what you think - I was thinking about my reply this morning and the point I failed to make is that this is really a paradigm shift of sorts. The size of the unit, the fact that you do not have to physically store and handle a... |
