| Backup battery UPS for my system... Can anyone please update us on UPS systems? For a normal PC and LCD monitor, how long will these devices provide power in the event of a brown out or black out?An IT firm has recommended APC for a new computer system, but I am wondering if some ma... | |
| Apogee stage manual speaker distance chart I don't remember the manual, but otherwise remember that like any dipole speaker, you don't want them too close to the wall?As I think about it, I recall that there were primitive line drawings, which suggested fairly severe toe in?I had a pair of... | |
| Gremlins Emerge with Switch to Windows 7 Still hard to isolate this problem, but - whatever I do with the power settings - it seems like it is exacerbated when I am using more than one application.Alternatively, if I close everything down and play just say, Foobar, for example I seem to ... | |
| Budget Strategies forTightening up Bass? Just a guess, but I have never had much luck putting speakers near any walls, not to mention corners.If you want to use the room as a tone control of sorts, often better to bring the speakers out from the walls, and push the back of your listening... | |
| Serious Soul/Jazz in Church MceljoThat's great and happy you enjoyed it.Some "fairly conservative" people just need a chance to get outside of their box.Your story reminds me of my frustration every time I wanted to learn to improvise or play jazz or blues, a piano teacher w... | |

| Digital Rights Management and iTunes I understand that you can't turn an MP3 into a WAV file.But my question also pertained to the Apple "lossless" format. To me, this is not a high quality service from Apple, only yet another DRM scheme which forces the customer to stay within an Ap... | |
| Digital Rights Management and iTunes I don't mind everyone arguing about price, but as we are on AUDIOgon, can anyone please confirm or deny the following:1) Backing up an iTunes library to CDs to "re rip" into uncompressed files does or does not circumvent DRM?2) Back up CDs can or ... | |
| Digital Rights Management and iTunes Ah - now I get it?So if I backup to CD-R, it may be a WAV file which I can then re rip anywhere I like, but since it was first downloaded from iTunes, it's not as good as a normal CD? | |

| Gremlins Emerge with Switch to Windows 7 Al,System restore worked - thank you.Will continue to work towards a better understanding of audio in Windows 7 and a hopefully a leaner, meaner, audiophile configuration. | |
| Gremlins Emerge with Switch to Windows 7 Well it seems I spoke too soon, my stuttering and popping in Windows 7 returned today.So I opened this thread to review and went to Sound shortcut on the desktop.Somehow trying to switch between audio devices, I may have deleted something.Now, on ... | |
| Bargain Basement, Giant Killing DACs for PC Audio Sfar,Ah - perhaps I didnt realize that I could also use those devices as a "preamp" of sorts, using the front knob as a volume control with the RCA outputs in the back?In fact, I have a uDAC somewhere in the collection, but had only used it on air... | |
| Bargain Basement, Giant Killing DACs for PC Audio As an aside, I notice that a lot of these bargain basement USB DACs seem to also have headphone amplifiers?Is this because they assume that a significant percentage of people using these USB DACs will want to use headphones?As I go out of my way t... | |
| whole house surge protector? I can't believe I am just noticing this:so it sounds like the EP 2050 - if claims are true - renders high priced tweaky power line conditioners obsolete?Re "aint cheap" I thought people around here spent hundreds if not thousands on voodoo conditi... |
