| Quad ESL 57 Midrange in a Box - New ATCs? Trelja, Soix and RW - thank you.After recovering from my shock, I decided that I will probably "recycle" one from another pair I have intended to use in an office or with a television but have generally been unused or in storage.The small ATCs hav... | |
| The Latest in Digital Out for Mobile Devices? Eureka!With the Antelope Zodiac, this was more or less "plug and play".Now using only "cloud" music from my iTunes account which I assume is < redbook, but delighted to at least get started.Amazing that that all the Apple guys and the geeks at ... | |
| The Latest in Digital Out for Mobile Devices? Thanks Eastein. OK, so now I have the "Lightning to USB Camera Adapter"because I would like to first try using my own Antelope Zodiac DAC (powered, with USB input) and a new iPad Mini.Again, I am not an Apple person, so not so familiar with their ... | |
| The Latest in Digital Out for Mobile Devices? Sorry for so many follow on questions, but Googling around it seems this type of set up has not worked for some users and/or some DACs.This one?http://www.amazon.com/Apple-iPad-Camera-Connection-MC531ZM/dp/B003K1EYM6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=141... | |
| The Latest in Digital Out for Mobile Devices? Great- would you also know the best / most "audiophile" set up or protocol in iTunes that would work with this set up? Is it possible to rip CDs so we could at least be assured of redbook quality? Or would you recommend Apple "lossless" or compara... | |
| The Latest in Digital Out for Mobile Devices? Eastein, we are getting warmer?!However, your suggestion seems to work only with 1) iPad and iPad mini? and2) Powered DAC or powered USB hub?In any case, it seems this would work with say, an iPad mini into a USB ready DAC such as a Benchmark?Then... | |
| The Latest in Digital Out for Mobile Devices? Swampwalker,I have just noticed those players in an audio catalogue I received in the mail and they do look very "audiophile" indeed for portable players. Thank you.Part of my curiosity arises from my interest in helping friends and relatives who ... | |
| Harbeth Compact 7s vs. Pioneer's $129 speakers I have now tried the latest version of the floor standing Pioneers with good results.In summary, I am not selling my ATC monitors or Magenplanars just yet, but pleasant and fun to listen to with a wide variety of music. And decent imaging as well.... | |
| Speakers for High-End Digital Piano This is an interesting question.I have a Steinway M, but with a MIDI strip, so it can also be used with a synthesizer as a "high end digital piano."Over the years, I have experimented with a lot of things, including Audio Research and Levinson int... | |
| Tivo, Slingbox, Apple? re Streaming HD in 2014 Mallen123Thank you as so far not a very popular topic around here. Reading a bit more on the internet, I decided to purchase a Slingbox M1 which I can return if it doesn't work.More to follow... | |
| AudiogoN Inception Date? Here is an enduring thread from January 2001:http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?ymisc&978488055&openfrom&421&4&&st0 | |
| Rockwell: audiophile term "just like a pedophile" There is no reason to get defensive; these are all tired old arguments, many of which are found here on Audiogon by posters who allege they are more devoted to music than the gear.As for Mr. Rockwell, I love a guy who reeks of arrogance with respe... | |

| Paint that helps diffuse sound? I thought people studied medicine to save lifes, not to make money.$3 MM barely buys a 2 BR apartment in New York these days. | |
| Yamaha Amp Nostalgia Reviewing this thread, I still have my M2 and continue to think this era of Yamaha components were particularly beautiful.Sadly, the back lit switches are often dark, and even from across the room, repairs using LEDs do not look authentic or origi... |
