| New Apple Lossless encoder?? I have not done any A/B blind testing. As an audiophile, of course I shy away from any sort of objective, scientific methods.But anecdotally, I think my WAV files undoubtedly sound the best, and as I have said in many other threads - why even risk... | |
| 30 Years, 5 Cities, Many Storms - Not One Failure AndredoanHa - well spotted! This is actually a very recent development mainly for the new PC system. I thought I would give those a try but mainly because they were a) < $200 and b) convenient with cool lightsBut I have never used them for my L... | |

| Counterfeit Audio? If anyone could check out the current ebay ad for the cello etude line stage preamp and give me your gut reaction to the ad and the text I would greatly appreciate it.I also paused a bit because it said something like "perfect for turntables" whic... | |

Forgive me - I see now I did use the word "stubbornly".But this pertained to my resistance to spending big bucks, not to hanging on to my old cables.carlosacns535 let me know how I can outperformn anything in my system without breaking the bank an... | |
| Why is Monster M1000i interconnect overlooked? I didn't think I was being stubborn. In fact, I took them out of service to experiment with some modestly priced Signal Cables following recommendations from some of you.But now that my Monsters will approach 25 years of burn in, maybe I should pu... | |
| Behringer DEQ 2496 help EldartfordI may have to give you my CC details for the ongoing tech support.I had tweaked an EQ curve from the RTA which sounded really good, but unfortunately lost it when I couldnt quite figure out the memory function.In the meantime, I think I ... | |
