| Clearaudio Confusion: Ferrari or Tweaky Kit Car? Buscis2Not bad.Thanks for the pic, although unsuspended, minimally plinthed, tweaky turntables with side mounted belt drive motors seem to be multiplying like reality TV programs.So, to me, none of them look that exotic anymore, which is why I had... | |
| Audiophile Archive: Digitizing Reel to Reel Tapes Update from my friend -- it seems he uses an iMac, which has a superdrive where he can burn at least CD's, if not DVDs.He said copying CDs is very easy and was wondering if he should buy an iMike (?). Does anyone know what that is or how I should ... | |
| No Wires..... Ever Wifey Dearest Audio Riddle This forum never ceases to amaze me! Cdc, thank you.My latest challenge for this project: inside the pedestal, I would like to attach and hide an audiophile grade power block or power strip.All of the wires (now attractively sandwiched in between ... | |
| Back to Basics with Magical Mini Monitors OK I hope it's not a case of false economy, but comparing Harbeth vs Epos $$$ I just Fedexed the Epos from Audio Advisor.They will have to live close to the wall, but perhaps I can angle them in a bit more so the port isnt facing the back wall dir... | |
| Back to Basics with Magical Mini Monitors Thanks everyone so farLooking at the Harbeth's -- they strike me as the quirky midrange obsessed design that I want. (At least according to their copywriter/PR office...)TomryanVery tempting to consider the Epos as they are a lot cheaper and the c... | |
| What ever happened to John Klemmer? DuanegoosenGood summary. Also good for eating processed cheese. "Touch" was indeed what I was thinking of as I think it was standard MFSL audio shop stuff circa 1980.So apologies if that was only a low point in his career and he is otherwise a tim... | |
| What ever happened to John Klemmer? He is in the Musical Hall of Fame with Kenny G for best music to accompany root canals. | |
| Who's the Cadillac of Hi-End Audio? The Cadillac of Hi-End Audio?I would start with a brand that had one or two memorably audacious products.Then, a brand best known for pretentious, over the top styling, medicore build quality, low performance, mass markeeting as a luxury item and ... | |
| I Just Don't Get Video Dave I take your point about obsessing over the gear and overpriced incremental improvements, but to me, this example is not an apples to apples comparison.To complete the audio metaphor, this seems more like Faroudja marketing a state of the art,... | |
| I Just Don't Get Video I've been thinking about this thread and another thought comes to mind:THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS for a super high end device from one of the tweakiest manufacturers to make "vhs" "look much better" but seems out of place and/or redundant with other sta... | |
| I Just Don't Get Video Thank for the opinions so far.Further to projectors, I already have a trusty Sony VPL 4000 Q 16:9 HDTV LCD which everyone raved about when it came out and at least used to be a bit of a cult item.However, it is not terribly bright and the fan is a... | |
| I Just Don't Get Video I am familiar with avsforum, but apparently this topic is far too babyish to get anyones attention or interest.Could someone answer my question from an Audiogoner's perspective?If I do capitulate and go for the plasma -- the new 50" Fujitsu, for e... | |
| ipod and dac? Onhwy61Thank you. Probably not so I will check the downloads. To clarify my other comments, my "skipping" was not from vibration or jarring.It is a brief pause or dead space in the music -- only on WAV files -- that seems to relate to the mechanic... | |
| ipod and dac? The iPod is a wonderful device and using an external DAC is a great idea, but here are two other problems I have had with mine: Even using a cable into my car stereo in a fairly noisy Porsche convertible, the difference between WAV files and LAME ... | |
| Best big flat screen under 4k Dont know if in addition to "flat panel" you also meant 16:9 and HD compatible, but I, too, would be interested to know the best bargain in that category for a space saving solution in the bedroom.I am told that prices have been dropping rapidly o... |
