| iTunes Importing? If you use a PC you can use MediaMonkey to automatically convert your FLAC collection on the fly to a set max bit rate to your ipod. I have mine setup to downgrade it to 320kb Variable Bit rate MP3. It takes some time, so make sure you have a curr... | |
| iTunes Importing? 1. Itunes natively rips CD's.. there shouldn't be any required plug ins.2. WAV files can not be tagged with song/artist/album information... so using WMA/FLAC/Apple lossless allows this and these are smaller since they use compression (but are bit... | |
| Wilson owners Call of Duty Mert... Welcome to the dark side.. you can't explain it to anybody but there is a certain synergy that just works! Now if only I could save up enough to step up to MM! | |
| Is there such a thing as audiophile parametric eq? Tact 2.2x - you get a good calibrated microphone (of course you can spend more) You can also save different EQ's for different type of recordings and I use it to tame harsh recording of music that I love but can't bear to listen to normally on my ... | |
| Do you "treat" your speakers rubber surrounds? talk to your speaker manufacture... Ehaller: 303 Aerospace Protectant rocks!!! the only thing in Arizona that doesn't cause cracking.. Armorall really isn't that good to put on anything rubber that you care about.. | |
| Review: Wadia 581i CD Player The crackling you heard was the wadia overdriving (Some tube gear can only handle 2volts inputs, but since the Wadia can be used as a preamp also it is capable of high voltage) your Cary preamp. In the older Wadia gear you can rejumper inside the ... | |
| Review: Wilson Audio X-2 Alexandria Speaker Darren: Don't tease me like that... I was about to do the Maxx II upgrade on my Maxx 1's.....Oneobgyn: Congrats!!! | |
| three set of pre-amp outputs for tri-amping? Tape outputs are a fixed volume so they will not work. You might be able to wire in another pair but I would think that the output will be compromised and level sets will be different between all three outputs if two are bridged together.If you ar... | |
| New monoblocs for Maxx II, which ones Elberoth2: Your Avalons are only a minimal 3.6ohm load the Lamm M1.2's will drive those perfectly, it's not the watts it is the current delivery with Wilson Maxx's and Watt Puppies 7's. My Watt Puppy 7 were a minimal 2.73 ohm load at 70hz. The Wil... | |
| New monoblocs for Maxx II, which ones Oneobgyn: The Lamm M1.1's had tons of mid bass but were missing the last octave at any volume in my system or the midbass bloat was masking the low end (Yes the room was mic'd out with my Tact and then corrected with $3.5k of Realtraps and measure... | |
| New monoblocs for Maxx II, which ones Dazzdax: the DartZeel doesn't really have enough current I've read for controling Maxx's. Just like my Lamm M1.1 solid state/hybrid 100watts ran out of juice controlling my WP7's, but the M2.1 worked no problem. So some people buy the DarTZeel Pre... | |
| At $5,000.....any thoughts? Spend some money on a universal remote and programming from a dealer (Pronto for projectors as the Logitech's still need too much work with projectors..)This alone will save you on the after the sale calls....Good luck. | |
| Amp suggestionsfor Wilson Watt Puppies/Sophia The Sophia is a lot easier to choose an amplifier. VTL Stereo 150 with a VTL 5.5 preamp is an amazing combination with Sophia's. Throw in some Transparent Super MM cabling and you have a winner.For the WP's you need to be more critical of system s... | |
| Why are hi-end active monitors not more popular? You forgot another really popular option (not on this forum) but Squeezebox into Meridian digital speakers. This is the simplist system.Most people shy away from the high price of admission for active speakers. They think it is really high but whe... | |
| Breaking: Paramount/Dreamworks go HDDVD exclusive This is great news.... but I think this will just polarize the playing field and make people wait to buy (seeing who will win) and in the end STUPID dual players will come down in price.It's cheaper to make HD-DVD's and the equipment is more avail... |
