| Logitech Squeezebox Touch Question Is the trailer that large that you can't just wire the connection from the laptop to the Squeezebox?As for whether it will work without being connected to the Internet, try unplugging your connection to the Internet and see if you can still stream... | |
| Vandersteen M5-HPB I use a voltmeter with the probes hooked up to the speaker outputs and some test tones to test the crossover settings. I haven't tried using single-ended adapters, but as long as the resulting frequency response is in the ballpark, you should be O... | |
| An interesting Digital vs. Analog experience I don't think the problem is that digital detractors have not heard good digital playback. They just *prefer* the sound of Lp playback. The only problem is when the bogus arguments start to fly about why Lp playback is technically superior ("infin... | |
| CD Ripping software "And so is a $49 CD player from Radio Shack "If I had to guess at what you're trying to say, you seem to feel that FLAC is "cheap" like a Ratshack CDP. This says a lot about your biases, but nothing about FLAC. | |
| CD Ripping software "Let me say this again; there is a good sound quality difference between "lossless" formats, and WAV is best, meaning it is closest to the original."FLAC is as exactly as close to the original as WAV is. They both produce the same exact PCM data. ... | |
| CD Ripping software The text you quote doesn't mean what you seem to think it means. He's talking about how much we can compress a stream, and indeed the amount of FLAC compression possible depends on the type of data in audio files. He's not saying that FLAC does so... | |

| CD Ripping software But mapman is [i]not[/i] right about EAC being "old and unsupported". The last release was a couple weeks ago. There's a well-trafficked support forum. Why give out misinformation like that when it takes a few seconds to check the website?@Lostbea... | |
| CD Ripping software I'm not sure why you are insisting on WAV. You'll just make more work for yourself down the road if you ever want to tag your files. | |
| Will Quantum Computing Bridge the analog gap? "Quantum" is not a synonym for "magic" or circumventing the laws of thermodynamics. | |
| Michell Power Supply Upgrade Artech's website lists it for $895! That's 36% of the cost of the table itself. So $700 is already a discount. I got mine on ebay for $500.I haven't A/B'ed with the original power supply, but I thought I did notice a improvement in "stability and ... | |
| Snapped off my cantilever "Someone in my house"Oh, sure, "someone". I have a "someone" like that in my house, too. :o) | |
| Best Way To Archive Vinyl On My PC I get great results with an M-Audio Audiophile USB, which is a pretty old design. Unfortunately, I don't think this particular model is made anymore, but you can still buy it online. I usually use it with my Macbook. I take the output from my pre-... | |
| An interesting Digital vs. Analog experience The Clearaudio Innovation turntables start at $7500 and go up to $15000. It's not clear to me exactly which Clearaudio TT this is, as they have an Innovation line and a Master Reference TT, but I don't see a "Master Innovation" table on their site... |
