| In Memoriam: Bobby Palkovich of Merlin Music Very sad news for me also. I own a pair of Bobby's VSM-MXe's and had always hoped to meet him face to face and tell him how much I enjoy them. I know I'll think of him every time I listen to my system. I'm sure he's up there with Pubul57 who was a... | |
| DVD-R Iincopatability? Yeah. I've never used a dual layer disc so I'm not sure how they would act. | |
| DVD-R Iincopatability? "For example, finalizing isn't always the same thing for all formats."Except that the manual that was linked above clearly states on page 23 that discs recorded on the unit should be playable on regular DVD machines.From the manual:FinalizeFinaliz... | |
| DVD-R Iincopatability? Rsjm80, Frankly I'm baffled. This really should be straightforward. Maybe in the early days of DVD recording you might expect to find some drives that supported either +R or -R but not both but we are far removed from the early days and I've not s... | |
| DVD-R Iincopatability? Rsjm80, After browsing through the manual (thanks for the link Jea48), I don't see any reason why the disc you recorded and finalized shouldn't be a "standard" DVD playable in other machines. The manual even states that at one point. Also, it does... | |
| DVD-R Iincopatability? I think in order to rip the discs they will have to be recognized by the computer. The OP mentioned that Windows 7 and 8 didn't recognize the discs but it's unclear to me whether this was a hardware issue or a software issue. If the problem is Win... | |
| DVD-R Iincopatability? Rsjm80, Any idea what models the Sanyo and RCA units you tried it on are? I looked at the specs on your LG and, similar to my Toshiba, it reads and writes just about every format under the sun (except BluRay). I still think, if worst comes to wors... | |
| DVD-R Iincopatability? Rsjm80, we still need to know whether the discs are playable on the LG unit they were recorded on. If they are then it should certainly be possible to transfer the video to another device even if you have to connect the LG unit to another recorder... | |
| How NOT to sell an item on Audiogon Alpha_gt, most of this resonated with me. I mean dust on the equipment ... come on. Do you try to sell a car without detailing it? And what is it with pictures? Is it that hard to take decent pictures? Don't you notice that your pictures are too d... | |
| Some Musical Truths 1) Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now.2) Sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug. | |
| Spotify or Pandora what is the significance of 1411 bps??CD resolution is:44,100 samples per second x 16 bits x 2 channels = 1,411,200 or 1411 Kb per second. | |
| Spotify or Pandora Bif,Neither are hi-rez. Spotify is 320K Ogg-Vorbis and Pandora is 192K if you pay for premium, 128K if you don't. I find Spotify just fine for exploring new music but I can tell the difference on well-recorded selections that I am familiar with. I... | |
| Recommendation for a 12 year old I'll second the U-Turn that Raymonda mentioned. Everything included that you need (even a dust cover) starting at $179.http://uturnaudio.com/turntables | |
| 6922 tube selection Quincy,If your comfort level requires that you use only new production tubes then that's what I think you should do. There's no sense in destroying your enjoyment of music with worry about what's in the equipment (and don't think I'm being sarcast... | |
| 6922 tube selection I've seen lots of comments from people that use Andy, Brent, and Kevin. I don't recall ever seeing a bad comment about any of them. I've used Kevin to re-tube my BAT preamp a couple of times. Last time he steered me to the Philips 7DJ8s. They soun... |
