Best External Drive To Rip A Lot Of CD's with?
If Tidal had even a fraction of the music I own available, possibly, but they don't. Fair enough. That must be one esoteric music collection. :)For the sake of completeness, there are also auto-feeders available. You're talking about some real mon... 
Best External Drive To Rip A Lot Of CD's with?
Nightfall,How much is your time worth? You can figure 10-15 minutes per CD (depending on length) to do it right and get the tagged information right (dbPoweramp is great for this but it can take considerably longer for classical CDs). A quick Goog...

How can Acoustic Revive RR-888 produce 7.83hz?
I don't own this device nor have I heard it. I do remember reading a review of it a while back - mildly interesting.My thought is that it's not that hard to make a surface (diaphragm) vibrate at 7.83 Hz and this will "attempt" to create a 7.83 Hz ... 
How to use headphones on Rotel rsp-1066
J2, I would have thought more folks would have commented by now. Blkadr is correct in saying that, since the Rotel doesn't have a dedicated headphone section, you will need a headphone amp. That said, it appears that the Rotel has "tape out" conne... 
What happen??
Rsjm80, I understand about the budget. I'm not clear on your reference to multiple outlets. Unless you plan on using a surge protecting outlet(s) as Audiolabyrinth refers to, it would seem that a device with multiple outlets would be necessary. In...

Thanks Al for the corrected links. Not sure what happened as I copied and pasted those from the site. Computers! 
What happen??
Rsjm80, you don't mention what your budget is but several years ago I bought a Furman Elite-15 PFi. I was one of those people who thought they had pretty good power and I bought it mainly to tame the mass of cables behind my rack running to two se...

Check out the site FM Tuner Info and more specifically, their Kenwood page. Lots of good information. 
Interesting bilind testing of Stradivarius Violin
05-20-14: Frogman****You know, I wouldn't be surprised at all if most of them were deaf, quite frankly.****Huh?!?!He's referring to the fact that SPLs in the middle of an orchestra can be quite loud. If ear protection is not used, hearing damage i... 
merlin vsm owners , what is your room size ?
I have mine in a room that is 15L x 17W x 11H (typical "open plan" with several large openings). They play as loud as I could want (and louder than my wife wants!). What do you think you're missing? How far are you from the speakers and how is the... 
What's wrong with my almost new speakers?
This is ridiculous. The OP asked a simple question with admittedly too little information to provide an informed answer. Fine, ask for additional clarification but trying to show your witty side at the OP's expense is out of bounds. I note that Mc... 
MOG to shut down, replaced by Beats Music
As I said above. If I can't get Beats to my home system without attaching a computer, then it's not going to be for me. I've been playing around with Spotify on the desktop, checking the selection, etc. The sound quality seems ok (as best as I can... 
MOG to shut down, replaced by Beats Music
I would love to try Beats but I don't listen to music on my phone and I don't have (or want to place) a computer near my audio system. At this point those appear to be the only avenues for receiving their stream. I don't even mind the price increa...
