| Speaker sharing between Home Theater & Tube amp What pre-amp are you using for the vinyl?Are you willing to run the HT through the vinyl pre-amp and amp also? That would be the simplest solution, but it depends on how often the HT system is used versus the 2 channel and how much you are willing... | |
| FLAC or AIFF? your choice for importing to Itunes. Steve - I understand your position. My suggestion is just that this set of article gets a lot of criticism. You may think it helps you position, but I believe it hurts your position because of all the baggage it has. You are one of the few who see... | |
| FLAC or AIFF? your choice for importing to Itunes. Sorry Steve, the TAS article is very suspect. Stereophile rejected it before TAS published it. I hate to say, but these guys probably would have heard a difference in sound depending on the phase of the moon. That report is open to a lot of questi... | |

| What would you do? Zd542 - there is still a question as to whether the dealer is authorized to make this repair, has the ability to make this repair, and can guarantee the results and can guarantee the warranty. The manufacturer can answer those questions. What do y... | |
| What would you do? I would call the highest level person in the company that I could get to and politely explain the situation. Express your disappointment. Then ask how they would recommend fixing the problem. At a minimum I would ask to have a certified repair per... | |

| Wav to Flac using Dbpoweramp Tag conversion is always a little mystifying until you go through it. One reason people like formats other than WAV is that the tags can be stored in the files.I use J River Media Center for a player and it has the option to store tags in a separa... | |
| Wav to Flac using Dbpoweramp Zd542 - thanks for correcting me, very politely, on the fact that the OP already has dBpoweramp. The only question is whether he has the free or full version. I find using dBpoweramp to see what tags are actually in the file to be very useful. Bef... | |
| Wav to Flac using Dbpoweramp Most WAV files do not have tags imbedded in them, although some do use extensions for limited tagging. The software player you are using is probably maintaining the tags separately. If you simply use dBpoweramp to convert the files, new tags will ... | |
| Help with computer... The Squeezebox is still available from 3rd parties, but I believe Logitech has discontinued it. | |
| Help with computer... Netbook ($250) and use the headphone out jack to go to you integrated. Just need a headphone jack to RCA converter - a few dollars at Radio Shack. For better quality, add a USB DAC (HRT Streamer II, e.g.), but with Pandora quality, the headphone j... | |
| Soundproof material for a dedicated room Green glue between 2 levels of dry wall works well. A separate wall, decoupled from the first is an excellent idea as long as you do not triple leaf. Go to the website for The Sound Proofing Company and read their explanations in Sound Proofing 10... | |
| We can finally email through Audiogon again. I am happy with the progress they are making. It is certainly slow, but moving in the right direction. Nice additions include sorting, zip code search by distance,location indicated in listings (at least in the US). If you look at the New Today, t... |
