| A trick with Scotch Whisky I've never been a huge fan of the bourbon finishes--think Macallan intro'd some of those as well. The goal seems to be to convert bourbonites into whiskyites. But, like Transnova, I had one of those bad experiences that leaves me unable to appreci... | |
| A trick with Scotch Whisky Kennyt-I'll certainly put a bit of spring water in cask strength malt... Otherwise its really too "hot"--I thought most of the cask strength bottles I had were actually more like 90% alcohol. Most "single malts" are actually watered down from cask... | |
| A trick with Scotch Whisky Aie! And I thought it was bad when some other A'goners talked in another thread about putting ice in your whisky! | |
| B&W Rip-Off Krellm7-But, geez, what if there is only one bid? Since BZB is a retail shop, would he post a minimum bid that was lower that what he was really willing to sell for? Since he is the only importer, ya think he might be able to arbitrarily manipulat... | |
| B&W Rip-Off Geez Krellm7, take a pill. The way I read the ad (the jump link is actually pretty funny), they are 700 clams, not $1K, so your argument loses a little steam. I'm guessing, based on other feedback about TAD, you might get your money's worth. As fa... | |
| B&W Rip-Off OK, I'm wondering why you feel the need to poke at this? The seller (who has a 2.5 year record of good feedback), isn't advertising them as B&Ws. If copied designs were the basis for crapping on things, you could slam 90% of the industry. Let ... | |
| Any reliability horror stories out there? OK, OK, engaged fingers before engaging brain. Didn't mean to bash the French... Hell, I'm a beeeg fan of their wine & cheese industries. I seem to recall their satellite launch vehicles have a pretty stellar rating too. In my defense, that mi... | |
| Audiophile USB to PCM Hmm... Neither ASIO.dll nor ASIO4ALL.dll shows up if I run a search on *.dll. Yet, the Waveterminal behaves like its ASIO, the "control panel" says "ASIO 2.0" on it prominently, and the website states: "MME & DirectSound Driver, ASIO 2.0, Dire... | |
| Any reliability horror stories out there? I had never ending problems with a Micromega CD player in the day. I should have seen that one coming. While the French may rightfully claim superiority in a number of disciplines and arts, engineering doesn't typically make the list. | |
| More on the Sony fiasco There are ways around that too. I gather you could rip the CD, as long as you didn't install the viewer for the "added content." Frankly, I don't know that there is any way of rendering a CD unrippable if the CD has to conform to redbook specs.Nev... | |
| Audiophile USB to PCM I double checked, I am using the ASIO with foobar... The waveterminal does not upsample, however. | |

| Plasma owners any problems?? I like my Pio Elite--I've got the 1410HD. No dead pixels. Great picture quality and depth--best I've seen other than the Fujitsu. The only shortcomings--this isn't necessarily Pio specific--are:1. A lack of inputs. I resorted to buying a switch, s... | |
| Will MFSL gold cds sound better on pc audio than Don't know much about XRCDs.As far as MFSL, you are paying for better masters and mastering, so yes, they do sound better... | |
| Is my wireless setup as good as a decent CD Player Don't think of the wireless as inducing jitter--the wireless is 802.11, which should be packet-based protocol. That means that the data is being reclocked for output in the Airport, since PCM over toslink or coax is a stream. The reclocking is whe... |
