| Sound Cards Gboren,1. You make this "de-popping" sound really simple. Is it a quick one-button type thing, or does it involve multiple steps and real effort?2. If I still didn't care about "control" and editing, is the basic sound quality of the component-typ... | |
| Dell purchase Thanks to everyone here for the great advice! I am starting a new thread, called "sound cards". Based on the advice here, the choice of sound card is the main question. Also I hope to suck in people who may not have responded to the original "Dell... | |
| A Moment Of Silence For Waylon Jennings I have one of his records, have really enjoyed his music (since discovering him when the Grateful Dead covered "Mama Tried" at a concert in 1978).I'd really like to hear more recommendations for people's favorite Waylon recordings!Thanks! | |
| Budget CD / DVD or D/A solution Stan doesn't have an email address. I am at work so I don't have it handy, but you will find his phone number if you search here. | |
| Is McIntosh still a good choice? No one has addressed your question about the Arcam A85 integrated. First, I would note that at $1500 (new list, available new for less, as memory serves) for an integrated, this is in a different price league than Mcintosh (a lot cheaper)! If you ... | |
| Best used amp for around 500 An integrated would make a lot of sense here -- you would most likely get better sound than using your receiver as a pre-amp into a separate amp, for not much more money. And you can be more confident about what it will sound like when you are don... | |
| Best used amp for around 500 Dan,The pre-amp portion of your system has as much, or more, effect on your overall sound as does the amp. This is why people are asking about whether you plan to use your receiver as a pre-amp -- your receiver will continue to be a limiting facto... | |
| Therapy: Mechanical & Audio Good luck with the physical therapy! I suggest you search here for these excellent threads:"Most achingly beautiful music"and"Music for tough times"Both should be relevant to your situation!Some other great music threads (not so much about pain, t... | |
| What is stopping the ultimate? Clueless,I agree with you.Many of the amp vendors do actually talk about current. At the low-end of hi-fi (where I and my budget reside!) talking about "high-current" designs and providing at least sketchy numbers (very sketchy) to partially back ... | |
| Best used amp for around 500 How about the Rotel RB-1070 or the model that it replaced (the RB-980, I think?)? 135WPC, very clean inside, with dual transformers. The discontinued model can be had (if you can find it) new for $400, probably $200 to $300 used.I think you will f... | |
| Dylan on Drugs ? Hi, regarding Love and Theft, has anyone heard both the CD and the vinyl versions? I am deciding which to buy.Thank you!- Eric | |
| Speaker selector switches... I have been thinking of feeding a dedicated "house" amp (bridged mono) into a "passive resistance network" that will allow me to have all the speakers powered at once. Then I plan to have volume controls (or on/off controls) by each speaker.While ... | |
| Recommend location and type for kitchen speakers This is interesting to me because I had not considered in-wall speakers. I assumed they would not sound as good as, say, small bookshelves or monitors suspended in a corner (something in the $300 - $700 per pair range).Are the good in-walls really... | |
| Speaker positioning? Nabatov,I don't think I'm the same guy. In my dreams I would be buying your Accuphase CD player!But yes, I did get good advice (see the thread above).In the end, I got a *large* decent carpet for free (someone in the neighborhood moving), and have... | |
| Copying DVDs? Yes, I'm curious about the technology involved. I don't yet have either a CD burner or a DVD player.I'm curious because I assumed that DVD-V and CDs are so different that you could never have a movie on CD. Also that DVDs hold more info, so that q... |
