| Left on DVD Too long ? sad mistake ? An Oppo DV-980h $169Sony Playstation 3 off Craigslist $250Pulleeeze... China makes perfectly fine products. What more do you want for the price people expect to pay for things. Just don't buy a GM, Ford, or Chrysler.Granted given all things being ... | |
| Ikea "Lyte" Rack... anyone with experience? Yeah I have read the other threads... probably all of them. I have another thread going right now on Audio Asylum, one respondent had legs that were solid (the wood veneer versions), but he bought his end table about a year and a half ago.I know t... | |
| Ikea "Lyte" Rack... anyone with experience? Thanks. I think I ordered the same cones from Parts Express. I have to cut up the legs, but they feel solid. A lot heavier relative to the tops. I bought the end tables off Craigslist, so I'm hoping I lucked out and got the older version.The "new"... | |
| Airtunes dropouts with Mac mini to Airport Express PS.. Ethernet to Airport Express would not work. Music can only be sent through the Mini-Jack. If you use a 3mm RCA Y cable then you're using the AE's DAC. Use a mini-toslink optical cable and it sends the signal to YOUR DAC.The USB output on the ... | |
| Airtunes dropouts with Mac mini to Airport Express Or get another router... and if the situation doesn't improve, return it. I'm listening to the AE right now, like you, configured to "join" my existing network and it works great. You can't beat the convenience. I've used a D-link, Linksys (WRT54G... | |
| Airtunes dropouts with Mac mini to Airport Express I had the same problem with a Linksys router. It was around Christmas time. Turns out the "router" is preset... I think... to operate on Channel 1. However, it will do as well on Channel 7. I searched online and one guy explained that when many pe... | |
| Clueless Analog Newbie, Looking to Buy If you have a built in phonostage already, you're definitely on your way. Slap a MM or HOMC cartridge on whatever table... just get something off of Craigslist and you're good to go.I started listening to music with LPs and didn't know the first t... | |
| Clueless Analog Newbie, Looking to Buy Analog is expensive. Turntable, cartridge and the phonostage are all important. I'm learning that right now. It's worth it, I suppose. I think it's fun just to handle an LP versus a CD, but I suspect that just to get the sound that all those on th... | |
| Copper Sleeve over IEC Same as Ozzy, too much was not a good thing for my system either.The tweak worked awesome with my CD player (or what I'm using as a CD Player, PS 1), and my Oppo 980 DVD player, improved, but to a lesser extent, my DAC, but killed the sonics on my... | |
| Optical /Toslink I second the VDH Optocoupler. Review (supposedly the WireWorld Super Nova is good too):http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews/toslink/toslink_2.htmlhttp://www.vandenhul.com/p_B42.aspx | |
| laptop headphone socket out to amps And no, most likely not. Your CDP would sound better, but try it and see..I don't like lossless. I swear it sounds flat and compressed. I use bit for bit AIFF, and if I'm worried about hardrive space or it's overproduced dance/lounge type stuff, I... | |
| laptop headphone socket out to amps If you have a Macbook, the headphone jack outputs an optical signal as well.You just need to get a mini-toslink (laptop end) to toslink cable. I use a VanDenHul optocoupler. | |
| PC vs MAC laptop as music server Mac.On a non-audiophile note:I've had my macbook (knock on wood) for nearly 2 years, and it's on pretty much 24/7 and I have absolutely no problems with it. Also you don't need a new operating system every year like Windows (this is huge in my boo... | |
| AT150mlx price went up Wow.. I just ordered mine last Thursday from J & R for $249..Thanks to Johnnyb53....and missed one with 15 hours on it for $200 Canadian. Good thing I didn't procrastinate. | |
| Denon DL 160/DV 10x5, PrimaLuna PL2 Factory Stage Thanks for the replies. I just ordered the AT150MLX from J&R.I figured I have a MM phonostage, so might as well get a MM cartridge. Seems pretty well liked amongst other members.. |
