| Help me choose a power conditioner, please Low Budget? try PowerVar - designed for medical use, lab work etc. Got mine used for $70 - weighs 40 pounds, 6 outlets. Make sure the model your looking at has enough outlets and amperage for your intended use. | |
| Cheap DIY FM Antenna You said CHEAP, right? I built this one with a few feet of speaker wire and a few wooden sticks glued together. Slips nicely hidden behind my entertainment unit, though it is directionally sensitive. You can also build one right on a wall by wrapp... | |
| Redbook cd's??? I've seen the redbook - it is a real book... I used to work for Philips - the technical specifications for creating and reading a CD were contained in a giant "Red Book", ie red three rind binder (hence the name) - when I was there in 90-96 we wer... | |

| Pat Metheny Fans, Great Suggestions Please ?? I'm one HUGE metheny fan - have pretty much everything he's recorded, seen him live many times, met him, etc. I would preview all these on itunes and read the user reviews too. On itunes radio you'll find the official Pat Metheny radio station - j... | |
| New Michael Brecker CD, A few months ago I happened to turn on internet radio and heard a great song called “Every Day (I Thank You)” featuring Pat Metheny and Michael Brecker. That reminded to check out Metheny's website which I hadn't visited in a while, where I found ... | |
| What is the best used sub-$500 DAC? I have a DAC-ah - around $220 new - 8 parallel chips - NOS (non oversampling - filterless). Plenty of good reviews and fans of it here. But then I have not heard a lot of DAC's except I can say it sounds a lot better richer, deeper soundstage than... | |
| AppleTV as my main digital source. Opinions? T-Bone - you are correct, the USB out is not currently configured for any consumer use or output. I don't understand why you think outputting the digital stream to any high quality DAC would not be a high quality solution. Or why the USB port on t... | |

| Help with Jazz BeBop A true avid jazz fan already has plenty Miles and Coltrane I would suspect. How about someting brand new and awesome? Drummer Paul Motian has released a bunch of brilliant things on ECM recently - Garden of Eden from last year with some great ming... | |
| Spare change on a speaker cabinet If by spare change you mean a 10-pound bag of nickels. Good way to stabilize any speaker or component. I happen to have a bag of lead shot on top of my transport right now. I use these cheapo vinyl auto ashtrays as bags for higher SAF- one has lea... | |
| Are the Grammy's becoming irrelevant? The grammys are irrelevant as is the record industry for the most part. The record companies are so out of touch with what makes good "music" and their awards show can only re-iterate that fact. By contrast the Oscars are fairly relevant and actua... | |
| DIY connectors for a VOLEX power cable I can't asnwer your question - but would like to ask where you got these? Having trouble finding them instock online.I have stock powercords on everything - want to start cheap and move up - the opposite of you! | |
| Meldau/Metheny: Thoughts? This is an interesting pairing - two brilliant musicians that are a generation apart - yet whose styles seems to mesh well together. They are touring together - just a few gigs in some big symphony halls (too big a room - and pretty expensive) che... |
