Who has found happiness giving up cd player? You can find happiness, but only *after* you've ripped your entire CD collection. And you'll have peace of mind only after you've backed everything up. If you've got lots and lots of CDs, the process can be not a little daunting -- and exceedingly... | |
Capacitance and mathematics Confused, indeed. (By the Wikipedia entry, that is.) And hopeful about my assumptions. Thanks. | |
Is it proper to leave amp on all the time? you might think of it like this: You know how a light bulb most frequently burns out -- blows out, really -- when you switch it on, and not when it's just sitting there glowing? That's because switching it on causes a great big surge, stressing th... | |
General PC Audio Set-Up Question I'm not sure that you can stream the music from the Time Capsule, as you intend. I have one, and it doesn't allow you to do a whole lot, except for what it is intended. (It does that well, but that's another story.) I stream from a Mac Mini to an ... | |
McCormack TLC-1 Deluxe Remote Are you sure you mean the TLC-1? I've owned two of these -- am currently using one that was modded by SMC Audio -- and I can assure you that they have no kind of remote capability. McCormack did produce a remote-controllable unit, the RLD-1, back ... | |
The Harbeth phenomenon I've owned lots and lots of speakers. I currently have five pairs, in fact, which is probably more than I need, but that's another story altogether. The ones I used to have that I miss the most -- and began to miss the minute I sold them -- were a... | |
Do I need a phono stage? noob needs help Think of it like this: That little electrical signal coming from that tiny wiggling piece of diamond sitting in the groove of a spinning vinyl record needs some help. It not only doesn't have the oomph of what comes out of your CDP or your tuner, ... | |
Speakers this way, or that, with cathedral ceiling Thanks for your help on this. It will be a whole new world for me, something I've never experienced. Looking forward to it all. | |
What is your favorite guitar solo of all time? Robert Fripp going completely crazy on Brian Eno's "Baby's on Fire" from the album Here Come the Warm Jets." When I first heard it nearly 35 years ago, I stood in complete awe -- and laughed, too. Had the same reaction when I listened to it a few ... | |
Which Beach Boys LP after Pet Sounds Amateur record reviewers John Alroy and David Bertrand Wilson's Beach Boys page offers some often-excellent guidance. http://www.warr.org/brian.htmlWhile some might disagree with certain of the reviews -- note, for example, the largely negative ta... | |
the greatest pop song ever? Both are easy: "Wouldn't It Be Nice" and Princess Grace. Don't believe me? Plop your copy of "Pet Sounds" on the 'table even as you begin to watch "Rear Window." Next questions? | |
Name your lame duck artist........ The Doors. Really. | |
Snow Leopard and audio quality I gave this a shot today -- hey, what better way to spend a Sunday afternoon, right? -- and found, much to my delight, that things are really improved after doing a clean install. It's like the whole system got dialed in, with everything coming in... | |
Beatles Remasters: Mono vs. Stereo Debate Thread If you are scoring at home -- or if you're alone -- the release date, 09/09/09, is just 09 days away. I'm very happy that I preordered both the stereo and mono boxes. | |
Another stupid iTunes question Oops. Should have said "option" sted "control" key in above. (Not enough coffee yet.) |
