| Heads up: New Marshall Crenshaw CD I was working in a record store back when Marshall Crenshaw's first record came out. Despite our having a jillion different promo titles to choose among, we all of us -- the owner, the manager, the hourly employees -- spun his fabulous record agai... | |
| Moving music from PC to Mac Thanks so much for your help! | |
| Moving music from PC to Mac Wow. It's that easy? I thought I was going to have to edit an xml file or something. | |
| Artists that sound alike - your best match-up I recently had the iTunes shuffle thing going while I was doing some other stuff around the house. One tune stopped me. I thought it was one of those Velvet Underground oddities from the box set, but when I checked the computer, it was Jonathan Ri... | |
| Do you spend more on audio than your income allows Sure, but I spend more than my income allows on everything else, too! | |
| Best Albums Of 2008 I'd add "Stay Positive" by The Hold Steady to the list. The album I kept on coming back to over and over and over again last year. | |
| Celestion Sl-700 bolts Thanks, Rushton. I appreciate it. | |
| Speaker/Equipment Placement I tried a bunch of different setups after moving into new digs two years ago -- equipment in between, equipment rack off to the side, moving everything to another wall and then trying both again. You get the idea. I always ended up enjoying the mu... | |
| Please disclose your commercial affiliation I agree completely that all affiliations should be disclosed. Always. Just because you've mentioned once that you work for Company X, someone reading a post a month or a year later might not know that and think that you are offering legitimate adv... | |
| Best cable for short monoblock runs? I used a pair of Cardas Neutral Reference with McCormack (modded) monoblocks and B&W Signature 805s, and was quite happy with the results. Neutral, indeed. I had previously been using Signal Cable, and the Cardas wires were a real improvement. | |
| Floatin' along the iTunes stream until ... Thanks, Herman. I'm doin' the former, with A running iTunes accessing the shared library. I did have some dropout problems one afternoon, but otherwise it's been really good. Maybe I'll start to understand this one o' these days. | |
| Remote control from the next room Thanks, guys. Perhaps I was in a Bad Buy rather than a Best Buy. Or maybe stopping by on the day after Christmas was singularly unwise. I'll hit another store this weekend. | |
| Help for a blind audiophile I really do appreciate all of these kind offers -- and if I had a half a brain in my head, I'd try to find someone in my area -- but I really was hoping that someone could tell me if metal faces metal or if metal hooks into plastic -- and if this ... | |
| Help for a blind audiophile Thanks for the kind idea, Wendell. But I've got a geek friend at work who should be able to do this for me, though probably not for a couple of weeks.(He don't know much about stereos, but he is good with computers, so I doubt this will be a probl... | |
| Bookshelf Speakers That Bolt or Screw Into Stands The Celestion Sl-700s, which very occasionally turn up here for a reasonable price, had matching stands -- and bolts that attached speaker and stand. They were absolutely fabulous, but replacement parts are no longer available, so buy at your own ... |
