| Connecting I-pod to Integrated Amplifiers CK - If you want to read an actual "review" of how the iPod performs within the context of a good system, this 6moons piece is much more to the point and will give folks a better idea of what to expect, and what not to. It's pretty much on the mon... | |
| NHT 3.3s -- too big for my room? The only thing I might hesitate about is the 3.3's bass output. I've heard those speakers extensively in my friends system (much larger room) and they put out some of the lowest, most detailed bass I've heard. His system was the upper tier of Levi... | |
| Connecting I-pod to Integrated Amplifiers I find it pretty amazing that a reviewer would go out on a limb and say that a iPod sounds decent through a high resolution system.I read it over again, and I really can't find any critical review of the iPod's sound in that system whatsoever! The... | |
| Cars R OK, but what kind of motorcycle do you have I learned to ride, and rode for seven years in NYC. I actually enjoyed it quite a bit till my bike was stolen (with the heavy duty lock on it). I lived in the city so had only to commute over the Brooklyn or Manhattan Bridge to get into town. It's... | |
| Connecting I-pod to Integrated Amplifiers CK - I've read that 6moons article before. It really is more about the Avantgarde speakers more than the iPod IMO, but does have some helpful iPod info. Overall it occurs to me as an audio fluff piece. When it came to the question anyone who is li... | |
| Is iPod Digital Output Possible? Nnyc - This has me baffled...how the heck is Monitor Audio able get a bitstream from the docking port of an iPod. I thought there was no S/PDIF output within the iPod. This seems so blatantly obvious and marketable, why hasn't anyone else bothered... | |
| Hallelujah by Lenard Cohen you are welcome to listen the next time you are in Iowa city (I should be safe--who goes to Iowa City?)Damn, and I was just recently in Des Moines shooting for a book project! No, seriously, I'm not kidding!Marco | |
| What headphone amp to buy-Sennheiser HD 600? You're welcome Bill...enjoy!MarcoPS Fluke manufactures various electriconic test tools. Overkill for your purposes - no need to spend that kind of money. I think their least expensive multimeter is currently around $150. Save your money and buy so... | |
| Connecting I-pod to Integrated Amplifiers Whoops, I said 300+ CD's on a 60GB iPod in ALAC format. Not true. It's a mere 120 CD's. My mind must have been wandering to my shriveling johnson and failing eyesight.Cool mods at RedWine - thanks for the links. I still want to know why no one see... | |
| Is iPod Digital Output Possible? As an addendum to my ramblings here, I discovered that the problem I was having was with the $99 device that was providing the line output on my iPod. Can't recall the manufacturer, but I believe they were the only ones offering a dock with dual R... | |
| Connecting I-pod to Integrated Amplifiers Agree; definitely use the line-out, or the line-out on a Dock if you don't have one on your iPod. Do not use the headphone jack which runs off the tiny op-amp in the iPod. Better yet, if there were some solution to get a digital output from the iP... | |
| What headphone amp to buy-Sennheiser HD 600? I use a Fluke. No need to go that direction. Take Swampwalker's good advice. That'll do the job just fine. Since you are new to this, have the salesman show you just how to set it to read mV. It should be clearly marked...but just in case...Marco | |
| Best color s to paint dedicated listening room Including sheet plastic? ;)Ohhh, for some reason I just had a vision of Phillip Seymore Hoffman's character in "Happiness" plastering that picture up on his wall. Marco | |
| Best color s to paint dedicated listening room Paint it "Auric Illuminator Green"....just the edges of the room though. You will get sonic improvements to write home about. Make sure to put a carpet down too; all those dropping jaws can really mark up a hardwood floor finish.Marco | |
| Hallelujah by Lenard Cohen I'm pretty sure you have to play it backwards to hear the lyrics.I had a feeling you knew the last key to revealing the holy grail of track 10. I just didn't want to give it ALL away! MarcoPS Beautiful system, BTW. Now there's an SS system I'd lik... |
