| What are the best modified FM tuners of 2005? I like my HH Scott 350B from around 1962, recently retubed and adjusted by a friend in the biz who owed me a favor. Damn, never heard the radio sound so good! My wife was in the shower when I turned it on recently and was alarmed when she opened t... | |

| The Debate's Not Over Good God Marco! Come down off that chandelier, get yerself some Valium with a vodka chaser, and relax!Hey, I live up here, I ain't comin' down! The valium and vodka sound like a good suggestion though.Marco | |
| What new music did you get for Christmas? Some nice recommendations in here. Having listened through my stack a few times now, I'll stick with a strong recommendation for Mary Gauthier's "Mercy Now" as well as Rickie Lee Jones "Naked Songs" (if you are a fan of her music). The latter is a... | |
| Is iPod Digital Output Possible? Hector - I have an Alpine head unit in the same series, and the same KCA-4201 iPod interface. That was the unit that made me curious if what I'm asking is possible. Alpine makes a nice head unit, but I find the iPod interface to be a bit tedious..... | |
| Is iPod Digital Output Possible? Wavelength Audio has USB DAC'sYes, I know about their DACs. There are several companies with USB DAC's but they require a USB input (female). The only dongles cables available from the iPod Dock are USB male. I don't think you can reverse that or ... | |
| Is iPod Digital Output Possible? Hepl (Hector) - yep, I've done the same using a smaller (250gb) external drive (smaller drive using Apple Lossless format). I use a Waveterminal U24 and am also very happy with the setup. But I was looking for a portable solution that didn't invol... | |
| Isolation of my chair, am I crazy??? Thanks Jadem! With regular use of The Perch™ my sphincter has been giving out and I may indeed need some extra support. Glad to know you'll be there for me! I knew you were a stand-up kind of guy! I'll get in touch when the dark area on the broom ... | |
| Best Choice for Docking Station for an IPOD CW London - I have a pair of the Swans and they sound damn good for such an inexpensive speaker. Also they are well built. Unfortunately I got screwed by a dishonest Agon seller with mine. That's a long story I won't go into here except to say the... | |
| Isolation of my chair, am I crazy??? You're in good company Jadem. I beat you to it by a couple of years my friend:http://www.nwlink.com/~jax/tweak.html (WARNING: contains some written material that may offend those brought up on the right side of the tracks)Marco | |
| Is iPod Digital Output Possible? Ed - I was only estimating based upon 600mb/CD in WAV (perhaps I'm off there. I'll have to see how many are actually on my iPod. Compression is about right though. My Alpine car rig is set up with a box that takes the iPod feed from its dock. I wa... | |
| Weird Setup - Will it Work? Peter - why not get her a 3-way speaker switch box like I have from Bryston (or a cheaper version from Niles). Sell the NAD and pick up a decent tuner.Marco | |
| Is iPod Digital Output Possible? Elevick - Nothing on my iPod is in MP3 - to the mere suggestion of listening to anything compressed that way at all I'd say "why bother". I have a 60 gig ipod that holds my tunes in Apple Lossless. That's about 170 CD's which is certainly better t... | |
| quandary: inefficient speakers, low-power amp It may be a more expensive experiment, and I cannot speak to actually reccomend the solution as being good or bad, but you might also consider Paul Speltz's Zero-Autoformers as a possible solution. They are essentially in-line (speaker cables) tra... | |
