iTunes idiot needs some help
Once you figure out how to do this, perhaps someone can tell me how I can 'compress' my LaScala's to fit in the door panels of my van! Marco

How do I keep my cats off my amplifier?
Aw, c'mon Adidadi, I seriously doubt any of those suggestions were meant as anything more than for the sake of humor. Can't recall the author of the comic books published a few years back (was it B. Kliban?) titled "The I Hate Cats Book" or someth... 
High energy dance music recommendations?
Congratulations to you Steve! 50lbs is a pretty significant achievement. Music to move by is a pretty subjective and wide open category. Perhaps if you let us know a few things you've heard that make you want to move around the room others can bas... 
I'm a little stumped
Hey, that's what makes this forum so much fun Fishboat! Glad to be of help. Just a few more thoughts based on your recent words:Oh my, YES, YES, YES, improving your front end can have a HUGE impact on sound IMHO, especially given your current play... 
Wife approval factor?
Anyone who actually puts their stereo over their marriage/significant relationship, has got to have some priorities out of line IMHO. People are as different as their fingerprints and we aren't always as lucky as others to share our greatest passi... 
I'm a little stumped
Fishboat - What kinds of music do you like to listen to? How big is your listening room? What is your budget? The answer to those questions may narrow down your choices in the wide selection of amplifcation that will work with you Chorus II's. My ... 
I'm a little stumped
I'd agree with Plato, Chorus would be hard to beat for the $. If your expectations are set by a horn+tube sound I think you'd have to expect that an Electorstatic powered by SS will sound quite different. I have a good friend who is also a horn/tu... 
How about a new addition to every posting made?
Seems to me they could accomplish that with a footer field that would run at the bottom of the post - similar to the header field that carries the subject. Just limit the characters to a bit more than the subject header since some classical titles... 
How about a new addition to every posting made?
GREAT IDEA Sean! I've always have enjoyed the 'music' aspect of these forums and have had some great recommendations come from reading here. It would also help understand different members musical tastes/leanings which is an important aspect of un... 
Subwoofer options for Klipsch La Scala
30hz Sean?! Damnation man, that's spectacular for a Scala! Can you share those mods, or point to a URL? My Scalas drop off very sharply after 50hz (using a ratshack SPL meter in a fairly large space with no sidewalls) in their slightly modified fo... 
Spectacular Drum Set?
If you want an utterly astounding recording of percussion instruments there is a rather difficult to find CD called "Qalam Kar" by Chemirani Trio. It is an Iranian recording of a father-son trio who are masters of the Persian Dumbek. Truly one of ... 
Music from hard drive better than CD?
Thanks Rsbeck. RAM Electronicssells all kinds of convertors to go either direction. If you are just buying a single-purpose digital convertor they're pretty inexpensive should you want to try your EMM labs. Multi-use converters like M-Audio's CO2 ... 
Best Soundtracks
Slipknot1, I think you and I were separated at birth. We have had many similar tastes over the years. Did you ever try that monkey on the whale Zinfandel I recommended a ways back?Oh, and I mispelled the Madredeus soundtrack. It should be "Ainda"!... 
Music from hard drive better than CD?
I'm about to delve into this stuff as well so am very interested in this thread. From what I understand you can run your lossless digital file (WAV or AIFF) from your hard drive via a USB to SPDIF convertor into virtually any DAC with an S/PDIF in...
