Cowboy Junkies junky needs to expand
I'll second the Over the Rhine recommendation - get the "Ohio" album (available on vinyl from their website) you won't regret it!Absolutely..."Ohio" is great. Also by them, if you can find it (some used copies are at the link), "Good Dog, Bad Dog"... 
Cowboy Junkies junky needs to expand
Love the Cowboy Junkies and have seen them in concert a couple of times. Along with good selections above, I'd highly recommend Over the Rhine, The Innocence Mission (used to open for TCJ), perhaps Gillian Welch if you like to push it a bit toward... 
Your favorites amplifiers for their visual look ?
Hey Jax2......I'm sure there's some coffee machines in those photos?Those'd be some mighty expensive coffee machines! I do love the style of coffee machines that I think you're referencing too (I'm a coffee junkie too), though not as beautiful as ... 
Your favorites amplifiers for their visual look ?
To my eyes, not even remotely any contest whatsoever: Electronluv...nothing else even comes close on visual looks. 
Ohm Micro Walsh small vs. tall
Jax2  (Reviews | Threads | Answers)03-07-10: Simon_templar_32Jax2You know, I wondered if you'd recognize me. Holy cow, do you have a posting history! Right now, they are being used as rears until the eleven-channel wide-and-height receivers/proces... 
Ohm Micro Walsh small vs. tall
Hey Mike - How did those shorts work out in your system? 
Newbie question - equipment with good resale value
Definitely good advice above. Buy used from reputable sellers and you will not loose much if anything on smart investments that way. Two more omissions from above:Cary and Teres 
Ohm Micro Walsh small vs. tall
I can't comment on the wall version, but I had the Micro Walsh Shorts (which are 22" tall) and have also heard the Micro Walsh Talls at my friend's house. The shorts do loose a bit of low end to the talls, but not much. I believe the wall mounts l... 
Netbook to USB DAC to Headphone Amp on Batteries
The RWA Isabellina HPA is a usb dac with headphone output and it runs on batteries. Right now Im using a laptop run off its batteries into a offramp run on a bpt power supply then into my battery powered Isabellina HPA. Im completly off the grid a... 
The truth about Apple/iTunes volume control?
So, now I guess it's legitimate to ask - is that a totally bogus response from a manufacturer? Should I "out" this manufacturer once and for all for the shoddy operation that it is?I'm hoping that last question was tongue-in-cheek. Again, of ever... 
The truth about Apple/iTunes volume control?
Robr45- I don't see what's "completely bizarre" about being reluctant to drag a manufacturer's name into a discussion thread where a lot of folks seem to think there's a scandal brewing. In my humble opinion, your hifalutin tone is what's bizarre.... 
The truth about Apple/iTunes volume control?
From their previous posts to the A'gon forum I would guess the OP might be asking about the Blue Circle Thingee, but that is purely speculation. Oddly enough it employs the TI PCM2706 DAC - I've just recently read a comment on a different product ... 
The truth about Apple/iTunes volume control?
Well, it's a USB DAC that I like and I'd prefer not to start talking about how I'm "having trouble" with it unless that's a crucial question here. I'd really like to just focus on the general question of volume control on iTunes/Macs.It's a releva... 
I want a warmer high end
"Warmth" is usually indicative of a boost in the midrange. To ask for a "warmer high end" doesn't make much sense, but I think I know what you mean because you describe it well in your first sentence. You might want to indicate what amp you are us... 
Getting Started
I figured though in terms of bang for the buck, the overall feature story outweighed the usual suspects in the int. category. HP amp, DAC, iPod dock (with lower powered Decco), sub out, pre & amp flexibility... etc. Since the OP is looking fo...
