| Black Raviolis Providing a link might help. Bill, I'd recommend a nice puttanesca sauce. Marco | |
| How to manage a big itunes library? PS If you do backup to DVD, my calculations, I think, were for WAV files. If you use Apple Lossless or some other compression scheme you'd be using much fewer DVD's. Also, if you back up to DVD, I'd strongly recommend buying high quality media suc... | |
| How to manage a big itunes library? Another very tedious backup solution is to back up to dual-layer or single layer DVD's. That is best facilitated using a backup program that allows backup to multiple discs. If you have a library of of 5000 CD's that would take about 330 DVD's or ... | |
| How to manage a big itunes library? Dean - The OWC stuff is highly respected for using quality parts. My friend has a 500gig Mercury Elite Pro drive and it's pretty noisy so that's a downside to them. Other than that they are used by many photogs, as are G-Tech, for their reliabilit... | |
| How to manage a big itunes library? There is also Neil Van Berg's Music Vault which is a standalone solution (no computer interface needed). It backs up (automatically I think) to an external USB drive(s) of your choice. It is compatible with both WIFI And USB interfaces like Tranps... | |
| how much would you say a good set up cost $30K is ridiculous as a minimum startup figure given the qualifications of the original post for what a 'good system' revealed, IMHO. One can get a damn rewarding system, especially on the used market for under 5 figures. I'd reiterate that a bad ... | |
| How to manage a big itunes library? Yo Dean - Boy, the reviews on Amazon are really spotty for those units. I dunno, if you are going for something in the room I might look for a potentially quieter solution (seems to be a frequent complaint). There was a similar unit that all the p... | |
| how much would you say a good set up cost Undertow beat me to it. I'd agree that the room is potentially the most expensive, most often neglected and critical links to getting great sound from any system. Everyone has their threshold of both investment and discrimination of investment/imp... | |
| How to manage a big itunes library? If you want a more seamless backup you may want to consider one of the less expensive RAID solutions that use very simple interfaces. In this scenario you would have a slightly larger RAID unit as your primary music library. The RAID unit contains... | |
| Best looking Amp/Preamp/Integrated? Metro 04 - You sussed me out! I'm definitely passionate about my opinions. If I didn't have a passionate opinion I would likely have not posted at all - that's just me. I'm also a very visual person so that compounded my fervor. I thought my reaso... | |
| Best looking Amp/Preamp/Integrated? Jax2; His amps would be right at home in "Flash Gordon".Nice stuff, but remains a 'contest' contender.I beg to differ. The entire list you referenced as links is nothing more or less than glorified boxes. I've seen it all before and it's boring. S... | |
| Best looking Amp/Preamp/Integrated? No contest: Electronluv - nothing comes remotely close. It's a look that can easily polarize the beholder (you either love it or hate it). To my eyes it is industrial art - nothing mentioned here is even in the same category as far as this is conc... | |
| What is the best band ever? 16 Horsepower (granted, a very personal choice and well outside of the mainstream...hey, you asked!) | |
| PC Based Audio - How? Right now I'm looking for my best options using the USB output from a Mac into a DAC via I2s, bypassing S/PDIF altogether.Dean - you may want to check out Empirical Audio's gear. It may be just what you are looking for.Marco | |
| Most expensive Topping the list is certainly the Magicorific Grand Theft Bailouts, at $700 billion and change! Josh Stipich's speakers aren't on that list, and I'm sure, though not at the top, would be in the top 20. His site has been in limbo for a long while, ... |
