| Has iTunes, etc. impacted your listening habits? It's most definitely affected my listening habits. I listen to a greater variety of music, more often. Having over 700 CD's at my fingertips is a no-brainer. I've also got into the habit of using the "PartyShuffle" feature of iTunes--mostly for ca... | |
| What music do you & your spouse/partner both love? We don't come together on a whole lot, but those we do both like are favorites for each of us:Patty GriffinRay LaMontagneTom WaitsGillian Welch | |
| iPod as a source 80 gig model, lossless I've used my 60gig iPod photo as a source with WAV files and a Signal Cable Silver Resolution cord going from the line-out. It's OK for background music, but does not have the PRAT of either my my Muse DAC or Modwright Sony. I much prefer the conv... | |
| "Great RCA interconnects under $100?" Pawlowski, I agree to disagree, so we're in agreement!To add my own .02 cents to the specific recommendations. For my ears, in my system, I've been impressed by Signal Cables which can be had new for under $100, and on the used market Mike Sanders... | |
| "Great RCA interconnects under $100?" Pawlowski - I'd suggest you re-read my post, as I don't think you understood it. I was not trying to compare water or jeans to IC's. I was using those examples to illustrate that people will pay more money for a given item for reasons far more com... | |
| Advice on iTunes Settings for the BIG RIP. When iTunes flunks on your Album Art, simply go to Amazon and find the listing for the CD and copy the large jpg file to your computer and apply it to the CD with the missing art.Good tip. I've had a question regarding this that I've yet to be abl... | |
| Which format to use - mp3 vs. windows lossless, Sounds like you've answered the question yourself. If you can't hear much of a difference yourself, why take up more space. For me it's a no-brainer, I hear a difference, so I choose lossless. You may want to try comparing more than just one file ... | |
| "Great RCA interconnects under $100?" If anyone can get Great RCA interconnects for $100, why would someone ever pay more.No, is the answer.You can get filtered water from your tap (assuming you have a simple filtration system), yet some folks are happy to pay several dollars for a gl... | |
| What equipment do you most regret parting with?? The radio in my 78' FJ-40 Landcruiser...well, actually I regret selling the whole truck! Hmmm, audio gear? I have had attachments to various pieces of gear, but no "regrets". Some good memories of fine gear from the past though: Wright Mono 10 amp... | |
| lack of interest I've had a similar experience lately. I have two pairs of speakers up for three weeks now, that are both fantastic and coveted speakers in their own right. Both at fair prices. My past experience has dictated that nothing I've sold has taken more ... | |
| What song is your fav.Emmylou cut??? Haven't heard enough to say I know her work as well as some here, but I particularly like "Deeper Well" from Wrecking Ball, and the title cut from Red Dirt Girl. She sings with one of my all-time favorites, Patty Griffin, on Patty's new album, "Ch... | |
| Floor standers or Monitors? Thanks for the link, Duke. Looks like an interesting debate. I'd tried out a pair of subs from TBI that my friend loaned me for a month. They seemed to integrate into the system better than the only other single sub I've tried, but the input was v... | |
| Floor standers or Monitors? As options are truly what I seek now I sure appreciate that one.Why not climb the Von Schweikert ladder? There's a pair of VR-10's that just came up here on A'gon. You can save $55K on the price of new and get lows down to 10hz and .01% distortion... | |
| Floor standers or Monitors? Thanks for clearing that up for me Bob! Sounds like something I should give that a try at some point.Duke - I'm interested in your input here too. Rather than reiterating it on this thread, would you post a link to the other thread you posted your... | |
| Floor standers or Monitors? Any time you have woofers covering a less strenuous or broad frequency range then there is an opportunity for better clarity and lower distortionTo give the relief to the mains you mention; doesn't this always necessitate sending the signal throug... |
