| Metal grilles over Linn Keilidh woofers I have old Linn Sekrits with floor stands in a secondary system. They have those metal grilles, and I've never had a concern that somehow the grilles might be keeping the speakers from performing at their best. It would be a strange design decisio... | |
| Universal Remote to control Bel Canto Pre2 Mine got ruined by batteries that suddenly erupted inside. I used the remote regularly, but the batteries just gave up the ghost one day, taking the remote with it. I called Duracell today, and they will pay for half the $70 cost of the replacemen... | |
| Universal Remote to control Bel Canto Pre2 Bel Canto is able to sell me a new remote control for my s300iP. It's costing me $70, including shipping, a pretty penny considering I may only use it to program a universal RC before relegating it to backup duty. But I don't have much choice, and... | |
| Universal Remote to control Bel Canto Pre2 By the way, Mike, earlier you posted that Bel Canto had "no other answer except get a used one...." Does that mean they had no RC's for your Pre2 to sell you? | |
| Universal Remote to control Bel Canto Pre2 The adaptor is pretty readily available from different sources. The fact that New Potato hasn't bothered to update the device to work directly with the Lightning connector, which Apple introduced 3 1/2 years ago, gave me pause. New Potato's TuneLi... | |
| Universal Remote to control Bel Canto Pre2 Thanks for pointing to this. I prefer a regular remote, and also, I'd need a Lightning-to-30-pin adaptor to use the FLPR with my 5th Gen iPod Touch, which would make the setup kind of bulky. But it's good to know what options are out there, since ... | |
| Universal Remote to control Bel Canto Pre2 I am in the same Bel Canto boat. I have a BC s300iP, a remote control ruined by ruptured batteries, and a desire to teach a Harmony remote the BC codes. If anyone were in a position to loan me their BC remote, I would be happy to pay shipping and ... | |
| Universal Remote to control Bel Canto Pre2 Hello, Mike, Did you get anywhere with your inquiries to BC and Logitech? I've read a number of posts around the web on the Harmony remotes and Bel Canto equipment, and they all seem to end with the poster being advised to contact one or the other... | |
| Pure Music Functionality Question OnH, Have you tried PM out since you posted? FWIW, I played with the current version (1.86?) a little bit on my old iBook with a G4 and only a little over 1 GB RAM. It worked well in terms of playing through all selected tracks. I irresponsibly (g... | |
| Vibration Theory - Isolate or Drain? So many factors, unknowns, and interactions -- it seems like only trial and error can produce satisfactory answers. The goal is to prevent vibrations at the resonant frequencies that most harm a piece of equipment's performance from affecting that... | |
| Pure Music Question Just another data point on Pure Music with wireless. I found that music from PM through Airfoil through Airport Express was an improvement over iTunes airtuning to AE. Was a little surprised, pleasantly so, about that. PM made overall improvements... | |
| Converting to Apple Lossless Just wanted to add that the format displayed in the "Convert to xxxxx" command matches whatever encoder you have selected in iTunes preferences. | |
| Willie Nelson, the star who wasn't supposed to be It was brought to my attention that I typed in the wrong year for Red Headed Stranger...should be 1975. This is Willie singing about his outlaw alter ego. Actually, it's hard for me to choose between RHS and Phases and Stages, from a year earlier.... | |
| Willie Nelson, the star who wasn't supposed to be For old stuff, my favorite is Red Headed Stranger (1978) -- elegant in its own, very spare way; lyrical and moving. A great and pure Western album. For "newer" stuff, I think Across The Borderline (1993) has many terrific tunes on it, with covers ... | |
| iTunes Ripping - Strange Digital Artifacts Now that you've determined the problem happens on your laptop and not your tower, you could also see if it's limited to one specific user account on the laptop. Try ripping the CD from another account, even if you have to create a new one for this... |
