| Stands for Reference 3A MM deCapo-i Nick, I understood and agree with what you were saying. Chances are if that is what they are recommending at Divergent, more people will be happy with the speakers a little higher than the way I have them. As always, it all depends... | |
| Stands for Reference 3A MM deCapo-i Well, Nickway's summary of Audiocircle threads is interesting, and different from the setup I ended up with. When messing around with speaker height, I definitely preferred my ears at or above tweeter height. I thought the sound was smoother and m... | |
| Stands for Reference 3A MM deCapo-i The tweeters should be about ear height. The center of the deCapo tweeters are a touch over 12" from the bottom of the cabinet. My stands are 25 1/2" high, which gives the right height for me sitting in my usual listening seat. With the deCapos, I... | |
| airport express with i-tunes Airtunes is a digital signal. iTunes converts everything to Apple Lossless compressed format for wireless streaming to Airport Express (so AE will only work with iTunes). AE decodes the signal and has a built in DAC, about the same quality as the ... | |
| What do I look for in used records? Look to see that they have a little hole in the middle. | |
| Apple Lossless Wirelessly Dimitri, when the AL song file is on the laptop with iTunes, there is no problem streaming the output wirelessly to AX, so the server-laptop connection is the problem. I have a feeling I may end up with a hard drive connected to my laptop, even th... | |
| iPod to DAC Connection Bruce_1, Did you make progress on getting your digital music through your router to Airport Express? Thanks for posting the limitation of Mac iTunes (I assume) downloads not being playable through third party gear like Squeezebox. Have any idea wh... | |
| Apple Airport Express Very Cool Product Kenny, Are you running digital out of the Airport Express into a DAC, as you asked about earlier? If so, how do you like the results? | |
| Backup music from IPOD to PC or Mac I purchased PodWorks. Haven't used it much, but it seems to work well, has nice features and is easy to use. Don't have any reason to suspect there would be sound quality issues. PodWorks can export iPod music to new folders by artist or album on ... | |
| Brands that require dealer for service How about Bryston? Anyone know if they deal directly with the customer? | |
| Occasional Country Music Super Groups Yes, good to see some coverage of smart country music on these pages once in a while. | |
| Stillpoints or Audio Points, has anyone compared Stehno, I'm sure I'm in the vast middle ground in terms of experience fooling around with different vibration control techniques. I don't claim special authority on this topic. If my post came off that way, it's only because I want to be specific ... | |
| Stillpoints or Audio Points, has anyone compared The lightning rod analogy is very inappropriate. The whole assertion, implied here so often, that the earth beneath our feet serves as a universal "ground" for all mechanical vibration the way it serves as a ground for electrical charge, is seduct... | |
| RIP Ray Charles Tds34, I had stopped buying Ray Charles before I owned a CD player, so I don't really know what's out there, and I can't speak to the part of your question about good recordings. The man was so prolific and covered so much ground that I think gett... | |
| RIP Ray Charles Many great representatives of American popular music have passed away in recent years, but none meant more to me than Ray Charles. I can't imagine anyone who represents American music more completely than Ray. But he was no mere cataloger or chron... |
