| What music is best for life in a tiny box? Storage these days is compact and cheap: since you can afford some decent hardware, I should think you'd want to use media in lossless format like FLAC, not MP3. For the goods on the computer-based front end: computeraudiophile.com (though it is s... | |
| Has anyone tried the ayon Orion with zu? Well Scott, sounds like you would like to try something new, which is reason enough to change! I seem to recall that Zu shows with Leben, FWIW.John | |
| Is no preamp the best preamp of all? I had the opposite experience. Inserting an old Adcom pre I had in the garage seemed to be an improvement over the volume control of my PerfectWave DAC. I doubt there's a rule.John | |
| Has anyone tried the ayon Orion with zu? Call Zu. They're friendly guys who have tried a lot of amps with their speakers. I think there's a list on their site.J | |
| Chicks With Guitars Yes Richard, I agree it is unlikely that Carson's CD covers adversely impact her sales.Another GwG: Stacy Earle (yes, that Earle), esp. "Simple Gearle." (At risk of thread derailment, I thought of this one after picking up her brother's "Townes"; ... | |
| Chicks With Guitars Yes Richard, Neko deserves mention for her "Wayfaring."More in the GwG range:Cailin Cary, formerly of Whiskeytown: their "Faithless Street" is iconic alt country -- or as they say in Cackalcky, y'allternative. Caitlin's "While You Weren't Looking,... | |

I do not have the duplicate file problem, but the breaking up albums drives me crazy.Glad your foray int... | |
| Do powercords make a difference in sound? "Intrinsic" "extrinsic" "localization fallacy"This PC business always gets heavy, dudes. ;) | |
| Do powercords make a difference in sound? To the OP: Powercords do have noticeable and reliable effects: they noticeably and reliably start threads just like this one!Although I won't presume to say what you *should* do, I'll presume to say what you *will* do. If you stay in the hobby, yo... | |

| Why magic at 80 db? So between 80 to 85 is where I mainly listen. From a hearing protection standpoint, am I still at safe levels?According to this -- the first plausible link from a google search -- yes:http://www.hearnet.com/at_risk/risk_aboutloss.shtmlPersonally, ... | |
| Zu Druid MK IVs vs. Essences This does not quite answer your question, but have you considered the current Zu models, Omen Def and Soul Superfly? Zu does demos, b-stock, etc., that will bring you in at a price competitive with the models you are considering, and the Zu guys a... | |
| Can all headphones handle HIGH Volume levels? Yet another voice for sane volumes. At best, tinnitus is permanent irritant, and decreased hearing acuity -- to say nothing of impairment -- sucks. Blast phones (or speakers) and you'll pay a piper (that you won't even be able to hear very well) s... | |
