| Quiet hard drive I'd be very surprised if you regretted the move, Albert. Now question that one can get good digital sonics, and the convenience is an absolute delight. The music-dedicated Mach2Music is an option worth considering for a Mini http://www.mach2music.... | |
| Fritz Carbon 7 vs. Tyler Linbrook Sig. Monitor Does it mean the Carbon 7 could be considered too polite or "boring" sounding by some people?I did not mean to insinuate boring at all, jdec. As Kclone suggests, I meant musical and non-fatiguing. I'm very sensitive to edgy highs (meaning I find a... | |
| Fritz Carbon 7 vs. Tyler Linbrook Sig. Monitor Have not heard the Tyler's, but the description of the Carbon's as "full (for a monitor), warm, and easy to listen to" sounds right. Very nice speakers for the $ (and for considerably more), and Fritz is a good guy.You might also add Selah's flags... | |
| MacBook Pro or Mac Mini as music server 1. If you can budget it, the Mac2Music for 500-600 more than the stock Mini seems to me good value by the standards of this hobby. Had it been available when I bought my Macbook, I would have done it. You will need to budget more for storage, I th... | |
| AXPONA 2011 Atlanta reports/thoughts? I'm with Audioguy on the attitude thing. Lots of good kit out there, and easy to avoid jerks. Last year at RMAF, someone high up -- very high up -- in Van Alstine abruptly and rudely took my music off in the middle of a song, after one of the peop... | |
| MacBook Pro or Mac Mini as music server Btw, might be very worth looking at a Mac2Music modified Mini, if it's in your budget. John | |
| Favorite version of Grateful Dead's Aiko Aiko? It is the N'awlins classic. The Neville Bros. cover it with a version "Brother John" -- excellent. For Jer and the Boys, surely there must be a version on one of "Dick's Picks." John | |
| small companies making today's best products Best reason to "buy small": guys like Duke, designer-manufacturers who will take the time to work with you. Since everybody agrees that both the corporate and cottage models can produce good kit, why not work with an actual person? I've never spok... | |

| A New Believer Now maybe you are better versed in the pathetic, absurd drivel that passes for debate and truth on this site.Rok2id, do you think you would you find other sites more congenial ? You've certainly given audiogon a chance, with 4 threads and 28 answe... | |
| Best CD I've heard so far 2011......... Jax, I'll get the Jenny's live. Have all of the Be Goods. Sounds like I like the solo Frazey better than you; I admit it's not "in heavy rotation," but I enjoy it quire a bit.I'm enjoying Cowboy Junkies' Vic Chesnutt cover album "Demons" (favorite... | |
| The Hub: Big speakers with lots of Drivers? That's weird, Veridian; my penis has *grown* since I got big speakers! ;)I wasn't really sure about Elizabeth's (who I think runs the pretty large Maggie 3.6s) point: is it that big box/many driver speakers sound bad, or that they should be dismis... | |
| Best CD I've heard so far 2011......... My recent favorite in the folk gals genre is Po' Girl. "Follow you Bliss" may be 2011. It's good, though I prefer the older "Vagabond Lullabies," and "Home to You."The Wailin' Jenny's have had serious lineup changes, no? Has any of their later stu... | |

| Which monitors for my tube system in a large room? I definitely hear you about the Gallo's, Price. They look a lot better black on black, but still . . . . John |
