Music Download Purchases: What level of Fidelity?
Thanks, this will help me get some perspective on what they're offering. What's bugging me in part is that if I buy and build a library of music from them, then I will just have to pay full price again when I want SACD or DVD-A files. This is wron... 
Opinions On Ampzilla Trinaural Processor?
Eldartford:It doesn't look like the Trinaural processes a signal in quite the digitized way that some other approaches do.Here is a quote from the information page:"...Most importantly, the Trinaural Processor is a linear analog device with no dig... 
Opinions On Ampzilla Trinaural Processor?
It occurs to me to ask/add:I wonder how this device does with a phonograph's analog 2-channel signal? Jason focused on discussing the CD-signal from his system, so we know that side of things a bit. But the phono sound I wonder about. 
Is it possible to shield unshielded speakers?
Is that really all it takes? Boy, I guess I was worried about not-much. I can't afford to lose my expensive equipment, but if all I have to do is separate things by a foot (or 2, for good measure) then that will be excellent. 
Is it possible to shield unshielded speakers?
I have the same question that Litsa123 had last month, only modified a little. I have an older non-shielded floor-standing single speaker that I picked up used. To me, it's a quality speaker (B+W DM640) and I wish to do an experiment and use it as... 
Opinions On Ampzilla Trinaural Processor?
Jasonalanpowell:Thanks for the further report. It seems to me there has been a scarcity of reports on the TRI on the net, so it's good to read some first-hand impressions.I'm pretty confused as to what I will buy when I, like you, make my transiti...

Opinions On Ampzilla Trinaural Processor?
I'm glad to get such a detailed response so quickly. I also have known about this thing for some months, but when I went to look for extended discussion of it here on Audiogon, there didn't seem to be any.The basic question I'll have for you going... 
Can I use an 'Integrated Amp' as just an Amp?
Thanks for the interesting answers. I have a Delta 90.2 Arcam 2-Channel Integrated Amp. I can't recall if it's late 80s or early 90s. It has no remote, and is 70 wpc. Overall, I've been quite pleased with it. It has a "direct" button which I think... 
Can I use an 'Integrated Amp' as just an Amp?
The Integrated that I already own does not have amp-in jacks nor the sort of u-shaped connector you describe. However, generally I will just pretend that one of the 'in' jacks (such as tape or CD or tuner) is from a pre-amp. Voila, I have my pre-a... 
Best female vocals on CD
I've always enjoyed Roberta Flack's First Take (her first album) but this is purely a musical opinion. I have no idea as to how the recording quality stacks up. In fact, I suspect it's not that great, I was just listening to it and there's an awfu...
