| User friendly playback software I fall into the old and stupid basket too.I find the Wiki instructions kind of fragmented, difficult to navigate and understand. Copying my CD's (I think Jriver calls it ripping) seems to be odd. I actually copy my CD's using itunes in lossless, s... | |
| User friendly playback software Behemot; thanks for the thread this morning. I was messing with Jriver last weekend for the zillionth time. As much as I dig the sound quality, there has got to be an easier way.Nothing is easy with that program.-John | |
| Kanye West - Grammy comment, re Beck I havn't watched the Grammys in 25 years +,(hell, I don't even know if it's been on that long) since I can't stand Hollywood and the BS. But the fact that I missed Annie Lennox sing her little fanny off is a bummer. I reckon the show is supposed t... | |
| Tidal vs. Spotify I have been contemplating trying either Tidal or Spotify but have yet to do so.I listen to Radio Paradise 90% of the time when not listening to my own tunes. Their music quality never ceases to amaze me. Can Tidal & Spotify stand up the RP's q... | |
| Amplifier Cooling Suggestions? I used to run a computer muffin fan as well. 1/2 speed as noted above. I always had it set so it exhausted the heat from above, not actually blew on the amp. Reason was so it was a convection type heat removal. It would bring the cool air up from ... | |
| Hey Elizabeth Where you be?? Brownsfan; Ich glaube das einige lebens sind mehr tot als den toten selbst. Ja sicher in California!4 years of German 42 years ago and thats the best I could muster.Hopefully Elizabeth comes back. I enjoy her candor. -John | |
| Krell Restoration I sent s KSA200 to Krell for repair from California and it was not good. I had the factory dbl box and FedX still damaged the unit enough to scrap it. I ended up with a new FBB300cx out of the deal but I had to kick down the money to make up for t... | |
| Best Cartridge for technics sl1200mk2 I have the same table and went through 3 cartridges before settling on the Shelter 501. Used a Shure of some sort, Sumiko Blue Point & Grado Ref Platinum before settling on a Shelter 501. Also used a Grado preamp, Lehman Black Cube before sett... | |
| Goldpoint XLR switch I have a Goldpoint switch with RCA's and it works wonderfully. I cannot discern the difference using it or not. I had to buy one since I ran out of single ended inputs on my system. I also have used Cardas XLR>RCA adapters and they work very go... | |
| Thinking of buying Infinity IRS Betas I bought a pair of high energy EMIT speakers from the Ebay link above. The seller is good and he has a ton of Infinity items. They were new as noted. These were for the Renaissance 90 speakers I own. Bought them as spares just in case.Good luck, John | |
| Best live albums from 1970's college days I gotta toss in Rick Wakemans' "Journey to the Center of the Earth". I scored a MFSL copy years ago and the fidelity is outstanding. I can hear the orchestra members accidently hitting their bows, a couple of pages turning, even a cough or two. It... | |
| In Awe of "Yessongs" Forty Years Later This is an awesome post. Describes what the whole music thing is all about. Hey Foster, just think how cool it's going to sound on your 70th, 80th (and hopefully beyond) birthday. -John | |
| Problem with NPR I am glad you brought this up. I listen to Radio Paradise almost every day. The fidelity is astounding. I emailed them asking what do they do to make it sound so darn good. Bill was nice enough to respond. He uses hi res digital lossless music alm... | |
| See what Country song was 1 on the day you were b "Heartbreak Hotel", by Elvis. My dad said I was a mistake. | |
| JRiver 19 playback By Jove I think I've got it.Had a royal pain getting the USB2 driver to install for the Benchmark DAC. For others; You must activate the USB 2 on the DAC in order to install the driver on a Win 7 PC as per the instructions. Problem is the USB 4X w... |
