| 21 year old AV receiver - waiting for the end? @soix - great advice. Now I feel bad for telling my wife to remember to turn it off all the time. She was right after all! @erik_squires I'll shoot for those ten years! Maybe I could start a pool on when it dies? Gambling is probably against for... | |
| 21 year old AV receiver - waiting for the end? Thanks. I'm probably not going to put effort or money into it, but I can't help anthropomorphize it a bit - it has been faithful member of the household for two decades. | |
| Sound quality of shared iTunes library wireless Thanks Kijanki, I think I understand. I hear no difference at all. Please realize I am not using Airport or Apple TV. I have one Mac with my lossless files and it is sharing the files (not streaming) to other computers via iTunes sharing. | |
| Desktop speakers for mixing AND music? Lewinskih01, my apologies for not checking in here for so long. I think Zd542 explains things better than I ever could. For what it's worth, I went through quite a saga. I ordered Tannoy Reveal 402s, but they had a buzz or hum that Tannoy actually... | |
| Desktop speakers for mixing AND music? Ddd1 I agree and with that acknowledgement from Tannoy I am going to get the Reveals. It is so rare for a company to step up and admit anything these days, even when it is clearly the right thing to do to build customer trust. Lewinskih, thanks fo... | |
| Sound quality of shared iTunes library wireless Thanks Mceljo. I spent the better part of yesterday ABing the same tracks and I could not tell either, but then I wonder if I lack the sommelier-esque listening palate of so many audiophiles - not to mention an endless supply of clever adjectives,... | |
| Desktop speakers for mixing AND music? FYI, apparently Tannoy has acknowledged and addressed the problem with the hissing/buzzing issue in their Reveal monitors:http://support.tannoy.com/entries/60922977-Reveal-502-802-My-monitor-emits-a-static-electrical-buzzing-noise-What-do-I-do- | |
| Desktop speakers for mixing AND music? Ddd1, that must be frustrating. These were by far my favorite monitors, but your story and others is a problem. You are all set now with your HS8's right? The HS5's I listened to seemed quite extreme in focusing on mids and seems designed strictly... | |
| Desktop speakers for mixing AND music? Hi everyone, thanks for all the advice. I think active is the way to go. I was at a Guitar Center and was able to listen to quite a few of the speakers recommended here. The Adams were amazing, but way above my price... Very sad. I liked the KRK, ... | |
| iMac + what DAC to exceed my Rotel CD player? Thanks everyone. I think what I learned is... I need to learn more. Time to study up. | |
| iMac + what DAC to exceed my Rotel CD player? Thanks everyone. Too many choices! I guess that's a good thing. I might check out the Music Fidelity V-DAC, but want to do more studying.Onemug, okay, I won't argue with you. I guess I associate audiophile with a bigger budget than I have put out,... | |
| Favorite H H Scott Tube Integrated Amplifier Well I did it and despite warnings of doom, the results were fantastic. I had my Scott 222 worked on by Ryan at http://www.hotglassaudio.com/. Like Craig at Nosvalves, Ryan uses the right kind of replacement parts and his whole approach is to get ... | |
| Recommendation for Computer/Digital Alas, I am in the midst of big bucks home rennovation with no $$$ end in sight and it seems like all the worthwhile USB DACS are 1k - 2k or more. Originally I though a modded SB would be the way to go, but there are a few things that keep me from ... | |
| Favorite H H Scott Tube Integrated Amplifier Will do. I'll let you know about everything!I agree about the budget issues. Before I found my Scott I thought I had to spend thousands and thousands for great sound and I indeed spent thousands and thousands for nice, but not entirely satisfying ... | |
| Recommendation for Computer/Digital Hi Ckorody,Yes, I just discovered the inability of .wav files to contain metadata. Good thing I found out before ripping all my CD's! :-) One thing confuses me - I do have a few CD's ripped into iTunes as wavs (I have iTunes set to import as wav) ... |
