| most musical DAC under 1k? Rega's DAC is the best $1k and under DAC that I've heard. I haven't heard every single one, but I've easily heard my fair share. Everyone's ears and idea of "musical" are different.If you've got a Rega integrated and turntable, I'm pretty sure you... | |
| How Long Ago Since You Cried Listening To Music? Thanks Sebrof. Exactly what I was thinking, yet more articulate and nicer too.Just because I don't cry to music or movies, or some other type of entertainment that makes others cry doesn't mean I'm some emotionless/soul-less douche bag that's not ... | |
| Ipod Server-Why not? I'd love to go high-res, but there's little if anything I listen available above redbook. If the OP is in the same boat, it wouldn't make much sense to up the budget for something that isn't there. And realistically speaking, I'm pretty sure mains... | |
| Ipod Server-Why not? I tried the Wadia dock (not the new one) and found it ergonomically inept. Undocking and reducing because it would lose the digital signal, click wheel issues, having to use the click wheel, etc. Just a real PITA.I thought about using my laptop, b... | |
| Bryston BDP1- loading problem Another recommendation to post over at the Bryston Circle in Audio Circle. James Tanner (Bryston part owner/VP) is the moderator and answers a lot of questions. If he can't answer it, he brings it to engineering.James is truly a great guy to deal ... | |
| Terrible/Inappopriate songs ... "Thank You" from Led Zeppelin II. Disliked it the first time I heard it, and it gets worse and worse every time I hear it. For some strange reason, a local radio station has been playing it frequently.And it just doesn't fit with the rest of the a... | |
| iTunes problems I don't have much classical, but I had a few albums of various genres that wouldn't play in order too. No matter what I did, there was always a random track that was first in sort lists. After a little while, I somehow stumbled onto this - Highlig... | |
| Apple TV ethernet wired server I have my gen 1 ATV connected to my TV via HDMI and audio via toslink without any issues. | |
| All Amps Sound the Same.... There's always been the camp that believes all well designed amps sound the same, so long as they're not clipping. My question has always been - define "well designed." What's the cut-off point of well designed vs crap? Is entry level NAD level st... | |
| How Long Ago Since You Cried Listening To Music? "If your system doesn't make you cry, you're not an audiophile."I'm not an audiophile. I have no problems accepting that. | |
| If you had 6K to build a system with used gear? I'd start with a Naim Uniti, as it has everything in one box (CD, DAC, streamer, FM and Internet tuner) and sounds great, and not just great for a 'receiver.'Depending on room size, tastes, and second hand prices - Totem Arro or Sttaf, Vandersteen... | |
| Do you buy new equipment because you are bored When I want to hear something new, I drop by a local dealer-friend's place. I've given them enough business where I don't feel like I'm wasting their time and neither do they.My system is at a point where if I change a component, it'll cost far mo... | |
| Hurricane Irene Trejela,Priceless regarding the sprinklers. Truth is stranger than fiction, and funnier too. Glad to see everything's ok in your neck of the woods. | |
| Hurricane Irene In the whole grand scheme of things, no one can control the weather nor the majority of what it'll destroy.The most important thing is how everyone acts in response to it. Hopefully the powers that be will handle everything promptly, efficiently, ... | |
| Hurricane Irene Not everyone who'll decide to ride it out is an idiot. Some simply have no where to really evacuate to. There are shelters, but they' have their own set of issues. Did you hear about what happened at a lot of shelters in New Orleans?I live in Stam... |
