| External firewire hard drive to go with Mac Mini. Magfan - I found out that Fantom uses Micronet drives 7k rpm. Firewire is only 400 (same on my Mac Mini). Firewire 800 might have some use for file transfer but not for the music server since Firewire 400 is already about 300 times faster that CD ... | |
| any audiophile guitarists out there? Grimace - It was not bad idea at all - if it worked. Also, at age of 13 your system was perhaps not very expensive. | |
| Apple TV sound quality as a transport Macallan7 - CD can be ripped as data using programs like MAX (for Mac) or EAC (for PC). CDP cannot do it working real time and has to skip over piece of unreadable (wrong checksum) data. It is of course much worse with used or scratched CDs. I hav... | |
| The Sound or Music "just that there is so much to hear and enjoy in music that goes beyond sound quality."Kefir - Yes, but good sound doesn't take anything away. It enhances overall experience - at least for me. | |
| any audiophile guitarists out there? 6550c - Epiphone is not made in China but in Korea (big difference) in largest instrument factory in the world. Samick has factories in Korea and Indonesia. I've never suggested same quality as Gibson but it is pretty good. If it is enough for Epi... | |
| any audiophile guitarists out there? "I would suggest either more lessons and/or as I stated above, maybe a different guitar."I've tried to blame it on guitar (I have 4) but the truth is I have to spend more time practicing. It is also possible that I don't have ears for music and wh... | |
| any audiophile guitarists out there? Grimace - Using home system for guitar playing is not a very good idea. Few of my friends damaged their systems that way. In addition nothing can sound as sweet as good crunch of tube guitar amp that Dpac996 is talking about. I can get some of thi... | |
| any audiophile guitarists out there? I'm tired of not making progress. I hope to find more time and patience (read: attention span) and move slowly forward. I have hard time to concentrate and to remember musical phrase but it will come with practice. I played more when I was young b... | |
| any audiophile guitarists out there? I might a beginner but not to instrument itself. I can appreciate presence, projection, sustain, separation and tone of good guitar. My lessons were to play classical notation but I've played guitar for a long time (on and off). As for strings - t... | |
| any audiophile guitarists out there? Daveyf - Martin is probably the only one that is worth more used than I paid for new - everything else would be a loss. To me Martin and Les Paul (Silvertone made by Samick is decent) are part of history and I really enjoy having them. Strats, hav... | |
| Toddler-Friendly Budget Speakers? The only way I know of making childproof home is to make sure they cannot get in. If you anticipate being "visited" - better get rid of stands and anchor heavy objects to walls. Attaching speakers to wall or ceiling with straps might be good solut... | |
| any audiophile guitarists out there? Daveyf - I started with classical Cordoba R40 and took some lessons then bought Martin D15 to follow by used cheap Silvertone copy of Les Paul (changing pickups to Seymour Duncan Jazz and JB) plus mentioned Valvetronix and finally Ibanez Soungear ... | |
| any audiophile guitarists out there? Daveyf - Before I realize I have no talent for music I bought 30W VOX Valvetronic. It uses DSP processing to mimic sound of different cabinets but also effects. Non-distorted effects are pretty good but distorted are horrible. At the time I consid... | |
| any audiophile guitarists out there? It is Roland Microcube. Rowland makes only audio gear. | |
| longevity of good speakers "The fluid in tweeters may dry out" - or midrange (my Hyperions have ferrofluid damping in 6 1/2" midrange).I believe fluid can be replaced. |
