| Best Genesis Album - your opinions please. Oops. My apologies. I misread your post and didn't understand the actual context of your question.My top 3 recordings are Tresspass, Selling England and Trick of the Tail. I've listened to all of them within the past 2 months, and Tresspass just t... | |
| Best Genesis Album - your opinions please. Ack! Duke?I'd have to suggest some of the older, *better* Genesis recodings such as Tresspass (their first and my favorite), Selling England by the Pound, Foxtrot and Nursery Crimes - all are great. The post Peter Gabriel era recordings are good (... | |
| Apple Lossless Wirelessly Before you jump to 802.11g, check to see if you're using a heavily trafficked channel. In my area there are a number of folks using wireless, and all are on channel 11, which is the default for many devices. I switched my access point from channel... | |
| Making a PC into a digital CD Jukebox Try a Squeezebox from Slim Devices. You can use either lossless (WAV, FLAC, AIFF) or lossy (MP3, AAC) music formats, and the sound quality can range from decent using the unit's analog outs to excellent if you use the digital out with an external ... | |
| Getting more from my DAC Oops. My mistake for misreading. You indicated that you are using Toslink for your digital connection and not RS audio cable. Ignore my previous post :-}.However, introducing a better IC between your DAC and amp should definitely yield an improved... | |
| Getting more from my DAC My 2 cents. Ez2Hear is correct in his suggestion of introducing a better cable into the system. I tried cheap RS audio cables between my DAC and transport and the sound was absolutely dreadful. I assembled a good quality 75 ohm cable from Belden 1... | |
| How many years before MP3 becomes king? The Apple lossless format is still 6x the size of a typical 128 kbps MP3 or AAC file. In what ways is it better for the iPod user? | |
| Experiences with SlimDevices Squeezebox. I also use a Squeezebox driving an external DAC (conrad johnson DA2-B) and the sound I get is most certainly cleaner and more resolving than with any of the transports I've tried. The digital PCM output is excellent quality and drives the DAC beau... | |
| Moving from ProAc's to....... I also have 2.5's driven with Conrad Johnson amps and the sound is equally magical for me. I don't have much experience with the new Response series, but if its like the older line (2.5 vs 1.5) then the differences will be a dramatically improved ... | |
| CJ Preamp LS17/LS 16 Owners Why Did You Sell Yours I'm still happily using my 17LS. No plans to get rid of it :-) | |
| SACD 2...for those who have not heard Actually, I think Budrew has it right. Sony is searching for a market in which they can reap licensing benefits from their technologies. SACD is nothing more than that, and the bet was that more than just audiophiles would take to the format. To t... | |
| Turntable - Where do I start ? There are a number of reasonable turntable/cart combinations available new for $300-$1000 that will do a very good job of making music. While the $2-3k budget you're looking at will definitely move you into a higher quality sound (and Twl's sugges... | |
| Full range box floorstanding recommend $3-5K range In addition to the suggestions above, you might want to take a look at ProAc Response 2.5's (new) or 3.8's (used). | |
| Exact Audio Copy program and Windows XP Home? I've used it for about a year now on Windows 2000 and its an excellent piece of software. When combined with the LAME MP3 encoder, its an unbeatable package for producing high quality music files. Use it and enjoy it :) | |
| REGA 3- Sounds better with dust cover ON of OFF ? I've never heard a turntable setup that didn't sound markedly better with the dust cover off, although on my system I'm not sure I hear a real difference between the cover tilted up and completely removed. Many years ago, the conventional wisdom h... |
