| Is Itunes OK to rip CD's to AIFF? Another few questions, Steve, after I looked at your link: http://forum.dbpoweramp.com/showthread.php?t=17274. 1) Is there any way to get the Teac CD-224E in an external holder and plug it in via USB to any computer? 2) Any idea if the CD-224's li... | |
| Is Itunes OK to rip CD's to AIFF? Steve, thanks for helping out. I haven't run the test that Paulofbrecht did but I'll certainly try it too. I'm afraid I'll have the same result. Oh, boy, and I've ripped thousands of CD's in Itunes with error correction on. But my goal is still to... | |
| Is Itunes OK to rip CD's to AIFF? Thanks for all the help. How do you tell if a CDROM drive error correction capability. And would this apply if I'm using a PC? For CDROM I'm mostly using a SONY DRX-810UL. I went to the dBpoweramp page and saw support for Apple lossless but no sup... | |
| Ideas re Spectron mated to Joule-Electra Thanks for all the help. The Ayer is beyond my budget (upper limit roughly about 5k for a preamp). For those with the mono blocks, are you just using 2 Musician III Mk2's? Or is there some other model I'm not familiar with? Did you ever set up you... | |
| Compared Spectron to Sanders Magtech 4 Mags 3.6? Thanks, Michael (Sufentanil). Good advice, especially about buying gear used and seeing how it works. Just based on what I've learned on Audiogon, I'm pretty much down to the Sanders and the Spectron (from a huge list). Winnowing down that list ha... | |
| Sanders Magtech Amp or Bryston 4B-SST2 4 Mags 3.6 Another question: small speaker and stereo companies seem to come and go. Bryston seems to be very well established. I could be wrong but Sanders and Spectronic seem much smaller. Should I worry that in ten years or so, if the amp breaks, I may no... | |
| Sanders Magtech Amp or Bryston 4B-SST2 4 Mags 3.6 Thanks for all the posts. Any thoughts on the Sanders Magtech vs. the Spectronic Musicians III Mark 2? See the specs at http://www.spectronaudio.com/musicianIII.htm. The Spectronics seems to be quite an amazing amp and is currently on sale via dir... | |
| Which Bel Canto or Mac SS amp works w Mag 3.6? Have you heard the W4S? I just found out about them from a friend here in Santa Barbara and it turns out that he knows the people just North of here who make it. He's keen on the W4S as well. But doesn't know if it it'll work well with the Mags. T... | |
| Sanders Magtech Amp or Bryston 4B-SST2 4 Mags 3.6 Thanks for all your responses. Here's part of a note I sent Riley04: Yes, I've heard the 1.7's and 3.6's at the closest dealer. Note, Magnepan has a funny relationship with dealers (since I know an upscale stereo store owner who related his experi... | |
| Sanders Magtech Amp or Bryston 4B-SST2 4 Mags 3.6 I'm new to Audiogon so excuse me for infringing on any rules, but to me one of the great things about Audiogon is to do research before one makes a decision. I agree, in a perfect world, I would have a stereo dealer in my town who would let me bor... | |
| Is my room OK for Magneplanar 3.6's Thanks again for all the help. At the dealer I heard the Mags 1.7 and 3.6 in a room about the size of my room (but I have more walls surfaces). I sat where I would sit in my room, and I had the speakers separated as if they were in my room. Maybe ... | |
| Is my room OK for Magneplanar 3.6's No, unfortunately this is the only space I have to work with and it's where I listen to 90% of music when I'm home. | |
| Is my room OK for Magneplanar 3.6's Thanks for all the comments. I just want to make clear -- and this may change opinions, so please comment -- but the room is not square. It has seven wall surfaces and the back of the left Mag would be facing three angled wall surfaces, one 3 feet... | |
| Is my room OK for Magneplanar 3.6's I had ADS 810's in there before. Sounded fairly good. Then I put in Gallo Micro Ti's with a Gallo TR3 sub and that sounds also fairly good. The other speaker I was considering -- and clearly a whole different experience - was either a B&W CM8,... | |
| Does a tube preamp warm up sound of SS amp? Ckoffend or others, thanks for all the help. What do you think is a warmer sounding amp that will give me enough power (at least 400 watts/channel into 4 ohms)? Also, any thoughts on the Audio Research LS5 MKII Tube Preamp? |
