| I-Tunes-type software Zd542,My first thought is Mac, so OS-X. Of course then there's the version to worry about. I've read recently that there is an audio advantage to staying OS-X 1.6 or earlier.If I choose the dark side, then I'll be stuck with Windows 8 since I'd be... | |

| Rowland model 5 vs Threshold S500 series II Wayne,I can't comment on the Rowland Model 5, but I owned a Threshold S/500 II for several years. It started out driving my Apogee Stages and did so admirably- my first really high end amp. My system got bigger and more complex and the S/500 drove... | |
| Problem with Marantz SA-8260 Thanks for all the help, everyone. That's even more than I got from Marantz directly. | |
| Sound card recommendation Tstan7777,Yes, all I want is something to go between my phono preamp and computer to digitally record some records. Of the units you and Blindjim recommended, the M-Audio Mobile Pre or the E-Mu Tracker look to be closest to what I want. | |
| Sound card recommendation Blindjim & Tstan7777,Thanks for the responses. I have a laptop, so USB/ IEEE1394 is the way to go for me. The ideal sound card for me has RCA inputs, USB or IEEE1394 output and a good ADC. All I want to do is connect my preamp to the computer ... | |
| Confused by ICE applications Dave,Thanks for the report on JRDG equipment. I knew from past reviews that Jeff pays attention to things like case design (Stereophile made special note of it in their review of the Model 2). However, I've never been able to look into one of his ... | |
| Confused by ICE applications Magfan,The point you raised yesterday was the heart of my question. I'd seen the www.icepower... link and thought to myself: if everyone is using the same modules, won't the amps sound the same?Kijanki and Dcstep have a partial answer: the lower c... | |
| Music, sort of: replacement CD booklets I looked to eBay, and most everyone states shipping as $5. Most Amazon merchants state shipping as $3 for CDs and DVDs. Doesn't any recording company have customer service any longer? | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE Well, back in 2001 I said I'd hang on to my Apogee Stages forever. It's been almost that long, sixteen years. However, I'm going to sell them soon in a quest for more floor space. I'm simplifying and downsizing my system. | |

| Discography of JVC K2 discs? Good sounding and less expensive than the XRCD issues pretty much sums up my interest in the K2 discs. I've got several Miles Davis (Cookin', Relaxin', Steamin', Workin', ...and the Modern Jazz Giants), Bill Evans Sunday at the Village Vanguard, a... | |
| Need help from Pink Panther fans Jaybo, "The Pink Panther" is used at the beginning of all the Pink Panther cartoons, and sound bites of that song are used in most of the other cartoons as well. "Extinct Pink" is different.Joeylawn, yes, that's the cartoon. I think it's quite fun... | |
| Need help from Pink Panther fans Thanks, Jaybo. I had no idea IMDB had so much stuff. Unfortunately, only the composer is listed and Amazon.com has no recordings by Doug Goodwin. However, according to IMDB the following A-list players played the song:Ray Brown, Billy Byers, Pete ... |
