| Beatles USB via Squeezebox Touch I use lossless .wav. The sound quality is top notch. I would not worry about that. That's assuming the conversion software works properly as one would expect.The location of the source music files on the computer is also not a factor in sound qual... | |
| Why the obsession with the lowest octave The reason most hifi home audio gear has almost always been spec'ed from 20hz-20000khz is because that covers the useful range in the audio spectrum that people can generally hear.Individual hearing ability varies though. Many cannot hear this ful... | |
| Beatles USB via Squeezebox Touch Probably a good idea to copy the files to disk and play from there, similar to ripping a CD, but should be much faster than ripping.That will save wear and tear on the source usb device. Better to store that away in a safe place. | |
| Beatles USB via Squeezebox Touch Hmm, I have no clue but I hope someone can help.Sounds like we've reached the day where a computer science degree may be required just to be able to play the music we buy in the store.Hey Pettyofficer, where are you?Maybe PO is right?Personally, m... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? "I guess when you find something that works so well, why change it?"I tend to agree.ICs, particularly used ones that can be resold easily without taking a loss, are relatively easy things to tinker with though if one gets the urge to try some diff... | |
| Why the obsession with the lowest octave I cared more about a clear high end when I started and when I was younger with younger ears.My first good speakers used Heil Air Motion Transformers to that end for better or for worse.I realized the importance of a quality and complete low end to... | |

| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Whoops, sorry.The correct name of the store on ebay I referenced above is "essentialhifitweak", not "Essential Audio Tweaks" as I indicated.http://stores.ebay.com/essentialhifitweakI have found their stufff to offer good value and their descriptio... | |

| Why the obsession with the lowest octave BTW, despite all appearances otherwise, let me make it clear that I am NOT obsessed with the lower octave.I prefer to call it "enamored"........ | |
| Why the obsession with the lowest octave "My idea of really bad low frequency is driving, then hearing some morons' thumping crap subs from five cars away at a stoplight, and being stuck till' the light turns green. "Yes, I agree. That IS the worst!!!!Some of the things I have heard in B... | |
| Why the obsession with the lowest octave "Imagine the impact of the tympani had you been sitting closer."I can only imagine, but I would propose that it is possible the impact could be less sitting closer if sitting on a more rigid floor or foundation. Its possible that being higher up a... | |
| Why the obsession with the lowest octave From Wikipedia:"A distortion is the alteration of the original shape (or other characteristic) of an object, image, sound, waveform or other form of information or representation."So if it is in the source but not heard, it is an alteration and ca... | |
| Why the obsession with the lowest octave "removal of the lowest source frequencies (requiring the greatest energy) from an upper bass driver and the main amplifier"That is usually a good thing and common with a good sub setup.Also true with good full range one box designs that are not un... |
