not familiar with your verizon setup but I use a Linksys cable modem with Comcast high speed internet and a Netgear Wireless N router along with 5-6 wireless clients on the network without any problem. The router is Wireless N but I do not have an...

External hard drives and sound quality
The biggest issue I see with networked storage is with backup times. I have almost 300Gb of music on my USB drive currently. It takes several hours to back all this up initially to a second attached USB drive. It would take many times longer than ... 
External hard drives and sound quality
Two different computer configurations can and may well sound different but guaranteed it is other factors in either the ripping process to disk or the D to A conversion process at play and not the location of the hard drive. I'll stand by that ass... 
Are scratch LPs part of the game ?
If they are not part of the game then why worry about them or take any preventive measures?They can be avoided but accidents happen and they are definitely part of the game ie they can happen if not careful and sometimes even if you are and often ... 
Are scratch LPs part of the game ?
"How often do you guys replace the inner sleeves ??"Seldom unless damaged or defective. I do not find most sleeves to be a problem if you handle the records and sleeves carefully.Sometimes I will replace cheap paper inner sleeves with better quali... 
External hard drives and sound quality
Bits are bits...no inherent difference in sound quality between internal and external drives.The thing that matters with a disk (other than storage capacity) is how fast data can be retrieved when needed and whether data can be retrieved off the d... 
Are scratch LPs part of the game ?
The answer is yes, its part of the game.Records are delicate. Careful handling is the best preventive medicine.Can you hear the scratches? Not all scratches are audible. Also sometime linear dirt smudgies and such resemble scratches but are not. T... 
An indoor FM tuner better than the Terk FM+?
Sure, just pop me an email and we can probably work something up.I have that and several other items that I am not using currently that I plan to put up for sale shortly when I have some time including a Musical Fidelity A3CR power amp, Carver c-6... 
An indoor FM tuner better than the Terk FM+?
I have a Godar. It works well but not better than others like Terk on some tuners and totally bombs on others. It seems to like analog tuners OK but it flat out does not work with digital tuners from what I see. Mine is sitting unused in favor of ... 
Can Mac/PC compete with High End CDT??
Madman?Freudian slip?That moniker may fit me better...I might have to change. After all I've dropped a few bucks on this stuff over the last few years.Oh well, at least I THINK what I hear sounds good......There was a very active thread here recen... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
The last song on cd1 of the box set "Cowabuunga: The Surf Box" is "Shoot That Curl" by Chris Montez. The last few minutes of this is ocean wave sound effects. These are something to hear on the OHMs. Close your eyes and turn the volume up a bit an... 
Ohm Walsh vs. Mirage OMD 28
supplementing a smaller pair of ohms with a sub is not a bad option either.I'll be interested in how well the mirages stack up. i think they both will sound very good but also quite different. 
Ohm Walsh vs. Mirage OMD 28
bran,have you discussed your room with john at ohm? there is no advantage to larger more expensive ohms over smaller unless room size considerations warrant it. the exception is the 5000 which has adjustments onboard to taylor the sound to roomsiz...
