Downsampling Apple Lossless files for iPod
Thanks again all. Sfar, worked like a charm. Thanks for saving me several hours! ;) 
Your last concert was to see who and when?
Hey Acman3 – It was a strange experience...I hadn't seen him live in about 6-7 years, and his condition has worsened significantly since then. It was hard to not be a bit distracted; at times he looked catatonic standing on the stage with his arms... 
Downsampling Apple Lossless files for iPod
Thanks guys - very helpful...Albert that worked just fine - I just wonder if some of the other solutions here will let you target duped folder rather than both formats appearing in sequence in iTunes...but at least I know that method works. Thanks... 
Your last concert was to see who and when?
Been very lucky this year - Maurizio Pollini at Carnegie Hall on Friday, Tom Harrell at the Vanguard early last week, Lizz Wright at the Highline Ballroom earlier in the month. Dave Weckl, Victor Wooten, Cecile McLoren Savant and U2 in the Summer;... 
Reasonably priced power protection?
2nd the Brickwall. Well built and doesn't get in the way sonically in my experience. 
Most achingly-beautiful music
Saw Tom Harrell at the Vanguard this week...he played a song called "Journey to the Stars" (duet - piano and trumpet). It was as close as I've experienced to hearing a person's spirit, rather than his body, playing music...it was as though he disa... 
Amplification for Shahinian Obelisks?
I agree with Mapman...I am experiencing wonderful synergy with my Class D Audio 470C (300 W/ 8 ohms) and my Ohm 2/2000s, which are current-hungry beasts as well. The question is can you find an all-in-one integrated with DAC that has the power to ... 
Amplification for Shahinian Obelisks?
Gotcha Ja-zz - would help to know where "here" is. Of the brands you mention, I'd give Plinius the nod. Some info about the pairing of Obelisks with an older Plinius integrated here. http://forums.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?vevol&1263574199 
Jazz for aficionados
Thanks so much for the link Frogman. Just love Gojkovic's tone & willingness to experiment. I find myself gravitating toward Europeans in general lately in my listening...just recently got hooked on Borje Fredriksson and Jonas Kullhammar after... 
Jazz for aficionados
Going to see Tom Harrell this week at the Vanguard..."These Rooms" with him and Jim Hall is a wonderful album. And speaking of trumpet - just listening to Dusko Gojkovic "Trumpets & Rhythm Unit...fantastic. He's relatively new to me...really e... 
Amplification for Shahinian Obelisks?
Dan Wright cut his teeth building mods for other manufacturer's products, but branched off to build his own in 2003. His products are stellar - musical and built like a tank. Here's a review of the integrated: http://www.theabsolutesound.com/artic... 
Amplification for Shahinian Obelisks?
Sorry, I totally forgot about the Modwright KWI 200...that might be the direction I'd head... 
Amplification for Shahinian Obelisks?
Bryston 135 plays in that arena, with a ton of current delivery (which the Shahinians need, in spades). Haven't heard that model myself, but their products are generally well regarded, and they have a fabulous service and a 20(!) year warrantee. h... 
The OHM Speakers and Class D amp thread
Scm - I have left it on since I first plugged in. Will run it for a couple of more days while I'm out of town & see if it makes a difference. I continue to be impressed by the depth and imaging - especially between the speakers, which can be a...
