| Do Macs Play FLAC? iTune will not store FLAC files. It will store AIFF and ALAC files. So, either your FLAC file was converted to one of the above formats or you have a program such as Pure Music that is using iTunes as a library but not storing the actual file in i... | |
| FLAC On A Mac Hi Richard. I do not know your Marantz unit well. If it has a USB input you are all set. Channel D's Pure Music program is designed specifically for Mac computers. It utilizes iTunes as the library and will play pretty much any file available. But... | |
| Vinyl vs high def audio i.e. 24bit / 96 or 192khz I have it all. Vinyl is euphoric like tubes, it is tradition, it is a collectors dream, and lastly it is tweaky. There is so much you can do with it. What are you going to do with zeros ones. Vinyl once set up is really just a little more work tha... | |
| Ribbon midrange pros and cons I live just 40 miles from where Apogee was.I suspect they were not prevalent on the west coast because they were very expensive to ship and very fragile which would have added a lot to the cost.Scintillas destroyed more amplifiers than any other s... | |
| What is the working principle of the Loudspeaker? Dynamic loudspeakers are just linear motors sized and shaped to produce certain frequencies.Planar magnetics have the voice coil in the diaphragm.Ribbon speakers, the ribbon itself is the voice coil.Electrostatic speakers have no voice coil or mag... | |
| speaker repair Wow, you would think Wilson would have used better materials. Did you have them in the sun? Call the people at Parts Express. They are closely related to Daytonand I do believe they have a driver remanufacturing program. Also, why not call Wilson ... | |
| Will a subwoofer add depth and clarity to my system, or just bass? raul I'm having a hard time understanding you, just the language barrier.You can get perfect bass response at the listening position but it requires digital room control to do it. Getting reasonably smooth response through out the room requires a ... | |
| Ribbon midrange pros and cons Having owned Apogee Divas for 16 years I feel a bit qualified to talk about this. There are very few true ribbon speakers on the market. Mostly you see small ribbon tweeters and for many of the you can get replacement ribbons. Magnepan has a tweet... | |
| Does removing anti-skating really improve sound? Records do not have a steady state velocity unless you are playing a sine wave at constant volume. The higher the velocity the louder the volume the lower the velocity the lower volume. Obviously The overall velocity increases with groove speed. A... | |
| Power Amp advice Mark, this is one piece of audio equipment that is relatively safe to buy used. You have a tube preamp which will give you that tube sound regardless of the amp you use. In your case you want a SS amp with as much power as you can get like a newer... | |
| Does removing anti-skating really improve sound? Oh Lewm, The speed of the stylus through the groove depends on the groove velocity not the speed of the record. The higher the modulation and frequency the faster the velocity. The stylus is traveling a longer distance in a given period of time | |
| Does removing anti-skating really improve sound? ct0517 try it with a test record. Don't break the wires! | |
| Does removing anti-skating really improve sound? Lewm only in a straight line. If you rub your finger against smooth glass at a specific speed and pressure you will encounter a certain amount of friction. If you rub your finger across 100 grit sandpaper at the same force and speed you will encou... | |
| Dual vs single sub phusis you are right. A point source system can be wonderful with two subs set up correctly. A line source requires four subs in most rooms (wall up to 16 feet). Now I am going to make some people mad. Distributing the subs through out the room ma... | |
| Benchmark AHB2 Amplifier, opinions and competition Very popular Amp. Check with Benchmark when they will have another run made.
