| Cocktail Audio X45 That's a pity. Seems odd they would make it so hard to import music to the hard drive. Adding new music to your local collection is a very important, and very basic, function for any player with storage. . Hope you figure it out. | |
| The best customer experience I've ever had...... This is the first time I've ever seen someone put trust in a car salesman on the same level as what they have for their doctor! | |
| Cocktail Audio X45 The manual I read has "scan music db" as a completely separate function from copy/move files. | |
| Cocktail Audio X45 Took a quick look at the owner's manual for the X45 and on page 107 there are instructions on how to copy or move files to/from the hard drive. That seems to address your question, but then I don't have a X45 so have no personal experience to pas... | |
| Need a modern Class A monoblock, preferably half or compact chassis Just a thought, but for $200 or $300 you could get well-reviewed Fosi or Aiyima amps that would let you listen to music immediately. Then you could take your time finding your ultimate solution. And when you do, you can easily resell the cheap amp... | |
| Any owners of Schitt Bifrost 2? You might want to check out a used Bifrost -- they come up for sale regularly. You could buy one and then resell it for about the same you paid if it doesn't float your boat or you just get the urge to move on. | |
| Fair Blind Test?? Besides YouTube's lossy audio, God only knows what microphone was used for recording the sound. For all we know, a cell phone was used. Amazing how they use fancy equipment costing thousands upon thousands and then show it off with 128 kbps audio... | |
| Anyone at home at Krell? I've been in commercial insurance for over four decades. It is surprising how many small companies have no succession/continuity plan in place. This is years ago, but we had one company lose the top three execs, all in their prime, in a plane cras... | |
| Need help choosing preamp for streaming I'd second the recommendation for a WiiM streamer. I have a Pro and a Mini. They sound good and are among the easiest digital products I've ever encountered to set up and use. They also have a Pro Plus which has a better DAC and they are weeks aw... | |
| Best streamer to replace my Mac Mini? @audiotroy -- I was just offering info, not an opinion one way or the other. Your initial response to @brunomarcs gave the impression that you were not familiar with the situation. His comment -- a sarcastic jab -- was perfectly clear to me in li... | |
| Recordable CD/DVDs are vanishing too Probably the bigger issue with CDRs is that you won't have as many brands to choose from as in the past, but the product will still be available. Just checked the Microcenter web site and they are down to one brand - Verbatim. Amazon still has s... | |
| Advice on Sterling LS3/6 I haven't heard the Sterlings but did buy a pair of Spendors from Jeff Stake about 15 years ago. He was very accommodating for both the listening session and the subsequent purchase. (Looks like he don't carry Spendor anymore.) | |
| Best streamer to replace my Mac Mini? @audiotroy -- Bruno's comment was in reference to a thread on another audio forum where a 432 EVO user had issues and didn't get the help he wanted from the manufacturer. He posted pictures of the interior and the manufacturer responded asking the... | |
| Best upgrade path from Borresen X3s I'll just add my voice to those who have asked what the OP is trying to "improve." You'd think for the dollars in play that one would be able to identify some specific traits in the current setup that are weak compared to what he would like. | |
| 10dB resonant peak at 40Hz Another thought not suggested above -- add a high pass filter to the existing speakers and add a powered sub or two. You can try the sub in different positions to find the best spot to even out the 40 Hz resonance. Subs can often be easier to mov... |
