| Using the Logitech Duet Remote with the Touch The Duet Controller works perfectly with the Touch. I've been using that combo for six months now. (I sold the Duet Receiver a month or two after I bought the Touch.) The Duet Controller also works just fine with my old SB3 and the Squeezebox Radio. | |
| Jim Salk's Speakers? How often a speaker (or any other component) brand is mentioned in a public forum is going to have a relation to how many units have been sold. Salk is only sold direct; there are no dealers where someone who has never heard the speakers can audit... | |
| Cary 300SEI w/Harbeth P3SR or Spendor SA-1? It is not about SPL level.The real problem is dynamic congestion & lack of nuance. I'll have to disagree. Desired SPL levels are a very basic factor in amp/speaker compatibility. It's rather like claiming horsepower or torque are meaningless m... | |
| Cary 300SEI w/Harbeth P3SR or Spendor SA-1? Both the SA-1 and P3SR are less efficient than your larger SP1/2E. (SP1/2 is 88 dB at 1 watt, the SA-1 is 85 dB and the P3ESR is 83.5 dB according to specs.) Assuming you are reasonably accurate about your maximum desired volume you'll probably be... | |
| matched quads, one dead, then what? If you still have the boxes the tubes came in, you may find the transconductance and/or current draw number marked on the box. This is generally how tubes are matched. If the info is there, you can call your tube supplier and ask if they can sell ... | |
| Stereophile Rated the Sqeezebox Touch Class D I suspect the Squeezebox Touch is simply too inexpensive to rate much higher regardless of performance. A couple of years back the Transporter was rated Class A. I've been a Squeezebox user for about 9 years now and have used everything from the S... | |
| I need help with a Dual 1219 that rumbles? There is still a possibility it could be the platter spindle assembly. When the idler wheel is engaged, it places asymmetical pressure at one point on the rim of the platter. This could cause rumble when the idler wheel is engaged. The problem is ... | |
| I need help with a Dual 1219 that rumbles? It's not clear from your description if the rumble is coming from acoustic feedback (through the air or turntable plinth) or from the mechanical parts that make up and run the platter. I think you're leaning toward the latter as the source of the ... | |
| Klipsch Chorus or Cornwall II No one else is going to be able to tell you if you will like Klipsch or not. You'll have to listen for yourself. Taking a poll won't help. What happens when 75% tell you to buy (or not buy) a brand and your heart is really with the minority? You'v... | |
| Trade- off, power SS vs tube magic. I guess it's a matter of perspective and priorities. I just replaced the four KT-88 power tubes on my amp at a cost of $160. The old set lasted about five years. That's about $2.70 a month to keep the amp running. I spend far, far more on monthly ... | |
| hearing tests - where and how? A few years ago I had no problem getting a referral from my doctor for a visit to an ENT's office for a hearing test that went up to 20K. Stay out of the phone book and ask your doctor instead. | |
| The CD player is dead....... You're a real slice, PO! And the acronym is appropriate, too. See you around... | |
| The CD player is dead....... Aplhifi, I think you're conflating several issues into one. A cheap CD drive is perfectly capable of delivering a perfect bit performance as far as data goes. If it couldn't, it would be useless in a computer. Corrupted data is no more useful to c... | |
| The CD player is dead....... Plutos: "Don`t forget that you still need to use some transport to load and rip your CD-s in to your hard drive. This all involves additional jitter and other problems."Jitter only occurs during the actual decoding step, when the digital is transf... | |
| The CD player is dead....... PO, you seem dead stuck on your 90%. When shown wrong with a referenced source, you declare numbers "irrelevant." Then you call everything else "propaganda" and then you're back to your "90%." Nice circle. I see you love a good conspiracy theory a... |
