| The CD player is dead....... Pettyofficer wrote: "The Computer was NEVER REALLY DESIGNED for Music Storage"Hmmm, wonder what all of those recording studios that make our music are doing for DAW recording equipment...;-) | |
| The CD player is dead....... Tvad: What does that mean? Replacing a hard drive every so often?Sure. Why not. Its a mechanical device. Drives are cheap. I replace them about ever 4 years or so. Duplicate the old drive to the new one and you're off and running. Perhaps the sche... | |
| The CD player is dead....... I'm sorry you've had problems with hard drive crashes. I don't view it as anything more than a maintenance item, rather like periodically needing new tires for your car. Also, replacing a motherboard does not mean losing data if you have a backup.... | |

| The CD player is dead....... Lloydc wrote: I am puzzled by claims that data from a hard drive equals data read from a great cd transport. Data has to get onto that HD in the first place. Huh?Doesn't data have to "get onto the CD in the first place" also? If not, where does it... | |
| The CD player is dead....... This is an issue that obviously brings some emotion to the table. The reality is the vast majority of CDs had their music contents transferred from a hard drive. Perhaps some old ones were transferred directly from an analog source through a ADC w... | |
| What is the effect of age on audio components? Age effects vary with the type of component involved. For solid state power amps, the most common problem is that power supply capacitors can deteriorate with age. That can result in an increase in noise. Cap failure can also completely disable th... | |
| Magnepan 1.7 or used Totem Forest Elb - if you're wondering how Totems or Maggies would sound in your system, one option is to buy used. There are several 1.6QRs available on Audiogon right now and a number of Totems, also. If you buy with a bit of investigation and a level head, ... | |
| Magnepan 1.7 or used Totem Forest There are two major factors to consider that no one else can help with. The first aspect is based on your personal priorities as to what is important in reproduction of music.The second is these two speakers will interact with your listening room ... | |
| Logitech Touch vs Duet Anyone that has owned a Duet knows the grief. SONOS is a superior product by leaps and bounds compared to Logitech solutions.Strange. I owned a Duet (and still own the Controller) and had no big issues. I now have a Touch in my main system, a SB3 ... | |
| Logitech Touch vs Duet Can you use the duet remote with the logitech touch unit?Yes. That's the way I do it in my system. (I even sold my Duet Receiver and just kept the Controller.) It is rare that I play music directly from the Touch's screen. | |
| Is the Transporter gone out of production forever? I don't know the exact, official status of the Transporter but you're right, it is missing from the product line up now. However it was doomed to go out at some point since the visual display modules used in it were no longer being manufactured. I... | |
| What percentage of audiophiles use a sub ? Given the lack of the brick wall that you described, why wouldn't that be clearly understandable that such an effect were possible? The question is not whether it is clearly understandable, but what does one do about it? There are multiple complex... | |
| What percentage of audiophiles use a sub ? My case is a bit extraordinary in that my subs are integral to the speaker design and the speaker itself. The midrange driver handles above 100hz, and the integral subs are 10hz-100hz. So indeed the 65hz frequency of a cellos low notes is changed ... | |
| What percentage of audiophiles use a sub ? Yes, having a cello sound like a cello certainly does make sense, and in that case, a cello does sound more authentic to it's natural sound when (well-)augmented at the low end. The lowest note on a cello is C2 which is about 65 Hz. That doesn't ... |
