Apple iPhone Sound Quality?
There is a headphone jack on the iPhone and a line out if you plug it into the dock or a third-party connector (similar to other ipods). Unlike an iPod, the stock headphones on the iPhone include a mute switch with an integrated mike to talk on th... 
Review: Shelter 201 Cartridge
Great review. How do you think it compares to a Denon DL103 or DL103R? Or Goldring 1042? 
Ethernet Wireless Hard Drive Music Server
The Airport Express is 802.11g. If you are planning to use the Lacie as a USB 2.0 anyway, then it is probably worth a try as a wireless ethernet drive. Please report back with your results. Just keep in mind that it will be dramatically slower tha... 
Ethernet Wireless Hard Drive Music Server
I've been researching this. It would be nice if something like this worked, since the price is right, but I don't think this will be fast enough to do what you want, since you will be using the ethernet drive as a wireless server for your music, r... 
External hard drive for expanding iTunes library?
Cyctocyle, thanks for the informative post. Do you know anything about how the new USB share drive on the Apple Airport Extreme will work with a MAC system? It seems like you could connect multiple large USB drives to an Airport Extreme and create... 
Walker Audio Extreme SST
Thanks for the explanations, comments, and suggestions on storing SST. I just bought E-SST. I was having problems with crackling sounds and excess noise, which I thought was coming from the tubes on my amp. I cleaned the tube pins with rubbing alc... 
External hard drive for expanding iTunes library?
Go on newegg.com. SATA is now standard. I checked. They have 81 different external enclosures for sale for a 3.5" drive, with some inexpensive ones for less than $40. Please let us know how it works out for you and what you think about the noise l... 
External hard drive for expanding iTunes library?
Read the noise ratings on www.pcsilentreview.com. You'll find out that the 3.5" 500GB drives generally have significantly more noise than a 2.5" laptop hard disk (max. size is 200GB, but 200GB is very expensive, so realistically, you're maxed out ... 
Itunes Error Correction
I have a Mac and I use error correction with no problem on iTunes ripping to Apple Lossless. Have you tried different CD's to try to isolate why iTunes isn't working on your PC? If you search for advice here and elsewhere, you'll discover that EAC... 
Scott Nixon USBTD vs Wavelength Brick
Steve and Jc51373 thanks for the very helpful comments. It sounds like Gordon has developed a real state of the art component. I'll start saving for a Crimson... 
Scott Nixon USBTD vs Wavelength Brick
Thanks for the info. The SN is designed to maximize sound quality at a very low price point. I've been very impressed by everything I've read that Gordon has posted on Audio Asylum and he has a very happy customer base, which is a good sign. I ass... 
Scott Nixon USBTD vs Wavelength Brick
I'm in the same boat as Orjazzm. I like the Nixon USB dac very much, but now that I have a taste of what is possible, I wonder how much better things get with the Brick and then the Cosecant (or alternatively, other USB options and higher end univ... 
Vinyl records grading scale
I agree that you need to get to know the seller. If you don't know the seller, you should assume overgrading. Even though VG is supposed to mean "very good," it actually means "vertible garbage" in many cases, especially if you only like to listen... 
Jazz vinyl- go for originals or new reissues?
Tom,I feel like I've been in the same boat as you. I recently upgraded equipment and I'm getting back into vinyl purchasing mode. A few years ago I went through most of the issues you're going through. I never made it up to paying for pristine ori... 
External hard drive for expanding iTunes library?
For reviews of noise levels for various drives, check out www.silentpcreview.com. The comments on silentpcreview are consistent with what I've been saying. If you want a 500GB external drive, then it isn't going to be silent, even if it is fanless...
