| Jamming with JAMO? You will not be disappointed with the Linkwitz Orion. I would have them if I needed more bass and loudness, but apartment living makes that impossible so I have Quad 2805.Prices very depending on whether you can do any work yourself, but even the ... | |
| Help: Managing Apple Music Files Connect to backup drive to the laptop (I assume it is USB) and import all the files. iTunes will with the correct setting not copy the files to the laptop, it will just show that they can be played. This means that they will show up in iTunes even... | |

| Best Late Night Low Volume Speaker I have Quads (2805) precisely because I live in an apartment where low level detail is much more important than high SPL and deep bass. I think any ESL will do but the newer Quads are a lot easier to use.Tubes are often recommended but I prefer my... | |

You will always be able to find a program that can convert to another such format sinc... | |
| Rip This, Tag That, Save it This way...What the... Do NOT use WAV. There is no standard for how to store the metadata (title, categody, bitmaps, ...) so this is typically stored separately. Many people have experienced losing this data in connection with backup restores or move between systems.I u... | |
| How are bit rates related to sample rates? I would highly recommend that you use AIFF instead of WAV in the iTunes environment. They are both uncompressed, but AIFF includes track information and album art in the file itself rather than putting it somewhere else.This doesn't make a differe... | |
| can a tube-o-phile be happy with ss? Yes, it is possible. I went from tubes to a Pass Aleph (with Quad 2805) and is very happy. But a real class A amp like that doesn't exactly give much of a heat/electricity advantage over tubes! |
