| budget digital interconnect thanks all - lots of great ideas and helpful info. I meant really cheap - and Loomis' suggestions ($10) are what I was hoping to hear of. | |
| Antenna for McIntosh MR 71`` get it aligned before you start looking for antennas. once that's squared away, you may not need anything special for an antenna - a rat shack TV one might do just fine, assuming you're not dealing with far-away stations. | |
| Dedicated lines- need break in? why not see it as a golden opportunity to do an experiment: get the best field recording set up you can and make a recording from a designated spot, with all the levels noted. do the same in a couple weeks, duplicating all the details, and see if ... | |
| Milton Nascimento my favorite Milton Nascimento is a collaboration with Wayne Shorter called 'Native Dancer' - both artists shine on this one and the synergy is seamless. plus, if you're into LPs, it's easy to find on vinyl for cheap. | |
| Looking for a good Stevie Wonder CD the '24 bit remastered' CD of fulfillingness' first finale is actually an improvement over the LP (which has a bizarre, intense muting of the high frequencies). | |
| Auditioning a Tube Amp in general you can expect better mid-range, a more natural sound, possibly better soundstage - and some 'rolloff' in the bass. if you want to hear what they do well, bring mid-range heavy (voices, jazz ensembles, acoustic instruments). if you want... | |
| Tube preamplifier tube choice help please there are at least a few vintage tube dealers on the net with extensive documentation on their sites regarding the different versions of tubes - especially 6SN7s. | |

| DAC's & SACD's. Can they be used? Total novice.. you read it right: SACDs don't work with DACs and you'll need 2 inputs if you want to use a DAC (you can buy a box that will add inputs to solve that one).others will no doubt disagree, but SACDs just aren't the huge dramatic improvement that they... | |
| Converting Vinyl to digital hi Riley,I don't know what difference it makes to use different software/hardware since I'm completely satisfied with what I have (I actually bought the Mbox for recording live music) and have no urge to 'upgrade' or do A-B comparisons. as far as ... | |
| Converting Vinyl to digital oops - I forgot to answer:I run from preamp to mbox, which is connected (USB) to the computer. | |
| Converting Vinyl to digital hi Chris -I use protools because it's what came with my 'Mbox' so you do need the Mbox. this is a downside of protools: dedicated hardware - that other software doesn't require. that being said, Mboxes are ubiquitous and used ones can be found for... | |
| Converting Vinyl to digital I'm not sure I'd say that it's all that time-consuming and there are certainly many times when I want a CD of my most frequently listened-to LPs. once I've recorded the LP to HD, it just takes a minute to do the fade-ins/outs and the 'bounce to di... | |
| Linn Abandons CD Players to all of the skeptics: do yourself a favor and audition a HD-based system. you can keep your CDs (and fondle them all you like), but those same CDs, when properly downloaded to a HD (using software that pulls all the digits off without any errors... | |
| how long can you leave a CDP on 'pause'? my CDP (SCD-1) has a very slow fast forward; if I'm listening to a long piece without 'chapters' and want to go out for a few hours, I'd prefer to put it on pause if it doesn't hurt the little beastie - but, alas, it apparently does. hence the que... |
