| Help Me With Everything Needed: Computer Audio I'm not a veteran in computer audio, more like a new recruit but I've gotten thru some basic training. Here are my thoughts:1. Apple something (laptop, mini, ?). Their headphone out is analog and digital. For digital, you use a Toslink cable that ... | |
| Best 300B tube for Cayin 300B amp? "Any one try the new Genalex 300B?"I have a matched quad I'm using in a Cary pp. I'm happy with them. | |
| Best steak to eat while listening to your rig? Somec59, Has to be a Census Takers liver. I tried a Clowns liver but it tasted funny. | |
| Pandora "what kind of system would you put together to play it, without having one that far exceeded the quality of the source?"Depends on if your a music lover or equipment fanatic (right brain/left brain orientated if you prefer). Either is fine but wil... | |
| If your whole system costs $40,000.... Survey: "how much will you invest in CD player with that sum?"Answer: As much as it takes so that I enjoy listening to the music thru it. It so happens that at this time, it's around 10%. I would consider it foolish to limit myself to a certain % ... | |
| All Amps Sound the Same.... Audiofeil, no, no, no. Every power cord sounds the same, it's the wall socket that makes the difference. :-)Below is a scene I'm writing from "A Few Good Audiophiles". (Any similarities to "A Few Good Men" is purely intentional). Jack: You want th... | |
| Can I connect my iPhone to my Ayre integrated amp Reubent and Sfar, Totally agree with your last paragraphs. Pandora is doing it for me. | |
| Can I connect my iPhone to my Ayre integrated amp You could try a mini to rca adapter plug (stereo mini pin to right/left rca's). Go from your headphone jack to an aux input on your pre. Little better: you could get Apples $60 docking station. It has a headphone out and you can keep your phone ch... | |
| Modern Linestages Seeings this tree of a thread has branched off in many directions, it's my turn. My curiousity has me wondering why/how some artists can charge so much for their paintings??? I mean how much does canvas and paint cost anyway? And worse, there are ... | |
| MSB M202 compared to Pass XA.5 Peterayer,When you say "more neutral than the Pass", do you hear the Pass as warmer or cooler than neutral? Just curious. | |
| Assistance with Coincident set-up I have not heard the Shindo preamp so I didn't comment on it. I've read it's a great preamp and I think I read that it has a high output impedance, maybe in the 1000's???. If that's true, you may benefit from another preamp. Synergy goes a long wa... | |
| Best steak to eat while listening to your rig? Isochronism > "cause' he liked to greet guests with a hand shake!". I liked that.I wonder if Inna was playing the Pink Panther Theme when the ant was snuffed. "Dead ant, dead ant, dead ant dead ant dead ant." | |
| Assistance with Coincident set-up 300b amps are among my favorite amps. I'd think long and hard before you let go of the Franks. A PP or PSE amp using a big triode like the 845 or 211 might work for you but I haven't found one that has that "magic" that SE seems to do. VAC and Can... | |
| Modern Linestages Mitch4t and C1ferrari, glad you appreciated the humor.In this day of acronyms, I find it interesting that "OR" can stand for either Operating Room or Oakland Raiders. Coincidence? I don't think so.Looks like it's been heading southward from my 8-2... | |
| Modern Linestages Grannyring: "I like this topic and would love more open minded discussion."Me too. So far so good. Start a power cord thread and I've seen more peace and harmony in an Oakland Raiders parking lot after a game. :-)I've had this comparison in my hea... |
