| CD Burning: What Route Should I Go? A new Mac with iTunes is a very effective rip/burn/playback combo. It's very powerful, easy to use and a complete, integrated package (including the optional iPod). And yes, iTunes has error correction during the ripping process. | |
| CD Burning: What Route Should I Go? To some extent the answer depends upon exactly what you're going to burn onto the CD-R. If you're going to burn copies of a vinyl collection, then a stand alone recorder is the easiest way to go. For $400-600 at your local music chain (Sam Ash, Gu... | |
| Is the big sound from the big names? The best values in high fidelity products come from the large corporate entities (Sony, Panasonic, Philips, Yamaha, etc.). I base this statement upon a combination of sonics, reliability, features, price and availability. These companies typically... | |
| How many years before MP3 becomes king? I agree with Flex. For music lovers MP3s have a very useful purpose. They're not high end, but not every music listening experience needs to be about audiophile values. | |
| Greatest rhythm sections Not necessarily the greatest, but an intensely musical pair are Pino Palladino and Manu Katche. They're both primarily studio musicians, but they seem to pair up frequently (Joan Armatrading, Julia Fordham, Tears For Fears, Sting, etc.). | |
| Can Anyone Please Walk Me Through This? My comments regarding sound quality comparisons were based upon listening through my bedroom system (Panasonic XR45 receiver, Sony SM7 speakers with a Apple G5 computer via optical cable as the source). | |
| Comments on Magnum Dynalab MD-208 receiver The Magnum reeiver will work fine as a replacement for the Rowland/Magnum combo. I believe the receiver's amp is based upon the well regarded Sim Audio design. | |
| Greatest rhythm sections Al Jackson and Donald Dunn in Booker T. & the MGs and the Stax/Volt house band. | |
| Can Anyone Please Walk Me Through This? Sorry if my earlier post come off sounding like I was bashing you. It just seems to me that you're being unrealistic with what the iPod is capable of doing. Just my opinion.You're real lucky that you Porsche/Nakamichi has a front panel aux input. ... | |
| Tenor amp / Coincident Total Victory combo You describe your amp as sounding "amazing" and the synergy between the amp and speaker is "marvelous", so why change anything? | |
| sound of jitter Eliminating jitter will not result in what audiophiles consider analog sound. There are any number of D/A converters and other outboard devices that reclock the incoming digital datastream and thereby eliminate jitter, yet they don't sound analog ... | |
| Can Anyone Please Walk Me Through This? No we do not all agree. Not as a personal attack, but you seem overly rigid in your position, so much so that I question why you're even bothering with an iPod.I agree that MP3 style compression is not high end audio, but I still argue that for ce... | |
| Moving from ProAc's to....... Exactly what does your current speaker lack that you want a new speaker to do (or do better)? | |
| Ceiling Height The overall room ratio is the critical element and the problem with a low ceiling height is that it limits the number of practical room ratios. Low ceilings also create the possibility of greater frequency response irregularities due to reflection... | |
