| Transfering CDs to iTunes FLAC. Am I missing....? Thanks Ejresh, I feel a it better (especially because I've already ripped close to 100 CDs). That is a good point though about not being tied to Apple. Right now I find the iTunes interface pretty slick, so don't feel much of an itch to have more ... | |
| Transfering CDs to iTunes FLAC. Am I missing....? Guys - thanks so much for the info. Argh, I guess i'm dumber than I thought. I somehow assumed Apple Lossless was FLAC...don't know why. Darn, I don't know when this stuff needs to be so difficult...;-) Is Apple Lossless not as good a format then?... | |
| New Audio Physic Virgo 5 ? FWIW, I owned the Virgo 11 and loved them. I also found the bass a little boomy, but I used a pair of Sistrum 004 stands underneath. They are probably the best tweak I've ever encountered. They completely transformed the Virgos into something nimb... | |
| Best new loudspeaker Following on from Goatwuss' comment, I find it strange that these three 'users' who are promoting this new speaker all have previous transactions with each other.Pjl2122Dallas521Audiophile1958 I guess we're just talking about one user, not three. | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? I heard the MBL 101e at THE show in LA and thought them one of the best for sure, although they benefited from crazy expensive electronics. Two other speakers at the show that stood out were ESP Concert Grand and Rockport Mira. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Kgturner and V21, thanks so much for the info. Good to hear that the combo works great. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century I have what may be a silly question. I've been enjoying my Syrah, and I've a friend who is poised to purchase a Chardonnay. Question is, he want's to connect it to a pair of monoblocks and a subwoofer. I know these pres have two sets of outputs, s... | |
| New Acuhorn speakers arriving - anyone heard them? Hi All:I know this thread is very old, but I thought i'd provide an update nonetheless. I found the Acuhorn 155 not to be my cup of tea, and sold it on soon after receiving them. They were replaced by Focal JM Lab Diva Utopia Be - with far better ... | |
| Kr Audio Amp - new Transformer Needed? Thanks Taylor514. I ended up finding the official KR Audio Service Center, and will see what they come up with.Cheers,John. | |
| How to Convert Analog Tapes to CD? Thanks guys for the great tips. I'll probably start with one of the PC approaches and see how the quality is. thanks again,John. | |
| Go DirecTV I must say that I've very few good things to say about my DirecTV experience. I could go on at some length to explain in detail how I believe they provide a poor experience, but here are some of the highlights:Sunday Ticket: If you subscribe to Su... | |
| Analog experiment I also commend Authur on valuable, honest throughs from what is surely a useful exercise, and one which might have saved me a lot of expense had I tried something similar, as I took the plunge into vinyl about 3 years ago (it's the reason I'm stil... | |
| Alcohol + Vinyl = Disaster... I've found the best defense is to drink large quantities of vino every day - helps build up a resistance to the stuff. I'm not sure what my vinyl rig sounds like when sober...;-) | |
| What happened to Linear Tracking Turntables Just to mention one relatively inexpensive one that I found is the MG-1 by Airtech:http://airtech.atspace.com/mg1.htmI actually bought it and it replaced my previous Origin Live Silver. The arm is a pretty simple design modelled after the Air Tang... | |
| Compliance & Efffective Mass Question Hi Folks:Thanks so much for all the thoughtful responses so far. A lot to consider. I'll see can I spend some time over the weekend doing some calculations and get a better read on if my compliance is far off. Actually I do have the HFNRR test rec... |
