| $500 Digital Source to Complete $2K Bedroom System Not impressed with the Quad. I had it for a while. What about a PS Audio digi link iii for $500 and a very cheap CDP for transport, and then rip all your music so you're mostly listenting to the squeezebox? | |
| need some help with J River and a new pc Lev - if you don't want to get into what file structure (or actually directory structure) is, you're doing the right thing by converting to FLAC. Just make sure you have enough space on your hard drive to make the full conversion.But - if you are ... | |
| need some help with J River and a new pc Yes, WAV files are a problem because they are not tagged with information. What program were you using to manage music on your old PC? Kthomas is right - if you were using Jriver and you employ the exact same directory struture, and if you can cop... | |
| Entertainment for Tonight Cool! I heard it at Benaroya for the first time this two days ago, and it was great! A beautiful lush peice that made musical sense - that is, I felt myself aligning with the music. I'd never heard the Saint Saens before, so I heard it with new ea... | |
| Would this room work? What about removing the drywall from the ceiling joists, filling with sound absorptive insulation, and then using acoustic cloth across that. Seems to me that you are very limited in height dimension, so it would be better to build your treatment ... | |
| Amplifier for Jordan JX92S Transmission Lines Thanks, I'll give one a try - likely wait until one comes up used. BTW - do they have any propensity towards humming? I would likely leave it on 24/7, and wouldn't want an amplifier that would impart noise to the bedroom environment. | |
| Amplifier for Jordan JX92S Transmission Lines Thanks Jim. Is that considered a Class D amplifier? I've got the following amp already at home, built by Tim Rawsone:"Built with the 'AD' version of the Hypex ucd180 module. A fast, rich open sound, with no grain or midrange glare. The power suppl... | |
| Are The Klipsch Heritage Series Really Worthy? There are lots of mods you can do to bring the LaScala up to a steller performer. On mine, I've rewired them with all silver wire, replaced the tweeters, replaced the Xovers with ALK crossovers, added adhesive damping sheets to the midrange horn -... | |
| Disappointing Evening I don't understand being frustrated at all! It's like expecting people to appreciate a great wine or tobacco when they are not experienced with either. Friends are more important than things. Why be frustrated that someone doesn't share the same s... | |
| So, what DON'T you spend money on? Tvad - you should investigate those smokeless combuster units made in Germany for healthy extraction of THC molecules!I agree that many do trade off stuff for investment in good sound. Usually those things aren't in our value system anyway, so we ... | |
| How Important is RPM for Hard Drives Thanks. Got the 5400 green drive. I don't mind waiting longer for the backup to occur! | |
| How Important is RPM for Hard Drives I am mostly investing in cheap 2tb drives and making sure I have several redundent backups. I had a RAID drive but it was super noisy and the disks didn't stop spinning when my computer slept. Perhaps a better RAID drive would help. I'm basically ... | |
| Totem... Bass? Don't agree with Nadman12. I think the Model-1 has very nice bass, more natural than the Mani-2's, if you are not trying to fill too large of a room. Need a good stand, good amplification, etc. | |
| Amps that are "forward" Berning ZH270 is very forward, in my experience. | |
| Best shipper for 200lb amp? That should work out well for you. One hitch is insurance. I believe Pilot Air can insure for dissappearance but not damage. You may be able to purchase some additional insurance through an outside party. I've taken that chance with Pilot, and no ... |
