| Tuner deviation meter ? Guycom:Here's a thread from the Audio Asylum/Vintage Asylum that mentions the deviation meter ... The KT8300 is the only tuner I know, (well, besides the KT-917/600T) that has the cool deviation meter. This is great for understanding the quality... | |
| Tuner deviation meter ? Guycom:The more expensive vintage analog tuners/receivers actually had two types of signal meters for FM reception:1. A signal strength meter, which is the type that Brian was referring to. This meter moved in conjunction with signal strength. 2.... | |
| WAF, Help, Need Strategy Slappy.In general, I would not recommend having two systems in the same room ... it would look too much like a Circuit City showroom. If you are going to have the TV in your living room, have your HT system there. Put your stereo only system in an... | |
| Records of the Year 2003 Zaikesman:The Shins were a huge disappointment when they performed on the Conan O' Brien show. I was really taken aback. The vocals were thin; the band members were bouncing around and acting goofy during the song; and the drummer looked like he w... | |

| Nora Jones new CD -- Copy Protection -- YIKES Help me out on this one, guys. I pop the CD into my eMAC and iTunes only recognizes the same 13 songs that I would get, if I were to play the CD on my CD player. How would I access the additional bonus song(s)?Many thanks, Rich | |
| Nora Jones new CD -- Copy Protection -- YIKES On the MAC, you don't quite rip the CD to iTunes. You must first create a "playlist" in Tunes and then, copy the CD to the playlist. If the CD has copy protection, the MAC goes through the motions of copying, but when you play your playlist back, ... | |
| Efficient Bookshelfs on a budget? Eric:Have you given any thought to pro-audio products, specifically self-powered speakers? Usually, for a real modest price, you will get speakers that are shielded and sound pretty decent. These speakers have many applications ... portable stereo... | |
| What Center Speaker to use with EPOS ES11 A few years ago when I was using the EPOS 11 in a HT set-up, I spoke with Michael Creek (Creek Audio; EPOS speakers) and he said to try to purchase a used EPOS 11 and use it as a center speaker. EPOS now makes a center channel speaker , that is v... | |
| Grills OFF or Grills ON ??? JB:At least you have identified a second career in audio repair. My dad had a TV repair shop in Brooklyn from the late 1940's until the mid 1980's and I remember him fixing a torn table radio speaker with some rubber cement and tissue paper. Worke... | |
| downsizing, anyone recommend speakers 1000 or less Carlo: Audio Advisor has the EPOS M12 for $600; reduced from $900. The EPOS is a superb monitor that could work well for you. It has been very well reviewed. I owned an earlier model (EPOS 11) for years and it was great with all types of music, es... | |
| Grills OFF or Grills ON ??? JB:Sorry to hear of your plight. I should have added to my previous post the following ... no matter how many well-intentioned people tell you that you can train a cat or you can use a squirt bottle or blah, blah, blah and they have been successfu... | |
| B&W DM302 vs. Kef Q1 To add to my previous comments ... I see in another post that your budget is in the $500 range. The EPOS M12 would be a stunning choice of speaker for this type of set-up. It normally has a list of $900 new, but is currently available for $600 at ... |
