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 ... 
B&W DM302 vs. Kef Q1
Of the two speakers that you mention, I would go with the KEF Q1. When compared to the B&W 302s, the KEFs sound more open and more lively and to these ears, definitely more musical. The B&Ws 302s just sounded "off" in the treble region. I ... 
NAD C541i vs Music Hall CD25
JR:The Music Hall MMF CD25 is the way to go. I have owned the NAD 320BEE for about 15 months now and for the first 12 months, I had the NAD paired with a Pioneer PD 65 and the system sounded fine. A few months ago, I swapped the Pioneer with the M... 
Lyle Lovett, John Hiatt, Joe Ely, Guy Clark
Hi Slipknot1:Hiatt's body of work can be a real hit or miss. Some of his best recent work can be found on an album that John did about four years ago on the Vanguard label entitled, "Crossing Muddy Waters." I feel that this album has some of his m...

Info:You can try the following sources: 1. Cambridge Azur Audiogon thread . 2. The February 2004 issue of What Hi Fi has a comparison/review of a number of cd players and the Azur 640 is one of them. Regards, Rich 
Is anyone using Signal Cable interconnects/cables?
I was satisfied enough after using Signal Cable interconnects and speaker cables that I did not bother to look any further. In my various systems, I had previously used Radio Shack Gold Interconnects; IXOS Gamma interconnects and speaker cables; B... 
What is the SACD Mod business all about?
I liken an audiophile buying an SACD player, which is not TOTL, and then contemplating modifications ... to an avid bicyclist buying a name brand bicycle, which is not TOTL. If you are really into riding and buy an inexpensive name brand bike ... ...
