| Audiogon members poor packing and shipping damage I completely agree with you. It is the sellers obligation to properly package all items to withstand the stresses of shipping. I have routinely created custom internal packaging to replace broken-down factory shipping materials in order to insure ... | |
| i Tunes help right click on track number one of the album then click on the info tab. You can manually enter all of the track info on the tab. Move on to the next track...... | |
| Prog Rock I was a big fan of the first progressive wave but I had pretty much lost touch with the genre until I saw this thread a week or so ago. I sampled several of the bands mentioned and I found many of them to not suit my taste at all. To each his own,... | |
| Desk Top Passive Monitor $500 used or less Stevensctt,If you end up buying a pair of JB3's come back to this thread and let us know what you think of them. I like mine a lot.... | |
| Desk Top Passive Monitor $500 used or less I also use the JohnBlue JB3's. They are great sounding desktop speakers for near-field listening. When I was searching for a pair last fall I could not find a US dealer or North American distributor. I contacted JohnBlue Audio in Taiwan using the ... | |
| Some help setting up a PC based audio system. An older MAC Mini makes a great digital rig. Just run iTunes for simplicity. Be sure to rip your CDs in lossless format like AAIF and be sure to turn on error correction when ripping. Connect the Wyred4 Sound DAC via USB and you are all set.There ... | |

| Does listening fatigue go away??? Don't your Quad 12L Actives each have an analog volume control on them? | |
| Wireless to my audio system ? Yep, Apple Airport express plugged into an AC outlet near your audio system will do the trick. You can go analog out of the AAE or you can go digital out of the AAE using mini-toslink cable and connect to a DAC in your system. | |

| Movies/TV Shows Look like Video I totally agree. A lot of BlueRay movies look like they are closed circuit TV or soap opera video to me. Way too much contract and too sharp. Interestingly, it doesn't look like this when you see it at the movies.I have not bought into BlueRay yet... | |
| Best internet stations for Jazz, esp. Classic/Cool I've been listening to TSF Jazz-La Radio 100% Jazz de Paris this morning via iTunes. I like it so far, but I don't have any long term experience with it. BTW, iTunes lists 208 Jazz stations! | |
| PSB Imagine Minis or Audioengine A5+? Dsch87,I used the Quad 12L Actives at 7 ft listening distance in my old room. They were very good at that distance. I don't know how the KRK Rokit would be at that distance, but I'm guessing they would be fine.And "TIC" is fine. Its a reference to... | |
| PSB Imagine Minis or Audioengine A5+? I can't speak about the AudioEngine A5+ as I've never heard them. But I did own a pair of Quad L12 Active speakers that I thought were very good for the price I paid (way below retail). They are also beautifully finished in either polished wood or... |
