| RIP Richie Havens I only discovered him a few years ago during a 50s/60s folk music period I was immersed in. Love his voice and his message. He has a neat website too. His body is gone but his soul and voice are with us always. | |
| Interesting Video That's fantastic! Thanks for sharing. I forwarded it to several of my friends. | |
| SoundSmith EZ Mount Cartridge Screws Thanks for the thorough explanation, TK! The databases are excellent resources, and will help me zero in on the best weights for my arm/cart combo. Plus, I've got a new website to frequent and learn from--I didn't know about Vinylengine. Danny | |
| SoundSmith EZ Mount Cartridge Screws Nobody uses them? | |
| Are there any audiophile quality streaming options Good question. Imagine a service like MOG that streams 1,411 kbs or even more, say 3-4 thousand kbs (real Hi Res, 24 bit/96 khz)! I can stream HD movies with 5.1 soundtrack on VUDU through my ROKU box. What are the technical limitations preventing... | |
| Entry Level MC Recommendations? Any clever ideas for stylus guards? I'm on the lookout for small plastic boxes and cylinders I might be able to fashion into a stylus guard. | |
| Entry Level MC Recommendations? OK, so here's what I'm going to do . . . First of all, thank you so much for your replies to my questions! You all helped me to see that MC at the price point I was considering would have been a step down from the Clearaudio/Soundsmith. And I lear... | |
| Entry Level MC Recommendations? Almarg. Thank you for your insight. Excuse my ignorance, but what does LOMC stand for? What will be the negative result of using a cartridge with a higher load impedance? Thanks to you all for your recommendations. I will continue to research MC c... | |
| Smithsonian Folkways FLAC Downloads Downloaded a Phil Ochs album "Broadsides 1," and a Barabara Dane album "I Hate The Capitalist System". 10 bucks each, FLAC lossless, decent, but not great sound. OK, I'll stop yapping. | |
| Smithsonian Folkways FLAC Downloads OK then. I'll answer my own questions. I downloaded an album by Nani Wolfgramm and The Islanders called "20 Golden Hits of Hawaii" (steel guitar instrumentals) in FLAC form. The sound quality is good, a lossless file of a compilation CD, the older... | |
| anybody into 60s garage comps? Not sure if you'd categorize these as garage, but the DIY series put out by Rhino Records a few years ago is superb. I have almost all of the punk ones, which are organized by city: Boston, L.A, New York. Then there are two volumes of U.K. Punk. T... | |
| Alejandro Fernandez His father, Vincente Fernandez, is a mariachi legend. I have to dig out my Vinente and Alejandro CDs and check out your recommendations. Thanks for the tip. | |
| Subsonic music streaming app Correction: Subsonic does do FLAC. You can disable the mp3 transcoding so it will stream FLAC flies. I haven't tried it yet, but if anyone has done this please chime in. | |
| Subsonic music streaming app Two things to consider: 1)I don't think there is a flac transcoder. I know for sure there is WAV (the file type I use) and have turned off.2)I have not used Subsonic outside of my house, so I can't speak to the 3G streaming capabilities--over wi-f... | |
| Subsonic music streaming app Richard.Sindre, the developer of Subsonic, sent me this response when I asked if it was possible to bypass the transcoding of WAV, Aiff, FLAC: "I'm not sure what audio formats the iPhone supports, but to turn off transcoding you go to Settings>... |
