| Taking care of lacquer wood finishes Souljasmooth - Yes, I've used the Fender instrument care kit on my own speakers but considering how important this is to you I'm withdrawing my recommendation of it. I would suggest you find a local cabinet maker who does fine lacquered furniture ... | |
| Taking care of lacquer wood finishes The best thing I've found is a guitar care kit marketed by Fender as a musical instrument kit and made by Meguiars. | |
| Moving across country with over 1000 LP's In the quantity you're going to need you might check out U-Line's selection of boxes. They have a huge selection and are dramatically cheaper than buying singles from U-Haul. It looks as if this one or something similar would work and buying in bu... | |
| Wired or Wireless DAC? I don't have any experience with a USB run that long but it would be easy enough for you to try it and see how it works for you. Monoprice sells really well-made cables at very good prices. The longest standard USB cable they sell is 15 feet. To g... | |
| Wired or Wireless DAC? I'm not sure about the impact of this on your proposed setup but it sounds as if you'd be at the maximum recommended length for a USB cable. This is from Wikipedia:"The USB 1.1 Standard specifies that a standard cable can have a maximum length of ... | |
| Upgrade program Sim Audio has a 'trade-up' program that gives full value for components bought new if you want to move up in their line of products. | |
| Anyone familiar with the Mirage 8 I have the Mirage Omni S8 and think it's a great small sub. I had an well-regarded HSU 12" sub before the Mirage and found the Mirage sounded as good and was much easier to integrate smoothly with my main speakers. I've used it only for two-channe... | |
| Proac Response 2 I've owned two pair of Proacs and had a two-week in-home audition of the Response 2 some years ago. I loved all of them. I certainly haven't listened to everything out there but the only other brand I've come across I've liked better than Proac is... | |
| Kimber, Signal or Blue Jeans? I agree the Signal Cable sounds like a great deal. If you want to spend a little time discovering whether speaker cables in that price range can make a difference in your system you could also get 16 feet of Canare 4S11 from markertek.com and just... | |
| Kimber, Signal or Blue Jeans? It's not going to be possible to get a definitive answer so maybe the best approach would be to buy the Signal cables if they're at a great price and try them. Then, keep your eye out for a deal on something else you think might work, buy it and c... | |
| Optical input double adaptor? No idea how well they work but amazon.com has lots of options, both 2-1 adapters and switchboxes. Search for 'optical splitter.' | |
| Need an affordable USB to coaxial adapter on a Mac That should work really well for you and with those cables it's a real bargain. Congrats. | |
| Need an affordable USB to coaxial adapter on a Mac If you could find one used the first version of the Musical Fidelity V-Link works really well. The new version is supposed to be better but is more than your budget at $190. | |
| i Tunes help If you have a lot of songs to fix there are applications that claim to be able to analyze your whole music collection and supply missing metadata. I don't have experience with this one, Songgenie, but it got a great review in Macworld. There are p... | |
| Digital coaxial audio cable suggestions. I agree with the recommendation for the DH Labs Silver Sonic D-75. An internet search will pull up several online dealers, including at least one who advertises here. You also can email DH Labs at info@silversonic.com for the nearest dealer. |
