| Do you know how to? I had a similar problem with an amp I owned and while this solution might seem like overkill, it worked.I drilled a small hole in the center of the plastic cap and screwed in an appropriately-sized 'Easy Out' until it had enough grip that I could ... | |
| Table radio options for kids room I've bought a number of the Cambridge Soundworks units, both for myself and for friends and relatives. I think they're a very good value and have been extremely reliable.One of my friends bought a Bose Wave radio but was very unhappy with both the... | |
| Itunes downloads Kijanki - thanks for the chance to make a correction. The process I described for producing smaller files by converting during download from iTunes creates AAC files, not mp3. It does accomplish what Coffee1 is after, files that will easily fit on... | |
| Itunes downloads Joncourage - you're right, you can't buy lossless downloads through the iTunes store but the iTunes application can store and play lossless files that have been created by ripping discs or downloaded from other sources. | |
| Itunes downloads Yes, there are a couple of ways to do that (probably more than a couple, actually, but here are two.)When you connect your Touch to your computer and click on it under the 'Devices' tab in iTunes, under the 'Summary' tab there will be a checkbox i... | |
| Which DAC is better? I own the Simaudio 100D, the little brother of the 300D, and it's a wonderful, natural sounding DAC. If your primary source will be USB, though, the 300D is probably not the best choice. Simaudio makes it very clear in their description of both th... | |
| How does one copy cassette tapes to computer? I can't help with recommendations for doing that on a PC but on a Mac the combination of the 1/8" to dual RCA adapter to the built-in audio input and the "CD Spin Doctor" application that comes as part of the Toast software package works well. He'... | |
| USB ports do everything except export music I wasn't saying that I think the USB audio output of the iMac isn't working, in fact I think that's unlikely, but you won't be able to figure that out without testing with another computer or another DAC. | |
| EL34 upgrade Good recommendations here. At the lower end of the price scale the SED Winged Cs are excellent. The Gold Lion KT77s I bought from Jim McShane were rock solid and sounded wonderful and I also really liked the NOS Siemens like the ones Upscale Audio... | |
| Speaker Wiring You won't be able to use the tape out connectors because they are not controlled by the amp's volume control. I would use a speaker switch box that will handle the impedance issue. | |
| USB ports do everything except export music I suppose it's possible that the USB audio output of the iMac could be not working while the rest of the USB functionality is. It's also possible, of course, that the USB input of the Pop Pulse isn't working while the optical input is. You'll need... | |
| Tube Integrateds...why not a preout for subs..... There are tube amps that provide a preout, including the Cary Sli-80, but that one may be a little above the price range used. I'm sure there are others.An alternative is to get a sub with speaker level inputs. There are lots of those, including s... | |
| USB ports do everything except export music First thing is to open 'System Preferences' from under the Apple menu at the top left of the screen and click on 'Sound' in the row of Hardware icons. Click on the 'Output' button, the middle of three buttons at the top of the window. If you have ... | |
| How do you send an internet stream into a hi fi? Here's a recent thread that may be helpful: http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?htech&1328735094&openusid&zzSfar&4&& | |
| Power Failure on playing music. I think the risk is not the power failure itself but the potential power surge when the power is restored. I would expect the risk to be at least as great for the electronics as for the speakers. |
