| Pandora Right, thanks. As far as I know the ways you can access Pandora are through a browser, a desktop application running on a PC or Mac or a mobile app on an iPhone, iPad or Android device. I think Spotify and Mog work similarly but Mog does work dire... | |
| Pandora Mceljo - can you explain what you mean by in-home components? I run Pandora One on an iMac and use Airfoil to send it to three separate systems, the iMac locally, a small system in my basement and my living room system, the latter two through an A... | |
| headphone cable adaptor for xlr to 1/4 " B&H has four pages of XLR to stereo phone adapters. Great company to deal with, too. There are some less expensive versions but I'd go for the Mogami. | |
| Pandora Mceljo - What your receiver is telling you is correct. If you're listening to the free Pandora service it is sending files at 128 kilobits per second and if you upgrade to the premium service you receive higher-quality 192 kbps files. That's unrel... | |
| Pandora My daughter listens to Pandora as a primary source and I put together a system for her that works really well. The amp is an Onkyo A-5L integrated that has a built-in Burr-Brown PCM1796 DAC with coax and optical inputs. Toslink out from her MacBoo... | |
| i need a universal remote for a cal icon mkII cd According to the Logitech Harmony compatibility database their remotes do support the Icon MkII. From the first drop-down choose 'Music player' and then 'CD player.' California Audio Labs is then a choice from the second drop-down menu. eCost has ... | |
| Bi-Amping 2 Interconnects or Y Cable? These Audioquest Y-adapters work well and avoid any extra cabling. | |
| help with music? Second the recommendation of Pandora, particularly with its $36 a year premium subscription. Also check out Spotify. It's invitation-only at the moment but you can usually find a way to get an invitation. It delivers almost anything you could want... | |
| Subwoofer connection to older tube amp Jamesk58 - It would be a good idea for you to ask this question in a new post since the only ones who are seeing it now are those who answered your original question about the sub hookup. | |
| Can I connect my iPhone to my Ayre integrated amp Reubent - Yes, in my comments about music file resolution I didn't mean to imply you couldn't completely enjoy music at lower resolutions. I probably spend at least as much time listening to Pandora and Spotify as I do to the higher resolution sou... | |
| Can I connect my iPhone to my Ayre integrated amp Probably the most important factor affecting the sound quality, beyond whether you use the headphone or the dock connector output, is the resolution of the music files, themselves. Music in a lossless format is going to sound a lot better than the... | |
| Subwoofer connection to older tube amp According to the tech at HSU I talked with there is no reason to use the same gauge cable for the sub since all it is carrying to the sub is the frequency and amplitude information which the sub then amplifies on its own. He said, essentially, tha... | |
| Subwoofer connection to older tube amp Davidrb - Yes, it will work fine with a tube amp. I used that setup for a couple of years with and AES/Cary Superamp. The amp has five-way binding posts and I used spade connectors on the cables to the speakers and bananas plugged into the same bi... | |
| AES Superamp or Quicksilver Mini-Mites? I don't have any experience with the Quicksilver amps but owned a Superamp wired in triode for several years and absolutely loved it. It's one of those pieces I really regret selling. I did so because I needed more than 15 watts for my speakers, o... | |
| Glass v.s. Plastic Toslink The adapter is just a mechanical spacer, it doesn't put anything between the optical signal and the receiver. |
