| Using Airport Express/AirTunes. Kijanki - yes, I had problems with interference from a microwave oven when I first put in an older Airport Express but was able to fix it in that case by switching channels from within the Airport Express utility application. If I remember correct... | |
| Using Airport Express/AirTunes. Streaming either wired or wirelessly from a Mac to the Airport Express, then via the optical mini-Toslink jack on the AE to an optical input on a DAC works very well. That does, indeed, bypass the internal DAC of the AE and there is no impact on A... | |
| Integrated amplifier recommendations, Please Agree with the recommendation of the Audio Refinement Complete but if you can't grab that one, the Onkyo A-9555 is a better amp than anything from NAD or Adcom, in my experience. It got a great review from Stereophile and I've been very impressed ... | |
| Best external hard drive to store PC ripped music Software designed to back up and restore the files on your hard drive is a different thing from software designed to organize your music collection, and both are independent of the brand of hard drive you use.If what you're interested in is having... | |
| Best external hard drive to store PC ripped music I'm not sure what your question is. Hard drives by themselves don't have a user interface independent of the directory structure of the operating system you're using or the music server application. Are you asking what application you should use t... | |
| WAF Help Please Split braid comes in a range of sizes and would be easy to put on. If you want to go to the trouble of taking off the connectors and sliding on Techflex it would probably look neater. | |
| Most soulful female vocalist The Spanish singer Martirio, the Portuguese fado singer Cristina Branco and Lhasa De Sela. | |
| Your homemade tweaks? Gel wrist rests like those used with computer keyboards make effective isolation pads and are fairly inexpensive. | |
| Most soulful female vocalist To clarify, do you mean a female vocalist who sings in the genre usually referred to as "Soul," or one who sings soulfully? | |
| How do I open a command console window in a Mac Yes, Almarg is right. In the Utilities folder inside your Applications folder is something called Terminal.app. Open it and you'll get a terminal window where you can type command line instructions. | |
| Jolida Fx10 Thanks, Pizzatheorem. Mine came with Electro Harmonix tubes all around. I've picked up some alternative tubes that I've been really happy with. I traded some nice El-34's from another amp for a selection of vintage RCA and Tung-Sol 12ax7's and som... | |
| Power conditioning for computer audio Newark.com does sell to individuals in any quantity you want. Their ordering process is a little complex to set up the first time but the selection is vast and the ferrites are very reasonably priced. | |
| Beresford Dac Hdphone amp? I don't have many comparisons that might be useful but the Beresford was clearly better than the Valab DAC I had at the same time and better than the DAC and preamp combination of the Peachtree Decco integrated that has a well-regarded DAC from Sc... | |
| Beresford Dac Hdphone amp? It's a very nice DAC and the headphone amp and volume control are a bonus. I bought one with the opamp upgrade option after my local dealer admitted that he was having a hard time selling the more expensive DAC's they stock once people listened to... | |
| Ayon Cd Player to IPOD I don't think there's any way to make that work. The iPod uses iTunes as its control interface for managing the import of music. I don't know anything about the Ayon player but unless it also contains a computer that can run iTunes it wouldn't hav... |
