| Who's your guitar daddy now? Kijanki - I'm certainly not as knowledgeable as you about Bach and I suppose I'm fairly uncritical (if that's a word.) I would describe her playing of the Lute Suites as restrained rather than energetic, more 'Sunday morning' listening than 'Satur... | |
| anyone else hate locking RCAs? Agree with Jtwrace, the locking RCA's on the DH Labs Air Matrix work extremely well. | |
| Who's your guitar daddy now? Kijanki - two other Sharon Isbin recommendations, "Bach: Complete Lute Suites" and "Dreams of a World" | |
| Replacement tube for Peachtree Audio Decco? Oh, and as long as you've got the Decco open and are swapping tubes there's a small change I would suggest, at the risk of being ridiculed for even bothering with it.About the only thing I didn't like about the Decco was the LED they install in th... | |
| Replacement tube for Peachtree Audio Decco? The stock tube in my Decco was a Russian 6H23n and it's actually a pretty nice-sounding tube.I tried most of the tubes I have around that would work in the Decco and really liked the Amperex 6DJ8 Orange Globe but it's one of a pair that I like to ... | |
| Unconnected Drain Wires ? The Belden 19364 cable which is used in the DIY Bob Crump designed 'Asylum' power cord has hot, neutral and ground wires, plus a metal foil shield and a separate drain wire. | |
| New Mac Mini vs. old as music server If you're not in a hurry and want to save some money you should check out the refurbished Macs at the Apple online store. Batches of Minis come up every week or two but when they're gone they disappear from the site. Yesterday there were some avai... | |
| New Mac Mini vs. old as music server I don't know of anything that would make a difference except perhaps the difference between the wireless cards. The older Minis would have an 802.11g card in them and the newer ones would have 801.11n. If you're doing wireless streaming and have a... | |
| BNC to RCA adaptor Partsconnexion has a BNC male to RCA female gold-plated connector on this page. You'll have to scroll about halfway down the page to find it. | |
| Who's your guitar daddy now? Jlamb - I do have one album by El Nino Josele, "Calle Ancha," and, while he's a great player, I don't find it completely engaging and my mind tends to wander, something that never happens with Paco de Lucia. I'm certainly not very knowledgeable ab... | |
| itunes backup suggestions If you're going to copy two different drives to one backup drive you'll need to partition the backup drive so that it appears to be two separate drives. You can do that with the Disk Utility application that comes with the Mac OS. Before you start... | |
| itunes backup suggestions Jtwrace - Yes, you can back up any drive to any backup medium that has the capacity of the original. I use SuperDuper to back up an external drive with all the iTunes music and database on it, and also to clone the internal drive of the MacBook Pr... | |
| itunes backup suggestions SuperDuper is about as easy to use as an application gets. When you launch, it scans for any attached drives. You pick the source drive from a pull-down menu on the left side of the window and a destination drive from the pull-down on the right, c... | |
| itunes backup suggestions The Drobo suggestion is a great one, especially if you want constant backup without having to think about a backup schedule. The only downsides are the cost and that you have everything committed to one physical device that can be lost in a burgla... | |
| Alternative to Nuforce Icon...with headphone amp I don't know of anything exactly like your description but a Peachtree Audio Decco would do most of what you want. It may be overkill in terms of the number of inputs and outputs, though. |
