| Sunfire vacuum tube control center tube upgrade Another source of great advice and service is Jim McShane. His site isn't particularly easy to navigate but just email him with your question. | |
| Speakers that can be placed against the wall? The Devore Fidelity Gibbon 8's are front-ported and work extremely well near the wall in my living room, which is almost the same size and shape as yours. They were designed by a New Yorker with small living spaces in mind. The next speaker up in ... | |
| It's 2008, what speakers deserve recognition. I would second Jb8312's nomination of the Devore Fidelity speakers. I've had mine a year and a half and they still surprise and delight me. | |
| Anyone drive gear from Canada to US? As Elf73 suggests, it's very important to be able to document that the gear was made in a country covered by the NAFTA agreement (which would almost surely be either Canada or the U.S. if it's audio gear.) If it's not, or you don't have some proof... | |
| shipping heavy amps - Canada to US? The other consideration is the country of origin of the amps. If they were made in Canada or the U.S., or another country covered by the Nafta agreement, you won't be stuck with an import duty but if they're from somewhere else, you will. I learne... | |
| ProAc D Two and an amp to live with forever Another amp to consider if you're looking at the Primaluna and the Cary amps is the Rogue Cronus integrated. I'm using one with a Benchmark DAC and Devore Gibbon speakers and it's a wonderful combination. It has a remote and headphone amp, is very... | |
| Power PC G3 as music source? The Apple store online has refurbished Mac Minis with the same warranty as new ones for $499 at this moment. Scroll down the page.The number available is usually very limited but different models do come up every few days | |
| Speaker Dimple One other suggestion, in case the tape or vacuum methods don't work but you really want to get rid of the dimple: get the smallest sewing needle you can find and carefully pierce the area of the dimple with the very tip. Angle the needle about 45 ... | |
| Creek Destiny Integrated vs. Current Aragon System I haven't heard your speakers and the match with them would be the most critical factor for you, I'd guess, but I have owned a few amplifiers in your price range that I can comment on. The McCormack, Audio Refinement and Sim Audio solid state amps... | |
| How to stop iPod Syncing? This isn't an answer to your question, just a suggestion, but considering how much trouble you'll be going through to manage the music that way, you might consider buying another external hard drive of the same size as your iPod's drive and storin... | |
| CD players with volume control? Ah! Tjoeb | |
| Jackson Browne's "Time the Conqueror" Uh..., Kira and Ml8764ag, how is a performer's injecting their political opinions into a performance any different from injecting yours into an audio forum where the question was a straightforward one about the availability of a CD? | |
| Newb needs help. I can't address your speaker question but most subs have a high-level input that would allow you to go from the speaker terminals of your amp to the sub. For several brands, that's the manufacturer's recommended way to connect, in fact. That your ... | |
| Possible to convert Apple Lossless to WAV.? It's very simple in iTunes. Open 'Preferences,' click on the 'Advanced' tab, then on the 'Importing' tab and choose WAV as the format. Close the Preferences window, select as many songs as you want to convert and choose 'Convert to WAV' from the A... | |
| Possible to convert Apple Lossless to WAV.? It's certainly possible to convert Apple Lossless files to WAV within iTunes but how many CDs do you plan to convert and where is the point that it is reported iTunes becomes a problem? I have about 400 CDs in iTunes so far without a hint of any p... |
