| Please, some simple info and advice So far, in using a "Y" connector to run the two signals from the player (CD in this case) into one pre-amp input, I seem to be getting a distorted signal. How can a person combine these two channels from the player in a way that yields good, clea... | |
| .wav to .flac conversion using MAC OS X Yes you will lose album info in this process. Wave files have no information in them about the album. | |

| "Big Sound" Reccos? You are missing funk - if you want punchy drums and tight bass and big sound stage.Try Tower of Power for starters. Soul Vaccination live album will knock your socks off - I guarentee it. | |
| Anyone try decoupling speakers from the room? If the speaker cabinets waffle (light weight and not heavily braced speakers) then suspension will make a difference to the sound for sure...sound reinforcement speakers like JBL's fit this category as do thin wall cabinets such as Harbeth's. Is i... | |
| any advice appreciated listen closely to the vienna acoustics. i believe they have cabinet colorations(resonances) which are audible. Of course they do - but what can you expect at an entry level. Give Drew credit for selecting a warm speaker that will have a bit of ov... | |
| question about the "analog sound" I think Vinyl is a bit laid back compared to the "dryness' of digital, which is why many people like it. I am not surprised to see you comment that it lacks the "ooomph" you are used to hearing on digital, which some would call "harsh".My experien... |
