| DAC Recommendations This is a tall order. I don't know how you can find anything better than the Benchmark DAC-1 for $1K.Benchmark shouldn't be bright. If you feel it is, maybe something else is wrong in your system. Have you tried driving your amp directly from DAC-... | |
| Pure Vinyl Software Ejlif,How do you get Masterlink to burn a CD in 10 minutes? Mine takes about 30 minutes to render and another 40 minutes or so to burn. Did I miss a setting somewhere? | |
| Pure Vinyl Software Jwynacht,I took a look at PureVinyl. It is an interesting little program and certainly has some good features that could simplify LP transfer. But the author wants over $200 for it. I am not sure it is worth the price. What troubles me most is not... | |
| how to get my ipod songs on my mac? Take a a look at this sitehttp://www.ilounge.com/and do a search, it has so much discussions on this topic. | |
| Pure Vinyl Software Herman,I have an Alesis Masterlink and have been digitizing my LP collection for a few years now. Everything you wrote is true but if you have listened to a LP transferred track vs a regular CD, you would understand why I did it. I digitize LP at ... | |
| New analog system disappoints, please help What kind of music do you listen to? If you listen to R&R, CD may actually sound better. | |
| iTunes config & Backup software for Mac Herman,I personally prefer not to add a second drive because it will split the track location references in the library and you will have to backup to two drives which is inconvenient. I would rather buy a pair of bigger drives and copy everything... | |
| iTunes config & Backup software for Mac Macbook doesn't have firewire 800, only firewire 400. Why do you want to stick to firewire? USB-2 is just as fast (actually faster on paper), more reliable, and cheaper.If you want a quiet drive, try a Seagate. | |
| iTunes config & Backup software for Mac The best way to use an external drive for iTunes is to make an alias of the external drive, rename the alias to "iTunes", and drag it into your Music folder. You don't need to change any setting in iTunes.I wouldn't use Time Machine to backup iTun... | |

| budget Cables / Interconnects recommendations? Bean,The interconnect between a phono amp and a pre-amp doesn't have much impact. But if you are using a MC step-up transformer, the cable connecting the step-up and the pre-amp will change the loading of the MC cart due to the effect of the trans... | |
| budget Cables / Interconnects recommendations? I have owned and used many different cables and interconnects in the past 33 years. IMHO from my experiences, except for a couple brands, most of the interconnects between active components (pre-amp, power amp, CD player, etc.) sound pretty much t... | |
| New Audiophile - Upgrade Amp First or CDP First? In your situation, for $1600 budget, here is what I would do if I were you. I would get a new amp and improve the CDP at the same time. I would keep the Philips CDP and buy a Benchmark DAC-1 to improve its sound. The DAC-1 is a hot item but I have... | |
| Digital Out vs. USB Just one caution about HagUSB. It supports only 16-bit/44.1k or 48k signal. It won't work for 24/96k. Other than that, it is a great product. | |
| Getting a wireless music server right? You don't need NAS. A hard drive connected to your wireless router (I assume you are using Airport Extreme base station right?) will do. After the drive is mounted and showed up in the Finder, make an alias of it, rename the alias to iTunes and dr... |
