| Need opinions on duping CD's Yes, a much better way. Download Exact Copy, which will cost you about $7 for a life time license. Then rip them onto a hard drive. either one on your PC or a USB drive, in either .WAV or .FLAC format. You will need some space, so make it a... | |
| The Miller Carbon Story And interesting story for sure! I have been looking at upgrading the motor in my unit to a three phase brushless motor with much higher torque than the old stock unit. But using a DC motor is an interesting concept. | |
| Rotel Michi X5 Integrated Amplifier Personally, I like the Shahinian's with that. Back when I worked in the industry, we OEM'd a lot of Rotel equipment and it was well worth the price they charged for it. Rugged, it worked, and it was reliable. I think the Shahinian's would be ... | |
| Preamp choice Maybe I missed something but the Progression is more than four times the cost of the McIntosh unit. If that is in your price range, then I would opt for the Progression. If not, there is certainly nothing wrong with the McIntosh. Whether the... | |
| The Amazing World of Streaming Audio - Video Music Interesting indeed. I will have to check it out. I knew about the broadcasts but so far I haven't followed up on them. I will have to check them out. Thanks! | |
| High End Portable Wireless/Bluetooth Speaker I think you are confusing Bluetooth with WiFi and assuming equivalent sound quality potential. Bluetooth is awesome for when the option is either Bluetooth or no sound, but it was never intended to have the bit bandwidth that WiFi has.Assuming yo... | |
| Please recommend a powerful tube amplifier I have no problem with Audio Research products but I have been very happy with the Conrad Johnson equipment I have. I’ve heard other amps but so far nothing has made me say, "It’s time to change..." If your system was my system, I would stay with ... | |
| Bluesound Vault Combined with Node 2 @llarry - Thanks for the updates, this is good info. | |
| Cables for sme 30/2 Only if noise and EMI will affect the motor's PS to cause erratic behavior. In general, electric motors are fairly immune to noise & EMI. Power Supplies are not, but given it is driving a motor, I'd put the money elsewhere in your system. ... | |
| The older Marantz 17 series, anyone still using? I haven't owned one but i do have some Marantz equipment and I am very happy with them. I'd say, if you like it, use it. It's the music, not the gear in the long run. | |
| Connector set screw size? Take them to Home Depot, they have a measurement board on the screw and hardwire aisle, you can find the size there and pick up what you need. | |
| Bryston Bda-3 and Audiophilleo If you are going from USB to the BNC, then it wouldn't hurt anything for sure, and you have to convert the formats anyway. However, if you are looking for a CD transport get one with a digital output and use a 75 Ohm rated cable, since the BDA-3 ... | |
| Tried and true recommendations: headphones, amp, source I use a Wyred 4 Sound DAC with the Fempto clock option. It was a major step up from anything I have heard before, either in my system or at a dealer. It is not the least expensive way to go but it is a good one. | |
| Tried and true recommendations: headphones, amp, source Stax electrostatic headphones with the Stax power supply and amplifier. I used them almost every day when the kids were small and went to bed early. I have an older set, which in today's dollars would be roughly equivalent to the SR-L700 MK2. ... | |
| What DAC upgrade made you say “DAMN, that sounds SO MUCH better than my last DAC”? Wyred 4 Sound, their high end DAC with the Fempto clock option. Blew me away for sure. |
