| Component cable for long runs Saki70, I still don't understand your being adverse to HDMI cables because of lightning strikes.If you have a direct lightning strike, regardless of type of cable your components are at serious risk of damage. I'd imagine your best defense would b... | |
| Component cable for long runs I second Cleeds' question: What is the evidence that HDMI is subject to electrical overload?Component video cables are not a complete substitute for HDMI. Yes, you can use the for video signals, but HDMI carries digital audio data as well, so you ... | |
| Transporter not transporting It looks like you're using the analog outputs on the Transporter. See if you can find/borrow an inexpensive DAC and try hooking it to one of the Transporter's digital outputs to try to isolate the problem further.Michael | |
| Preamp suggestions for Classe cap 150 under 1000 Quite frankly, your desire to have a preamp that sounds less "muddy" than the CAP150, uses tubes, and costs less than $1000 might be one of those situations where you can "pick 2 of those 3 things".Aside from the Quicksilver mentioned above, there... | |
| Help choosing an amp for Thiel 2.7s I've heard the Thiels with a Plinius amp (SA-100 I think) that sounded fantastic, so I can confirm that Plinius mates well with the Thiels. It was one of the more three-dimensional and lifelike presentations I've heard over the years.Michael | |
| External Drive Help Rlwainwright, most of the reputable cloud backup services offer options to "seed" the data on their system from a hard drive that you send them, and to send you a hard drive with data for restore. So you can skip the sometimes month-long process o... | |
| External Drive Help Zd542, I disagree with the blanket statement that WD are unreliable. They make some great drives (as does Seagate). The key understanding is that all hard drives will fail eventually.Consequently, an automated backup solution IS A MUST. I recommen... | |
| Best External Drive To Rip A Lot Of CD's with? Are you asking for an external optical drive to read the CD's, or an external hard drives to store the data?Michael | |
| Preamp upgrade from Audio Mirror PP1- suggestions? I've owned an Audio Mirror preamp, and it's a very good performer for the price.You have quite a tall order for $1-2K.Here are a couple thoughts off the top of my head, although they probably don't have ALL of your requirements:Copland preamp (for... | |
| No more room on 1tb hard drive..what's best to do zd542, yes, I have done that. Most of my external drives are from OWC (macsales.com), and it amounts to a few Phillips screws and 3.5" hard drives. You're right in that the exact nature of the external drive needs to be taken into consideration as... | |
| No more room on 1tb hard drive..what's best to do The short answer is yes, you can split your music collection over 2 drives. But I think in your case that might not be the optimal decision, as it sounds like it would interfere with your backup mechanism at the moment.Better would be to get a 2 T... | |
| Need recommendations to replace ARC VT100 MkII I can respond to Bpd24's answer, since I own both the RM200 and VT-100 Mk2 and have for the past few years.The two amps share much more in common than not. In other words, they're not as different as you might think. The RM200 (with 6550's) seems ... | |
| Best HD for music storage/backup. I've been happy over the years with OWC Mercury Elite Pro from Other World Computing (Macsales.com). I've owned several over nearly a 10 year period and have yet to have any of them die on me.Since you're using Mac's, I'd recommend Time Machine (a... | |
| How Things Change In the 10+ years that I've been on Audiogon, I've observed myself evolving to some extent. My tastes used to be described simply as "lean and detailed". I still do appreciate that, but now it's something much more complex like, "Musically involvin... | |
| Another Squeezebox Replacement Thread Hi Cruz,I didn't realize that the audiophile community was reluctant to adopt Sonos. I assumed they were about on par with Squeezebox. Have you found a significant sonic difference between the two?The lack of high-resolution capabilities may becom... |
