| Amarra for iTunes at RMAF... Blindjim, "bits are just bits" and everyone is entitled to their opinion. I guess that says it all in my opinion. In the meantime, I am buying a 13" Macbook with a SSD drive, Amarra, and a Weiss Minerva. I expect that Window 7 will make MS competi... | |
| Amarra for iTunes at RMAF... Blindjim, you are uninformed about Apple's share of the market for computer over $1000. http://arstechnica.com/apple/news/2009/07/apple-nabs-91-of-premium-computer-market-in-june.arsHas it occurred to you that it might be far easier to design a pr... | |
| What were the best and worst rooms at RMAF 2009? Maybe we haven't come too far in speakers since the '70s, but such older speakers are not to be revered, except for Quad 57s. | |
| Amarra for iTunes at RMAF... Mrjstark, see the review in 6moons on the Minerva http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews/weiss2/minerva.html from all that I have learned, you want to avoid USB2. I am getting a Mac Mini for what the Sonic Studios setup says.http://www.sonicstudio.com... | |
| Amarra for iTunes at RMAF... Yes, Itunes is the control.I talked with Daniel Weiss at the RMAF who was using Amarra on a Mac Mini. He was not concerned and indeed recommended Amarra. | |
| Amarra for iTunes at RMAF... Roccoriley, I read the entire thread and really don't know what to make of it. As an Apple user since the 80s, I don't feel very threatened, but having heard copy protection, I cannot help but wonder if ILock in the Amarra might actually harm the ... | |
| Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments? Dave_b, yes, if you ignore the obvious cable charging, the clear effectiveness of the ARTs in demonstration, and many people's positive experiences with the PowerCell. Also you obviously ignored the extensive discussion on the website of the three... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? If ever there was question with no potential for agreement, this thread's question is it. I was about to add a speaker but realize it is useless. | |
| Amarra for iTunes at RMAF... Amarra only works with Macs. | |
| What were the best and worst rooms at RMAF 2009? Dgarretson, I did not visit the GamuT room until Sunday, but I don't believe any of the first floor or mezzanine rooms sounded at all good on Friday or even Saturday. Some never! The Acapella room, the YG room, and the Synergistic Research rooms w... | |
| Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments? The Basiks at least come with screws holding them to their bases. | |
| What were the best and worst rooms at RMAF 2009? Dgarretson, right you are. Friday is useful only to see what you need to come back to hear, to buy software, and to visit with old friends. It is dead on Sunday night, but there are a few of us still around.Incidentally, this is true at CES also. | |
| Amarra for iTunes at RMAF... Tfl30, is "it" the mini? Drubin, I have heard that you can bypass Amarra on playback. I would suspect that Apple Lossless files would not equal those of no compression files. | |
| Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments? I saw them but had no opportunity to hear them versus the big ARTs. The Galileo speaker wires and ics were their main focus. | |
| What were the best and worst rooms at RMAF 2009? I thought the Vandersteen prototypes at CES sounded better than these production versions, but I might have been an underpowered amp at RMAF. The demonstrator would not turn the volume up much. |
