ExactAudioCopy ripping software
I've rip about a 100 cd's using the ExactAudioCopy utility and I rip them as uncompressed WAV files. I didn't want to compromise the music quality. However, having read this thread, I'm wondering if there's a way to convert my uncompressed WAV fil... 
Best Live Shows 2006 ?
I'm just back from Bonnaroo, and I nominate Radiohead, with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers as a close second. They really surprised me, as I had never really given them much attention, but Petty's show was scorching, especially the brief set of s... 
Best remote controlled sub for music, will use 2
No offense Orfe, but I don't understand the loigic behind the smaller the room the more you need a remote. Also, the B&W experience is in your room, not his. And unless you have some sort of bass eq measurment devices (other than ears) you wil... 
Thom Yorke's new CD
Nigel Godrich was instrumental (pun intended) in the sound of this album. It should sound great. I preordered it but no delivery today, hopefully tomorrow.The samples I've heard sound quite Amnesiac-like. Allmusic loved it. 
Best remote controlled sub for music, will use 2
If you use a pair of Velodyne SMS-1's (stand alone bass EQ boxes) with any good sub, you get remote control EVERYTHING (levels, crossovers, EQ, EQ points, Q size, slope, subsonic filter and its slope, phase, five settings each, etc.) And it visual... 
restocking fees
Many higher-end companies are seeing that their non-HT products are not finding a market. The local dealers are catering to Home Theater almost exclusively (excpet the big boutiques in the biggest major markets). Some mfg'ers have too small of a d... 
What's your system response on " Feels like home"
Good question. It is well recorded (maybe not mastered to everyone's liking but recorded well, it seems) and would make a superb SACD, plus her first came out within months of its' redbook release. Dunno....Blue Note has dropped the ball on many h... 
What's your system response on " Feels like home"
Warrenh, this thread is about "Feels Like Home". It has not been released as an SACD, only her first was (and supposedly mixed from a 16/44 source, etc). Anyway, I like the warmth of the newest release, but then my system tends slightly toward the... 
sub for $3500 or less
That's my point...use an SMS-1 with any sub you get. It will add 3x to its value and performance in your system.Ted 
sub for $3500 or less
Your budget allows for many ideas, all very very hi-end. The Velo DD line, as mentioned above, is clearly an option. Also, mated with Velodyne's SMS-1 (ouitboard box that is used internally in the DD line, incredible bass EQ for $599, a must) I'd ... 
Radiohead, Night 2 Toronto
Saw them week ago Saturday at Bonnaroo and they were spectacular. I'm 52 and did not feel out of place; I love Radiohead, as do my two oldest sons (one of whom Iw as with, along wih his best college friend, his dad, and a few more of the colege bu... 
Modwright SWL 9.0SE Pre ... your thoughts welcome
I have my SWL 9.0 SE (hotrodded with a few extra Dan niceties) running my Modwright 999ES Platinum SACD/DVD player and soon to be Modwright modified DVD-A player (getting the idea here I like Dan's work), and running it to a Modwright Krell (just ...
