| Celebrity Audiophiles? Do you guys know of any? Carl Bernstein from the Washington Post is an audiophie. I read a bio of him a few years ago that said that was a passion of his. Not sure about his gear. | |
| I need some advice on High End Car Audio... My advice is to have your car 'sound-proofed'. For about $500 you can buy all the materials to fit your car's floor, doors, trunk, hood, and for a little more, your dash and roof. Another $500 and a good auto upholsterer will install it. Just as a... | |
| How do YOU organize your iTunes library? Wow. It works. That is a hidden function. Thanks. | |
| How do YOU organize your iTunes library? Synthfreek,I have been playing around with your suggested playlist method of organizing iTunes. I now see some of your logic.I didn't know about the macro to make a playlist from a selected artist or album and that is very cool. I appreciate that ... | |
| How do YOU organize your iTunes library? "I can type 3 letters of an artist's name that I have dozens of albums of and see all of the albums in alphabetical order...instantly."I can do that without playlists by going to the iTunes search bar, choosing "Artist" in the pull down menu (next... | |
| How do YOU organize your iTunes library? At first glance I thought you wee kidding, Synthfreek. But maybe YOU need to see the light. I have 500gb of music in my iTunes library and I would never waste my time making a playlist of an album. If I want to listen to a particular album I simpl... | |
| How to manage a big itunes library? This sounds like a good solution, and I see good deals currently on that WD Mybook. If you are planning to upgrade your Mac in the next couple of years you may want to keep the following in mind about Firewire drives.Apple just phased out Firewire... | |
| How do I dowload higher rez songs on iTunes? iTunes 'standard' downloads are only 128k. A brief rant (sorry if I'm off topic): To me, this is the biggest crime against music and audiophilia. A whole generation of people are growing up without ever hearing even 'cd' quality music. With broadb... | |
| How do I dowload higher rez songs on iTunes? Even iTunes + ('higher' res) downloads are only 256K mp3.That's somewhat better than their sadly inadequate 'standard' downloads, but not satisfactory for most audiophiles. As Synthfreek said, stick to ripping music from your own cds. I would save... | |
| Why does my Benchmark DAC-1 keep blowing fuses? Thanks folks. I will contact Benchmark. What is strange is that no other components in the system were affected, and for that matter no other electronics in my house were damaged. It may not even have been a surge. Just a momentary power outage. T... | |
| Sharing iTunes files between PC & Mac? Lbrandau,The only problems I have with using my mac laptop (4 year old iBook G4) is that it heats up quite a bit after a while. Maybe the newer models run cooler. I also have only 512k ram, which makes things a little slow when I'm running multipl... | |
| Sharing iTunes files between PC & Mac? I answered my own questions by attaching my second backup drive to my Mac laptop (which is hard-wired to my DAC).The Mac connected directly to the hard drive read the Apple Lossless files created by the PC. The sound quality was SIGNIFICANTLY bett... | |
| Computer output to DAC, which route? Ben (Thesauce),What power supply upgrade do use with your Trends UD-10? I just bought the trends but do not yet have a power supply. | |
| How many LPs is enough? I'm also lucky enough to work at home. My work desk is at the back of my listening room, so I get great sound all day long. I used to listen all day to my digital music collection from my computer hooked up to my stereo, so I would'nt have to get ... | |
| Mac vs. PC differences to Airport Express? Thanks, Mark. I already own the coax cable, so I'll try that first.Steve, would you keep the Benchmark's volume in 'calibrated' or 'variable' mode?Would replacing the stock fuses make a difference? |
