| pure ipod dock Hotmailjbc, the Pure online shop won't let me order for shipping to any country outside the UK. Their store finder won't do any other country than the UK, Germany or Switzerland. So, Coffee2, how do I order one for a North American address ? Do I ... | |
| pure ipod dock How do you order one of these things in NA? | |
| PC Audio via S/PDIF question Good to know for sure that external conversion is the way to go. | |
| PC Audio via S/PDIF question The answer depends on the quality of the equipment you have.If you have a very good sound card with S/PDIF out ( Lynx ? ), you're better off using that and a good cable.If your sound card is ordinary, you have to use USB but you will need a good-q... | |
| Addiction to Brand Some of the makes I swear by have already been lovingly mentioned, but these haven't:KlyneApogee DigitalStellavoxWell Tempered Labs | |
| Have you become too jaded with this hobby??? The effect of real music is not to make us analyze and dissect the sound. Music properly reproduced appeals to another part of the brain/body system. So the challenge in this hooby is to build a system that plays mussic. That means finding equipme... | |
| My TT "wish list" Any of the Well Tempered models in the new series would fit: Simplex, Amadeus or Amadeus GTAA. | |
| Optimal encoding for MP3 files I like RW's suggestion. It's great if you can enjoy the smaller files.I discovered I wasn't interested in listening to music (as opposed to spoken word) on my iPod unless the files were 16/44 lossless and the interface was a SendStation line out d... | |
| Question from a 220 Volt country Woops, sorry, got the input voltage requirements reversed. Thanks for pointing out that the sub takes 110V and wears a stepdown, not the other way around.And also, of course, that still doesn't change the voltage in the connection you are proposin... | |
| Can you recommend some classical CD's for me? The MA recording of Bach Cello Suites by Martin Zeller is a great version and beautifully recorded.http://www.marecordings.com/main/product_info.php?cPath=47&products_id=142The two Haydn Cello Concertos, played by Truls Mork on Virgin, are an ... | |
| Question from a 220 Volt country Connect the amp's speaker outputs to the sub's high-level input? Should be no problem. The voltage in the amp's speaker outputs is the same whether the amp's power supply is 220V or 110V. On top of that, you are feeding your amp 110V anyway, via t... | |
| Cable Recommendations for Entry Level I am a fan of Joe Mazzaglia's Auricle interconnects, I think they are top value. Haven't tried his speaker wire, my entry level choice for that would be Audioquest Type 4.When you get your NAD, replace the pre out/amp in jumpers on the back panel ... | |
| Made in Canada conundrum $5.50 a head is not much and it has already been applied to everyone else but Canadians anyway. Heck, everyone has a deficit to deal with these days. Glad I don't have to pay it every time I drive across to ship or receive gear, though. | |
| HD music downloads to iPod? Even compressed into a FLAC, 242 MB seems low for a 16/44 file which is a 1,190 MB FLAC at 24/96.To take an example from my own hard disc, Bucky Pizzarelli's Swing Live album is 1.14 GB at 24/96 and 655 MB at 16/44.1. Those are both AIF.Sfar's poi... | |
| HD music downloads to iPod? It's true, you can't. The iPod won't play anything over 16/44.1. iTunes, on the other hand, will play anything up to 24/192 IME, as long as you have an external DAC that can also go up that high.That said, I have not tried loading a hi-res file on... |
