| Itunes ? Al's advice is on the money. Basically you have to stash your music files somewhere safe while you get your music drive into perfect shape, emptied and squeaky clean with all the bookshelves in order. So to speak. Then you reformat the music drive... | |
| Complete newbie needing guidance/purchase advice Great progress, Rm9, thank you for the update. Sounds like the New Year is starting well! | |
| Itunes ? Streetdaddy, the "first aid failed" message may be because of the circumstance Al posted on above: FAT32 formatting of the hard drive.If that's the case, I certainly agree with Al that you have much to gain by correcting the situation. Transfer yo... | |
| Amarra 2.3.2 vs Puremusic 1.82 playback software Gnobber, Amarra MINI and Amarra full version sound the same to me. I haven't compared them back-to-back but I've heard them both.The review in the current UHF Magazine, now out, is pretty complete and worth a read. Myself, I like Amarra for the so... | |
| What do you like in an inexpensive tube integrated Or, as in my case, you listen more with the second system because it's in a room which is always available, like a bedroom, whereas the main system is in a shared room like the living room. | |
| Itunes ? Streetdaddy,You're very welcome for the help. If it turns out to be useful, pass it forward when the chance comes up. BTW I see you have a good connection with Herman so all this is hopefully of secondary use.OK, last things first. You can run Dis... | |
| Itunes ? Streetdaddy, I don't know what "music" is on your system. Is it a folder, or a drive, or what? Also, how did you copy your music data to the backup drive?I don't understand why your system is looking for aliases either. An alias is a signpost poin... | |
| What do you like in an inexpensive tube integrated I haven't heard the Stingray but the reputation of Manley gear is unquestioned. Also the EL84 is a very nice-sounding tube.I have heard the Rogue Cronus and thought it excellent. It did sound quite different from the tube amps I own, so FWIW do be... | |

| Good power conditioner for non dedicated line I would have thought that just turning off the table saw would improve sonics ;)The improvement due to any device I could recommend -- like a large isolation transformer, for example -- would disappear in shop noise. A tranny would protect the gea... | |
| What do you like in an inexpensive tube integrated I've been very pleased with my Audio Space AS-3i integrated. Its price new is about the same as your budget. They are rare on the used market though. Re sonics, there's a review in the back issues of UHF Magazine and I agree with what they say. | |
| What is the best DAC under $500? Interesting post from Robbob. I myself wouldn't say most DACs sound all _that_ similar, but IME they certainly start to do so when I try to define the sonic differences between them. However when I'm paying attention to a musical message, my prefe... | |
| Your perfectly produced/performed studio rock song Simon & Garfunkel, Bridge Over Troubled Water, the whole album is perfectly produced.And then there's Sergeant Pepper. Oh, and the Beatles/Martin "Love" album. Haven't heard it on vinyl but the DVD tracks, extracted and played back in hi-res w... | |
| Add a preamp or a whole new integrated An inexpensive preamp is not worth the trouble IME. I think your second choice is the better one. For example, you should be able to get a Moon integrated for your budget plus the resale on the 352.And of course there are other choices; it seems t... | |
