| External Hard Drive Search Frustration. Help I am perfectly satisfied with the Mercury Elite 2TB drives I bought from Other World Computing. | |
| Phono Preamp vs Preamp for a Turntable Some units have an input labelled Phono which is only meant to take the output of an external phono stage--there's no actual phono preamp behind the input jack. However the GTP-400 is NOT like that. It has a built-in hi-level (MM) phono preamp.But... | |
| Plugging modem wall warts into power conditioner? For the high end, try Acopian.For cheaper ones, and sometimes some very good deals, eBay is one place. Another might be a local electronics supply house. For example, in Montreal there is Addison. | |
| Itunes ? If your new HD is a duplicate of the one that's troublesome, and the troublesome one was you main iTunes library disc, then it should have an iTunes library on it.In that case, hold down the Option (Alt) key when you click to start up iTunes in th... | |
| Itunes ? Good advice from Al. One thing to try before you go either my route, above, or Al's, is unmounting the external disk (drag its icon to the trash or use the Eject button), then reconnecting it to the computer. See if the same message comes up. Sorr... | |
| Itunes ? OK Sd, if it were me I would take the external HD back to the original Mac and run a repair utility on it. Use Apple's Disk Utility if that's what you have. There is a chance you can save your music.If you're using Disk Utility and it doesn't seem... | |
| Itunes ? Does your external HD show up in the Finder, when you do command-N and open a Finder window for example? It should do this, as long as your Finder preferences are set to let external discs show up in the sidebar. If not, you can reset the Finder p... | |

Some of us still own one or more.At the time they were among the best of mass-market gear. Sonically ... | |
| Best "small footprint" speaker between $600-1000 Second the Meadowlark Kestrel Hot Rod suggestion, and for your budget, you _might_ even find a pair of Shearwater Hot Rods. | |
| Complete newbie needing guidance/purchase advice IMHO Renaissanceman9, those are great suggestions from Unsound. Stringreen's point about the expense of upgrading is well taken too. At $1K it's a (fun) challenge to put together a system that plays something close to music. At $2K you can get clo... | |
| Record Clamp for Rega TT Michell Engineering makes (or made last time I checked) a clamp specially for the Regas. | |
| Complete newbie needing guidance/purchase advice If you don't mind my asking, I want to make sure I understand what audiophiles are referring to when they talk about 'monitors'.I use the term in preference to 'bookshelf', which is misleading as to placement and even size. A synonym is 'stand-mou... | |
| Complete newbie needing guidance/purchase advice Tobias, do you think that a better initial purchase would be a piece of upstream gear? I suppose either way I'm starting from scratch... :)Renaissanceman9, thank you for asking. If it were me I would spend some money, perhaps $400, on replacing yo... | |
| Complete newbie needing guidance/purchase advice You can certainly spend your budget on speakers first. You will have a lot of fun initially. Then, especially if you have not heard them before you purchase, one thing may happen, and a second thing will certainly happen, not necessarily in that o... | |
| NAD 3020 What to do with it ??? As long as it's still working, sell it here or on a local site for a small amount, or give it away to someone who will appreciate it. |
