| Duran Duran plumb new lows in Volume Wars Kinda like stopping at The Olive Garden and complaining about the Italian cuisine. What can we expect from pop recordings? 99.999% of listeners need the volume boost to let them know the "music" is playing. All of pop culture today is one long, lo... | |
| Clement Perry's new reference speaker Don't know Clement Perry personally but reading a few of his reviews leaves me thinking he's a but odd. I can't figure out what his "game" is. | |
| Recommend Me Some Speakers Avoid the Magnepans at all costs. They require too much placement variation and are picky about what drives them. They also have a small "sweet area" and can sound like a transistor radio if you are walking around the the room. Maggies are for peo... | |
| Anyone compare Devore and Harbeth speakers? What new speaker does Harbeth have? | |
| Is anyone out there Biamping their Proacs? A few years ago, just for fun, I bi-amped my Resonse 2.5s with a Cary 2A3 5wt SET on the tweeters and a Transcendent Sound 30wt OTL tube amp on the woofers. My room is 11 x 13.5 x8ft high. It was quite interesting and music was actually very enjoy... | |
| Mac Laptop & Sound Cards Ckorody - Thanks for so much useful information! | |
| Mac Laptop & Sound Cards Ckorody - Thanks for expressing my condition! I'm actually starting to get a handle on a lot of this but am grateful for Audiogon members as the guys and girls at the Apple Store don't seem to understand what I'm getting at - i.e., highest quality... | |
| DAC Recommendations Wow...have I not been paying attention!! | |
| Mac Laptop & Sound Cards Ckorody - Thanks for the helpful info. I'm looking at my notes from an Apple training session about a month ago. I wrote (and remember being told) that the highest resolution is Lossless. I'd thought that was WAV file. However, I asked which setti... | |
| DAC Recommendations Where can you buy a 500gb hard drive for $150.00? | |
| Mac Laptop & Sound Cards Any idea how much more space a Lossless file takes up compared to an AAC? I have a 320gb external hard drive and will be loading about 5,000 songs and 2,000 photos. | |
| Mac Laptop & Sound Cards Wow! Thanks, guys. I actually had the info about the soundcard vs. Mac's internal. I learned that when I had my first One to One at the Apple Store. I think i will try the outboard DAC and a number of other suggestions. I'm getting addicted to the... | |
| Did you see Springsteens latest show??? I had a friendly acquaintance in the 1980s who was the area rep for Polydor/Polygram. He worked with Springsteen on a number of occasions (along with Whitney Huston & John Mellencamp). Wilson had told me number of times that Bruce was somewhat... | |
| Did you see Springsteens latest show??? Anyone else see that Springsteen is embroiled in a lawsuit in which it's alledged he reneged on a horse purchase for $850,000.00? That's ONE horse. And the horse was to be for his daughter!!! Now that's a definite definition of fabulously rich!!!! | |
| Did you see Springsteens latest show??? Martykl - Euorpeans have disliked us for over 200 years. Most recently, they stood against us in the 70s, 80, 90s, and today. And yet, we freed them from mass murdering Nazism and Communism (the most deadly polical and social movement in the histo... |
