| How do I select USB out on my computer? My laptop recognized my external DAC without so much as a driver. I dont know if the analog output is still active or not--nor do I care. The USB dac works like a charm and the sound quality is pretty good although not up to a good non-PC digital ... | |
| Line Conditioner:To plug or not to plug Big Amp in For the price of the Belkin, consider at least one dedicated line [3 is better] and perhaps a whole house suppressor at the panel. Few standalone AC units do anything good for most amps, esp. high power, high draw amps such as yours. A few tout "z... | |
| Unable to audition used speakers a problem Lots of reasons starting with privacy/security, lack of front end gear, not wanting the hassle of tire-kicking fruitcakes coming around, and simply wanting a quickly transacted sale. Your reservations are noted but it is an agreement between two p... | |
| Passive Preamp? A search of the archives will yield all the info and opinions you need. Passives can be had cheap enough that an audition in your system will tell you more than any written words can convey. Many feel passives lack dynamics but again, the sonics a... | |
| anyone know these? An older BB says retail was 3K, used value is 1557, wholesale mint is 919 and wholesale avg. is 515. I believe Sumo has some faithful adherents, like ADS or SAE. But the greater value lies with those aficiandos, and probably not the general market... | |
| Pandora drops out Ea, Thx for the tip, I wasn't aware of that site.Pandora seems to be running better, esp. w/ a fresh boot and no other apps loaded. I'm exploring last.fm as well.http://www.stevekrause.org/steve_krause_blog/2006/01/pandora_and_las.htmlThanks fella... | |
| Pandora drops out Reuben, You are correct, I get to the Sprint server via a dial -up connection, at least that's how Sprint has it configured, but it is marketed as broadband and it does run as such. OTOH, I suppose Sprint has their router somewhere in the ether, s... | |
| Pandora drops out Arthur, Thank you for the clarification. It all makes perfect sense now. It's interesting that other PC functions work quite well on the Sprint service. But I understand the b/w requirements of IP radio are that much greater. I'll try it in some d... | |
| The Outlaw ruins X-mas I agree with Mitch. Outlaw's success is based on taking care of the people who deal with them, who are free to buy from any number of outlets. Selling good product cheap is secondary in my view but the customer always comes first, if you want to k... | |
| Pandora drops out Sorry, let me restate. I have no wireless router, simply a Sprint wireless card in the PC that provides IP connectivity. The dac is hard-wired via USB to the PC. Thanks for your input. | |
| Balanced SET? North Audio Herman, Thanks for the straightforward elucidation. This guy must be the PT Barnum of the GWN. His prices correlate w/ Barnum's platitude, eh? | |
| What are the advantages of tubes in a CD Player? An MHZS CD66 player weighs over 30#, has two 12AX7 tubes w/ LED status indicators and a window to see them without pulling the cover, balanced outputs, upsampling on the solid metal remote, and is a top loader to boot. I'm not sure how the tubes a... | |
| Opinions on lower priced digital that can compete Apogee pretty much does it all and has the deepest pedigree, but not as sexy as Stereovox. If the music comes first give them a try. Of course, one may work better than another in a given system. The Apogee seems to work well in a variety of syste... | |
| musical fidelity sound? Ask Stereopile, they're full of it. |
