Hard drive file management?
Thanks to all for the replies. I have gone through a couple of the tutorials and I think I now have a better understanding. I was expecting a little more from EAC than there is--maybe more along the lines of what Sgs is getting from Dbpoweramp. I ... 
Signal Direction XLR to RCA? Which way?
Hi Rickschell, On equipment, XLR input sockets are always female. Outputs are male. Hope this answers your question. Bill 
Turn off of subwoofer
Hi 7671, The reason for having a sequence is to prevent turn-on and turn-off transients/spikes generated by front end components from reaching a powered up amplifier and possibly damaging the amp or, amplified by the power amp, the speakers. So, u... 
Phono cables with angled DIN for SME IV and V arms
Hi Gundam91, Yes, SME is backwards. When I wanted an aftermarket cable for my IV I ordered a connector from SME, and my local dealer sent it to Harmonic Technology who made a cable with it as a special order. Bill 
Plugs for Nautilus 801s
Hi Illgble,I have ordered a replacement tweeter cover through my local (Portland, OR) dealer with no problems. It took a couple of weeks to arrive, but the dealership was nothing but helpful and friendly. Maybe you should go through another dealer... 
How to replace a B&W nautilus 802 tweeter
Hi Mskvarenina On my N801s, the front of the tweeter housing locks on with a partial twist. If you carefully grasp the plastic around the front of the tweeter "bullet" and steady the rear part with your other hand, the front section can be twisted...

Reason for buying old/classic turntables
I can remember when DD was the main player, that Thorens prided itself on staying with belts, claiming that they could improve any direct-drive unit by adding a belt. 
SME 309 vs SME IV - sonic differences?
Jfrech--I also use a IV.Vi arm, but mine did not come with the damping trough. My trough was an add-on option which wasn't cheap. Maybe the 20/2 table comes complete with the trough, but I don't think that IV.Vi arms come with one.Bill 
What is under $5k speaker with best bass slam?
Hi Dh4kimWill 12" drivers produce slam in a 12 by 12 room? I think that they will, but this is very subjective. How much slam do you want? I think that slam is probably a sort of coloration, but for me it is a euphonic coloration. I like to feel t... 
What is under $5k speaker with best bass slam?
Hi Dh4kimAsking for the "best" of anything will generate multiple impressions. For slam, a driver/drivers with a large radiating surface is necessary. Slim towers with multiple 6 or 8-inch drivers won't do. At least 10-inch driver(s) are needed. T... 
Help with Thorens TD-125MKII
Hi Sabocat59I picked up an old 125 a few years ago to play with and ended up parting some of it out. On mine, the particle board was actually held on by the wood screws affixing rubber feet to the underside. Good luck.Bill 
Biamping B&W 802 with Musical Fidelity and Bryston
Hi Alexv I biamp my 801Ns with Mac tube and solid state amps, and am very happy with the results. That being said, I think that if your system sounds bright to you, adding more power to the bottom end won't change the way your current amp comes ac... 
Which channel gets the vocals on Nowhere Man?
Hi CyclonicmanSince it appears from the responses that things were reversed in your car, the question now is whether the radio station or your car system is wired incorrectly.Much easier to correct if it's at your end. Bill
