| Flac files on an iPod? An iPod Touch/iPhone/iPad all can play FLAC files with a third party app. The above recommendation of FLAC (the app) is a good one. Another is Golden Ear and YAMP is another. Thus far, none of the above have wowed me. The first two can do 24/96 an... | |
| Tom Waits Bad? I was first exposed to Tom Waits when I was 13 (I am now 35). It was a video I watched on Much Music (Canada's early answer to MTV). The video was engaging and weird, totally off-beat and utterly different to anything that I had ever seen up to th... | |
| Why do some volume controls start at -80db or..? This has been a really useful thread. My HT amp goes from -80 to 0 and I have asked this question elsewhere and have always come up with a queer look of puzzlement from my would-be respondents. Thank you all for the insight. | |
| TV/Audio Stands Site designed for Internet Explorer... man, that says it all. Rix Rax is awesome, gorgeous and no need to be a celebrity to get the top shelf stuff. Oh, and it's browser agnostic ;) | |
| Analog Gurus - What cartridge after Grado Ref 1??? I started with a Grado Prestige Gold, then jumped to a Koetsu Black, tried a Reference Sonata and a Benz Ruby when the Black required a retip but eventually tried a Statement Statement and haven't looked back. No hum from any of the Grados I have ... | |
| How reliable are EAR amps I'm not sure if folks still peruse this thread but I figure I'll chime in. I've owned the EAR HP4 (headphone amp) for 5-6 years now I guess it is. I've also owned the 834p for nearly the same length of time. Both have worked flawlessly and save fo... | |

| New OS/X music player Audirvana I gave it a try last week and I found that it still lacks quite a bit of functionality. Still, it does sound good. Another great player and one specifically meant for audiophiles, it is free and allows the software to completely take control of th... | |
| Why aren't ALL remotes like Playstation PS3 ? "If you play games on it then its a toy, you cant do your taxes on it, you cant use it for CAD, you buy games to play on it.............its a toy.Dedicated players like Oppo load faster and are quieter aswell."Actually, one can do their taxes on i... | |
| Separate Insurance Policy - LP's, Memorabilia, Etc I just upgrade my home insurance. I figure that despite me being Canadian, it will be pretty close. I was told by my agent that, like others posting above, the overall personal property value would cover the cost of the collection if and only if 1... | |
| The Great Vinyl Debate "I buy records for the quality of the first 3 tracks because it can be pretty amazing. The last track is almost always disappointing. I have heard some pretty good tables and at first I think it sounds great but then when I get used to it, it is s... | |
| DEMAND DSD "Doug Sax says he'd rather listen to HD formats available on Blu-Ray than to vinyl.I'll go with Blu-Ray."The problem with this logic (at least to folks on semi-limited budgets) is that each subsequent HD format requires a new player with (cross yo... | |
