| External Drive Help Zd542, I disagree with the blanket statement that WD are unreliable. They make some great drives (as does Seagate). The key understanding is that all hard drives will fail eventually.Consequently, an automated backup solution IS A MUST. I recommen... | |
| Best External Drive To Rip A Lot Of CD's with? Are you asking for an external optical drive to read the CD's, or an external hard drives to store the data?Michael | |
| Preamp upgrade from Audio Mirror PP1- suggestions? I've owned an Audio Mirror preamp, and it's a very good performer for the price.You have quite a tall order for $1-2K.Here are a couple thoughts off the top of my head, although they probably don't have ALL of your requirements:Copland preamp (for... | |
| No more room on 1tb hard drive..what's best to do zd542, yes, I have done that. Most of my external drives are from OWC (macsales.com), and it amounts to a few Phillips screws and 3.5" hard drives. You're right in that the exact nature of the external drive needs to be taken into consideration as... | |
| No more room on 1tb hard drive..what's best to do The short answer is yes, you can split your music collection over 2 drives. But I think in your case that might not be the optimal decision, as it sounds like it would interfere with your backup mechanism at the moment.Better would be to get a 2 T... | |
| Need recommendations to replace ARC VT100 MkII I can respond to Bpd24's answer, since I own both the RM200 and VT-100 Mk2 and have for the past few years.The two amps share much more in common than not. In other words, they're not as different as you might think. The RM200 (with 6550's) seems ... | |
| Best HD for music storage/backup. I've been happy over the years with OWC Mercury Elite Pro from Other World Computing (Macsales.com). I've owned several over nearly a 10 year period and have yet to have any of them die on me.Since you're using Mac's, I'd recommend Time Machine (a... | |
| How Things Change In the 10+ years that I've been on Audiogon, I've observed myself evolving to some extent. My tastes used to be described simply as "lean and detailed". I still do appreciate that, but now it's something much more complex like, "Musically involvin... | |
| Another Squeezebox Replacement Thread Hi Cruz,I didn't realize that the audiophile community was reluctant to adopt Sonos. I assumed they were about on par with Squeezebox. Have you found a significant sonic difference between the two?The lack of high-resolution capabilities may becom... | |
| Another Squeezebox Replacement Thread Hi Mapman,We seem to be on similar courses. (And I think you also live in Maryland, if I'm not mistaken.) I've been using the Squeezebox line for the past decade (4 Squeezebox Classics, 1 transporter, and 2 Squeezebox Radios), never with any hitch... | |
| What would you upgrade? I wish I had $5K going nuclear in my pocket.I think your first step is to figure out a direction to head. You seem to want more extension to both ends of the spectrum, if I understand correctly, and more clarity/incisiveness of each note.I'm with ... | |
| Multichannel amp... Rlwainwright, your over-enthusiasm and single-mindedness with Emotiva truly distracts from your posts having any meaning anymore.There, I said it!To the OP, I concur with the Rotel. Their multichannel amps are a good bang for the buck. An older AT... | |
| Is computer audio a bust? The original question was one of sound quality using a computer as a source vs a high-quality CD transport. I believe the answer to that question is "Yes, if the components are properly selected and configured, the computer source can sound as goo... | |
| Paint that helps diffuse sound? Cwlondon, that was kind of my point.Michael | |
