| Gremlins Emerge with Switch to Windows 7 Well it seems I spoke too soon, my stuttering and popping in Windows 7 returned today.So I opened this thread to review and went to Sound shortcut on the desktop.Somehow trying to switch between audio devices, I may have deleted something.Now, on ... | |
| Bargain Basement, Giant Killing DACs for PC Audio Sfar,Ah - perhaps I didnt realize that I could also use those devices as a "preamp" of sorts, using the front knob as a volume control with the RCA outputs in the back?In fact, I have a uDAC somewhere in the collection, but had only used it on air... | |
| Bargain Basement, Giant Killing DACs for PC Audio As an aside, I notice that a lot of these bargain basement USB DACs seem to also have headphone amplifiers?Is this because they assume that a significant percentage of people using these USB DACs will want to use headphones?As I go out of my way t... | |
| whole house surge protector? I can't believe I am just noticing this:so it sounds like the EP 2050 - if claims are true - renders high priced tweaky power line conditioners obsolete?Re "aint cheap" I thought people around here spent hundreds if not thousands on voodoo conditi... | |
| Bargain Basement, Giant Killing DACs for PC Audio Thanks for replies so far.Will check out the Aune - that is the type of new, USB suggestion I was thinking of vs say, a used Bel Canto with a SPDIF adapter.... | |
| Best Late Night Low Volume Speaker Podeschi,Just checking out the reviews and price tag for the Beyerdynamic gear, I guess I probably haven't yet experienced really good headphones! | |
| Best Late Night Low Volume Speaker Podeschi and Torono416Thank you for your reply and I am glad you enjoy your headphones.I have never had any super high end headphones, and have always wanted to try a pair of Stax electostatic headphones.But I have had a few pairs of Grados, Etymo... | |

| HiFiMAN HM-602 Portable music player I agree that the iPod interface is a masterpiece.I would also like to mention that I had one of the first Apple Macintosh computers in 1984 and participated in a program at my University to further evaluate the interface and develop applications. ... | |
| John Barry & James Bond Music With the subplot emphasis on good gear and gadgets, I would expect a high correlation between audiophiles and Bond fans? | |
| Magnepan MG 20 help and recommendations Not to invite jealousy, but it would be interesting to hear more about your good deal. | |
| HiFiMAN HM-602 Portable music player So early testing suggests this device has a lot more punch than an iPod, and a smoother and less fatiguing high end.Having said that, file management is a little awkward so far, in that I can drag and drop WAV files from my hard drive, but tracks ... | |
| iTunes File Formats: AAC Protected .mp4 KbarkamianThat sounds like a relatively straightforward solution - thank you.Generally, they are files (and also audiobooks) that I downloaded from iTunes.I don't have a huge library, and in the absence of a WAV option, I think I generally used so... | |
| DEQ2496 RTA and Microphone Techniques Thanks Shadorne.Yes, I did get a short stand for the companion microphone, but otherwise wondered how much the centered on desk vs centered between the ears positioning would affect the curve. | |
| Cars R OK, but what kind of motorcycle do you have Sfar,People just don't get it at all, and in particular how any sane person could tolerate going fast outside in the winter.So I sometimes like to ask them if they have ever heard of the sport of skiing. |
