| Best REEL TO REEL blank tape? .I completely understand the fun of playing around with it and watching the reels spin. I had a pretty nice Teac deck at one time and enjoyed fiddling around with it but sold it when the price of blank tapes got so expensive and I realized I would... | |
| Best REEL TO REEL blank tape? .I'm curious why you want to do this. The tape will be as expensive if not more than the record plus the effort of recording. Tapes also deteriorate just sitting there, records don't. You also need to be concerned about setting up the deck properl... | |
| Music Format, too many? which way to go? .SACD discs are expensive and the catalog too limited to be the only format.Vinyl maybe if you don't need portability and willing to shop thrift and second hand stores. New vinyl is expensive.CD is your best bet since they are very cheap used and ... | |

| What's more important: phono stage or amp .I don't think the intent was dumb, it just wasn't phrased very well. My take.... he is asking if you have to compromise something since most of us can't afford the best of everything, where should you focus your resources? My only problem is his ... | |
| Can a F connector substitute for balun? .When I say better I mean it will get better reception for weak stations, but if you get everything you want with the supplied antenna there is no need to spend any money on a different one. As long as it gets a strong enough signal to lock on it ... | |
| How to connect Firewire Weiss 202 and Firewire HD .Some will argue that having the drive on a different bus than the DAC will sound better but you can daisy chain them if you wish.

| Can a F connector substitute for balun? .Are you sure that's what it says, or is it describing how to use the supplied antenna?If it has an F connector it was surely designed to work with that type of antenna. A lot of receivers/tuners come with an cheap T shaped, balanced antenna made ... | |
| How to Solve Duplicate File Problem on iTunes .When you do a GET INFO for an album there is a space for ARTIST and another for ALBUM ARTIST. Most of the time whoever loads the data for an album with multiple artists puts the names in the ARTIST field. I have a Richard Thompson box set that on... | |
| Audio Delay on iMac USB vs. Digital Outputs? .Why not? You're not an Apple snob are you :>)It runs seamlessly. I had my doubts too but once it boots up it's as if it were one operating system. No lags, no delays, no glitches, no crashes, pretty cool.. | |
| Asynch USB or super clock thru S/PDIF for $3.5k? Converting the usb to audio is just too messy to sound "right". Strange, I've heard a number of USB DACS that sound marvelous. Your blanket statement is as untrue as all horn speakers honk, all tube amps sound bloated, all transistor amps sound st... | |
| Audio Delay on iMac USB vs. Digital Outputs? .I wonder if the delay would be there if you were running Windows on your iMac? I would think not but I guess you would have to try it. I have Windows 7 and Parallels running at the same time as Lion on my Mac Mini and it works very well. When you... | |
| Audio Delay on iMac USB vs. Digital Outputs? .They know about the issue according to this article,,,,,M2TechÂs Mac OS X driver for the HiFace introduces a fraction of a second of delay between the source and output, which means that when youÂre watching film or TV video, lipsync will be lo... | |
