| What's the best software for You have the same problem we all do. It's not iTunes fault, it's the database it draws from. CDDB is really the only game in town and if it's not to your liking you have to change the tags.If you don't care about genre don't use it.WalMart.com has... | |
| Music server/Windows Media Center PC--possible? It is easy if you stick to one platform. The fact that you want to use windows and MAC complicates things. If you want to use media player you should choose a format compatible with it.Macs can read an NTFS drive but not write to themYou can set u... | |
| Crossover I'm using Pure Vinyl to do the crossover digitally with a Mac and a multi channel pro audio interface for multiple outputs.It's a bit of a different approach but the results I'm getting are phenomenal. A few years ago I would have agreed that digi... | |
| Who has found happiness giving up cd player? Oh, for sure, streaming radio is not audiophile quality, but it is fine for background and discovering new music. As for tone controls and EQ and I will have to differ. While many audiophile snobs turn up their noses they are powerful tools when p... | |
| Who has found happiness giving up cd player? Quality? I've spent years building this system with sound quality always the number one priority. Why would you assume it is not? I'm absolutely sure it can be better but I'll put my system up against just about anything out there.. | |
| Who has found happiness giving up cd player? Right, it sure is a pain to have all of my music arranged by any of about 30 different ways (artist, genre, album, etc.) and be able to access any of them with just a few clicks of a mouse and the ability to do this from my comfy chair, the abilit... | |
| Vinyl records Identical??How do you know? I have many of the same title but they are from different pressings, different masterings, different lots of things.. | |
| Billy Bags Cracked Glass I've seen turn table bases made out of wood and acrylic, but never out of glass.Think about it!Just curious....have you actually tried it or just making assumptions based on what you believe to be true about the characteristics of glass?glass turn... | |
| Why is high capacitance good? Do you mean that higher capacitance equates to lower resistance?If so.........wrong.. | |
| Billy Bags Cracked Glass The best shelf for a particular system is, as always, system dependent. There are a variety of high end manufacturers that advocate glass shelves including Naim. Making dogmatic statements like "glass creates all type of problems" is just that ...... | |
| iTunes Windows/Mac interoperability issue That's not exactly correct.iTunes locks onto whatever AM is set to when it launches and outputs that until you relaunch it with AM set to something else.If you launch iTunes when AM is set to 16/44.1 then iTunes will output everything at 16/44.1 a... | |
| iTunes Windows/Mac interoperability issue The mac is pretty smart and should display all rates the attached device is capable of processing. Just because the dac upsamples to 24/192 does not mean it will accept 24/192 data. The manual for the DAC doesn't anything about it though. MF shoul... | |

| Why not horns? Mapman, without saying anything bad about the Heresey, getting a pair to get a taste of what horns are all about will leave you with a very wrong impression of what horns like Macro's, JohnK's, and other cutting edge designs are currently capable ... | |
| Why not horns? Wes, I would if I could. The physics of why is beyond me. I just know I like how mine sound. If you go to the AG web site they have a technical paper on why they are the best but what else would they say?As for conicals; the reason I get from prop... |
