| Airport Express to DAC - Cable Suggestion Your only choice is optical as the USB port on the AE will not support audio. The jitter specs on the AE are not great but Bel Canto claims that the DAC 3 has excellent jitter rejection so this may not be a factor. Many will claim a glass cable is... | |
| Cleaner for volume control Google "wd 40 contact cleaner" and you will find a lot of reasons NOT to use it. I'm not saying they are all valid but if even one of them is it shouldn't be used. I say get some good contact cleaner, why take the chance?Among the reasons I found:... | |
| What should I check out? Johnny Cash's series of American recordings | |
| Help with buzz / hum that's making me insane r Which recordings are you hearing this on? If you could be specific about what you hearing on a particular point in the song I'm sure somebody hear has the same recording and could chime in on what they hear. | |
| My LP couldn't beat my CD, until now Glad to hear you are working your way to audio nirvana but completely disagree with "assumedly minor part of the signal chain........McCormack Micro Phono Drive."The phono preamp is a MAJOR part of the signal chain. Let me re-state that. It is a M... | |
| Help with buzz / hum that's making me insane r Don't feel stupid, feel like you learned something.Could it perhaps be the recordings, I believe you mentioned it doesn't happen on all and it could well be that a particular recording is overloaded. Can you compare one of those recordings on anot... | |

| multiple iTunes libraries, connect to house audio It's going to be convoluted with 3 libraries. Combine the music from the 3 computers onto one (the server) and enable iTunes sharing so all 3 can access it. Get a Nokia internet tablet and use software like Media Maestro to control iTunes on the s... | |
| Best cover songs? Dave Alvin doing Jackson Browne's "Redneck Friend" | |
| LPs to iTunes on a Mac? "GarageBand" came with your Mac and will handle the software but you may want something more powerful. Audacity is a free program that offers a bit more and there are many pro level programs since the Mac is the choice of the pros. The full blown ... | |
| Speakers & the room I agree with much of what has been statedfoam sucks. get the speakers away from the walls more and toe them inTake a look at Eighth Nerve products | |

| Is it good to drive the magnepan 3.6? I have also been entertained by it. You would think that someone who represents Spectron amplifiers would take the time to get the right answer on a basic electronics question before sticking their foot in their mouth twice. His comments about red... | |
| Is it good to drive the magnepan 3.6? Since Spectron gave the wrong answer and after he was corrected insisted he was right with a condescending comment implying I didn't understand basic electronics, and someone else jumped in with a smart ass response defending his wrong answer, how... |
