How Do I Point iTunes to use my backup ext drive?
There's no way in the world to follow what you wrote, but here's the deal. I tried it again and it does exactly what I said. I tried it your way and it does not find the song.Preferences I changed in one library were latched and came up that way i... 
How to figure output from efficiency in db ?
.It appears they do take the room into account 1. Convert amplifier power in watts to dB watts. 2. Add the amplifier power in dB watts to the loudspeaker sensitivity in dB. 3. Deduct the listening position attenuation (between 7dB -12dB). 4. You n... 
How Do I Point iTunes to use my backup ext drive?
Thanks for the detailed response, but if I understand what you did the reason iTunes found the songs is not the reason you describe.I think we agree on this but just to be clear; iTunes stores all new songs in the "music folder" that is establishe... 
How Do I Point iTunes to use my backup ext drive?
Rel, I don't mind being flogged, actually enjoy it.I'm trying to wrap my head around this. Please clarify if it's not too much trouble.What were the names of the drives connected including the internal and 2 external?Where did you originally store... 
How Do I Point iTunes to use my backup ext drive?
Yes, I do have multiple libraries and it works quite well. However, I believe you are still a bit confused about how iTunes works. Think about it for a second and let me know if my logic is incorrect......The reason he can't use his old library is... 
How Do I Point iTunes to use my backup ext drive?
Rel, I don't think that will work. Choosing the library file on the backup as the new library will not let iTunes find the music. The library file that is backed up is exactly like the one it is replacing and therefore still pointing to the old dr... 
New to Analog and just played my first record in
Oh come on, don't go away mad. You must admit what you asked for may be just a little bit silly."I don't want to spend that much , but want to be sure I am not missing something special. I would spend $150 or so."The point of your critics was they... 
New to Analog and just played my first record in
OK, here is your answer.For $150 buy a new cartridge. That will have the biggest impact. Unless there is something wrong with the table or the pre you are not going to have much impact on those for the money. Not knowing the age of the cartridge o... 
New to Analog and just played my first record in
So you are willing to invest $150 and want it to beat your $1,500 player that beats $4,000 players. There is a minimum buy-in to get decent analog and $150 isn't even close.I want a car that performs like a Ferrari and I'm willing to go as high as... 
How Do I Point iTunes to use my backup ext drive?
The library file has pointers to each song that includes the exact path to it.It finds the song Cafe 1930 from Al Di Meola plays Piazzolla on my external drive named Music 1 by following this pointer to the song in Music 1/Al Di Meola/Di Meola pla... 
Using a Digital Multimeter for the first time
Sorry you had trouble but the advice was correct. I have made 10's of thousands of voltage measurements on live circuits with all types of analog and digital meters and never smoked anything. Properly used there is no way a digital meter set to vo... 
Mac Itunes File Organization?
I agree with all above except I do believe if you use AIFF it will have tags. Since iTunes and Apple Lossless are the native formats for the Mac I suggest those. Same sound. less space. As stated you can always convert back to wav if you want. 
Using a Digital Multimeter for the first time
There is no reason to shut the amp off prior to measuring. You are actually measuring the voltage drop across a resistor under the cathode that is in series with the tube to give you the plate current. V = I x RYou do want to wait until the amp is...

what are you wanting to measure?
