| Time to sell my dvd collection? I would sell anything I no longer had any use for. Comparing CD vs SACD/DVD-A and DVD vs Hi Def DVD does not compute. The average consumer does not have a system capable of revealing the differences in the audio formats, doesn't even know they exi... | |
| What format are most people using, and why? Harry, I have been busy putting my CDs on hard drive and up to this point have not really considered putting any vinyl there. I figured my records would sound better played as is without converting it to digital. Other than being more convenient w... | |
| certin speaker makers harder to get dissounts fro Fiddler, They are not colluding with other manufacturers to fix prices; they are establishing what their dealers can charge. Two completely different things. If they want to be a dealer for that product they agree not to discount. A very common pr... | |
| What format are most people using, and why? That makes good sense. I must have been asleep as I missed the part in your post about analog. What are using to convert your vinyl to digital? | |
| What format are most people using, and why? I don't understand why you feel 24/96 wave files are the best. Assuming you are ripping CDs, the data must be converted from it's native 16 bit to 24 bit. Wouldn't it be better to save bit perfect 16 bit copies than somehow converting it? If you f... | |
| What format are most people using, and why? Apple Lossless for 2 reasons.1. like you stated, you can't tag a wav file2. I decided for a variety of reasons to use iTunes on a Mac Mini so that is the logical choice, iTunes won't play FLAC files | |
| What to do with 1,200 CDs I don't need Yes, I agree, at some point the insanity of the legal system makes it impossible to pre-determine what the courts will decide. However, I would equate the buy/rip/sell as being the equivalent of the illegal copying of the circuitry rather than rev... | |
| Is USB overrated as decent digital source? Mr. Stepenson, I'm not sure I follow. Are you saying that the computer with usb interface isn't fast enough?I'm streaming uncompressed data from my Mini to my USB DAC and it works just fine. In fact it uses the older, slower USB1.1 as do all USB r... | |
| Is USB overrated as decent digital source? It comes without screen, keyboard, or mouse but just about anything will work. I bought a 19 in lcd at Compusa on sale for $199, an Apple keyboard and mouse. It will suppost a wireless bluetooth mouse and keyboard but I didn't see the need. When y... | |
| Is USB overrated as decent digital source? I have been studying this for a few months and there are several approaches. Finished products such as Gordon Rankin's Wavelength products, less expensive but possibly as good stuff from Scott Nixon, or the kit approach. Google DDDAC for an exampl... | |
| Absolute newbie question ?? If your table uses a p mount cartridge there probably aren't many adjustments you can make, they are designed to be plug and play and typically the only adjustemnt is the tracking force. | |
| What to do with 1,200 CDs I don't need No, it wasn't a troll. That is what I intended to do until it was clearly pointed out that my intentions were certainly immoral and probably illegal. I agree that the RIAA is out of control but that doesnt mean that everything they stand for is w... | |
| What to do with 1,200 CDs I don't need oops, I hit the submit button too fast.I also still don't see any logical or legal reasoning behind the argument that because each is legal on it's own that together they must be legal. You argue that since copying for your own use is legal, and s... | |
| Led Zeppelin Classic Records 45 series -Am I nuts? These are re-mastered, just not re-mastered again after they did the 33's. The ad says they were cut at the same time as the 33 series using those re-masters. | |
| What to do with 1,200 CDs I don't need Zaikeman, the courts have ruled that it is legal to tape off the air for your own use. However, you don't have any right to distribute that copy just as you don't have any right to distribute digital files via the internet, the "new radio." The go... |
