| Sexiest Pop Song Ever? How about Donna Summer's full version of "Love to Love you Baby"?!?!From Wikipedia:The title song was controversial in that it allegedly contained over 20 simulated orgasms by Summer. The actual number of "orgasms" is unclear, but the BBC estimate... | |
| The best USB connection vs high quality soundcard I'd also second Ejlif's knod to a USB DAC. That's the direction I've taken as well, but I still use the U24 occasionally in my second system. Since you were asking about an interface (convertor) I addressed that, but the DAC is a better way to go.... | |
| Will the ipod be the death of the CD? Marco, isn't the iPod digital in/out (the recharging and music loading in/out at the bottom of the iPod box) capable of producing a signal output? Currently it is only capable of producting a line-output, which is marginally a better signal than t... | |
| B&K ST-140 - early lower watt version vs. 105 watt I had an EX140, which was a dual mono-version of the ST140. When I bought it I'd compared it in the store to the ST and found it to be marginally better. I'm not sure if this is what you were looking for.Marco | |
| Your top 3 comedians Joe, you just knocked one of my top three! Steven Wright is one of the funniest comedians ever. DEFINITELY moves into my Number 2. He's brilliant. Here are some more Stephen Wright quotes.Jim Gaffigan is one that would be right up there for me as ... | |
| Will the ipod be the death of the CD? One thing it occured to me now to add to my previous post; as long as iPod playback is limited to the use of it's internal DAC to make the conversion to an analog signal, iPods will be a compromise in terms of any expectations of being an effectiv... | |
| The best USB connection vs high quality soundcard Never used a card, but very much like the Waveterminal U24 as a USB convertor. No longer available except used and reamaindered. Marco | |
| Silver IC's for tubed preamp/monoblocks Quicksilver Audio makes some very nice, reasonably priced silver IC's. I've enjoyed them in that specific connection, which is, I believe, what they were designed for. Marco | |
| Will the ipod be the death of the CD? Good question.Very long answer, but I won't go there. CD = digital music = music broken down into binary code or zeros and ones. You can store those same zeros and ones on any kind of hard-drive or medium that is capable of digital storage. Greate... | |
| Your top 3 comedians I'm going to stay away from the classics, as most kind of go without saying, and are probably nothing new to anyone (I like'em as much as anyone else - how could you not). I'd rather list some more contemporaries who consistently impress me when I... | |
| Audio Icon/Idol - Who would you like to meet? Harvey Rosenberg....Natalie Portman could come with him...and stay behind when he leaves. That's why she won't be showing up next to your system, Albert. Marco | |
| Best I pod docking bases Check out the Monitor Audio unit on Audioadvisor.com for $149. Bypasses the iPod's crappy DAC.Monitor Audio's iDeck may be a good suggestion, but the later statement is misnformation. The Monitor Audio unit does not bypass the crappy DAC in the iP... | |
| Do audiophiles have a high divorce rate? My wife made some interesting points (married 6 years and she doesn't connect with the audio thing at all). There is a profound difference between your relationship with a static object, and a dynamic relationship with a human being. Those who are... | |
| What are the best tube amps for Klipschorns? I got Al's ALK crossover for the Khorns which sounds better. I have never heard of the Crites crossover. Is that better than ALK?"Better" is entirely relative to who's making the call. I can't speak for the Khorns, as I have only had LaScalas. The... | |
| What are the best tube amps for Klipschorns? PS In case I wasn't clear those mods are intended to give you more detail and resolution. They will not necessarily boost your bass response. They may alter the perceived bass response in altering the rest of the range. You could consider replacin... |
