| Apple Lossless vs iTunes Plus Sfar - Sorry, my bad having misread your post. Yes, either storage medium will definitely eventually fail, no doubt. Backup is the word to live by no matter how your store your data. | |

| Daedalus You can find some input from Dan Wright (Modwright) on the Daedalus RMa speakers on this thread on AudioCircle.Marco | |
| Apple Lossless vs iTunes Plus Moral of story: Backing up hard drive is good. Amen. Another moral you are missing: Store your iTunes library separately on an external hard drive...NOT on your main boot drive, especially if it is a significant size library. You will save wear on... | |
| Apple Lossless vs iTunes Plus We think of CD's and spinning magnetic disks as standards but they'll be obsolete soon enough, just like the analog tape and Syquest and Jaz disks we used to rely on.Ummm, maybe YOU think of CD's as spinning magnetic disks, but I think most folks ... | |
| I am sick of cables I've never understood the objective argument amongst audiophiles, empirical evidence, even if subjective and anecdotal, is much more valuable to me. If someone prefers cable A to cable B, who am I to say he doesn't hear cable A as preferable. Cabl... | |
| WAV or Apple Lossless Encoder? Jax2 - I have been wanting to get Pop Pop for a while so this seemed like a good time. A lot of the music I listen to (50s/60s jazz and female jazz vocalist) often does not have great sound stage, so I thought I would eliminate that variable and g... | |
| I am sick of cables I'm just polishing up the re-write. Eastwood has an option on it and we're in negotitions for a final number. Working title is currently "The Autogonian". | |
| I am sick of cables ...And with their irons holstered the two strangers rode separate ways as the sun set like a sliced cantalope on the horizon. Grown men bowed their heads and removed their hats as each of the gunslingers passed, one heading east, the other towards... | |
| WAV or Apple Lossless Encoder? I don't think it was the use of the adjective, "much," but the use of the word "not". Your post implied the compression was not significant. I'd suggest cutting the file size by almost half IS significant compression, especially given that you los... | |
| WAV or Apple Lossless Encoder? Usarmyvet91 - I think what Brian may have been pointing out was that it saves a significant amount of space (correct me if I'm wrong Brian). You had stated that it "does not compress audio much" which also puzzled me since saving almost half the s... | |
| WAV or Apple Lossless Encoder? However i have found that wav sounds better on some transfers. When you do go with wav its harder to get the art work. Have you tried doing a blind test on those files you think sound better. I wonder how much our brains play tricks on us when we... | |
| Should I mod my original MHDTParadisea or uprade Hmmmm, I assume 4est that you are talking about tube rolling in the Paradisea(?). I'm not familiar with the Monica but I do have a Paradisea and have done some rolling there myself. I can definitely agree that the tube will make a difference, but ... | |

Sorry I missed you when you came through Seattle...did you end up staying...or?Here's a few more to add to Rushton's excellent list:Quicksilver AudioModwrightWright Sound (no relat... | |
| whats the finest recorded cd you've heard? McCondo - Thanks again for the input. FWIW "FatMax" is a group of tools offered by Stanley (CST/Berger), and not an actual product. I use several FatMax products. One of the laser levels I use is this FatMax laser. Is that the type of laser you've... |
