| Why are server setups so costly relative to CDP's? Regards the OP, one can get under 1k with a PC set up, using one of the numerous inexpensive but well regarded USB dacs (which I've not auditioned). But it is worth pointing out that things can add up pretty fast, with cabling, and an external har... | |
| What is your favorite Chick Corea CD/Album? Fans might try "Duet" with Hiromi. She's incredible: "Beyond Standard" with her band, and "In the Garden" with Stanley Clarke arevery fine. Fun footage of her and CC on youtube. John | |
| amarra or pure music..? Dmailer: I have the PM 1.02; is the 1.3 a free upgrade.? Apparently they didn't debug the skipping track problem you describe, b/c I have that too. Had a couple of other guys over last night, and there was a strong consensus that PM is a nice impr... | |
| High End Validation I don't like the Lakers for the title this year. Not even confident they can beat San Antonio. Lacking a certain authority, maybe? J | |
| Review: Swan Active Desktop MKIII (Mark 3) Monitor Mine are set up "master/slave": the unit with the amp runs off interconnect to headphone jack, and then it's a shot of speaker wire to the second box. That's what made me wonder what wire set up could be used; is the III configured the same way? J | |
| what percentage of us really knows sound Not only is Juancgenao brave, he's smarter than almost everyone else in the *whole world*. Thanks for sharing! I hadn't heard, and I think it's pretty cool. John | |
| Review: Swan Active Desktop MKIII (Mark 3) Monitor Not surprised you are enjoying your Swans. I've had the original version for a few years, and find them to be surprisingly musical. Exactly what kind of wiring did you use?John | |
| amarra or pure music..? Have not tried Amarra, which seems awfully $y for software.Pure Music is certainly inexpensive, and seems to makes some improvement in sound for my rig. The visuals for the controls are uninspiring, a sort of kludgy cut and paste onto the iTunes i... | |
| Flexi-Rack Maintenance Question Hey Kenny. I'd not re-oil any time soon. If it was overloaded, let it work itself out. I didn't wax, so I can't say, but one thing I like about the oil is how easy it is to touch up and make corrections as needed. John | |
| Anyone successful in dealing with Tinnitus? David12:Do you have an alternative to syringing for ear wax? I've not had the experience of it aggravating tinnitus, and it certainly improves my hearing, if done from time to time. John | |
| Flexi-Rack Maintenance Question Hi Kenny. I'd expect the oil to as a solvent, lifting up the gum; if you wipe the excess off vigorously, I expect you'll be in a decent place. John | |
| The Harbeth phenomenon I'd take their advice, Banyon; who should know better than these artists how to electronically reproduce their craft?;) | |
| The Harbeth phenomenon EL34:"I'm not saying this to sound superior."All respect, but as I'm sure you anticipated, you handsomely succeeded in doing so. You do raise some interesting issues, though. I'm shopping for a flat screen TV to watch sports. Will LeBron James or ... | |
| Anyone heard/own the North Creek Big Kats? Hi Lake513. Nice system!! :) If I go for the Norths (I'm also considering Salk, Selah, Legacy, and a few others), I'll have Lee Tatlor build the boxes; he did a lovely job on my Eskas. I notice you have a pretty large room and lots of breathing sp... | |
| Flexi-Rack Maintenance Question Hey Kenny. Before trying anything drastic, I'd try some 3 or aught steel wool and more walnut oil, and some very clean rags yo finish. The walnut oil might have gotten a bit gummy, esp. if there was a bit of excess on the surface, which could attr... |
