| proac tablette - signatures / rainmakers, et al I've heard both of those speakers. They have very different presentations. I had the Proac Tablette 2000 monitors for a while, and while their detail is good, I found them very uninvolving and "dry". They lacked organic texture to the music. I was... | |
| Vacuum tube preamp? I agree with Jdombrow, you should try borrowing one and see if the sound works for you. The "warm tube sound" is a generalization. There are incredibly transparent tube preamps, and very warm,rich, syrupy ones. And everything in between.If you don... | |
| External HD question Mwheelerk, I looked at the Bryston product you mentioned on their website. It seems interesting, but I don't think it's what the OP is going for. For one, it costs north of $2000, and still requires a computer to rip CD's and tag music and collect... | |
| External HD question Dcowen, that's pretty much exactly what I do. I use a computer I built several years ago from a few parts from Newegg for $4-500 or so, and run Linux. It runs the Logitech media server and has worked flawlessly for years.But the Mac Mini is a slic... | |
| External HD question My understanding is that the squeezebox touch can use certain NAS units (external hard drives with some networking logic incorporated into it) and remove the need for a computer. Otherwise, the server software runs on just about any computer and o... | |
| External HD question The Mac Mini is actually a pretty cost-effective music server with good performance, so I wouldn't just dismiss it out of hand.The easiest and most cost-effective solution, though, I feel is the Squeezebox. I'm a huge fan of them, and have several... | |
| Jolida 302B speaker recommendation 12/2/2011 It depends on the type of sound you're looking for. Most people would say that you're going about this backwards, and should choose the speaker first, then an amp that mates well with it.That said, the best pairing i've heard with the 302b is the ... | |
| Can Audio Physics be run on low power tubes? Chazzbo, Audio Physic Tempo's sound fine at lower volumes. I have a pair (the original Tempo's).They also sound fine with tubes. I'm currently using them with a Music Reference RM-200 and an Audio Research VT-100 Mk2, but prior to that I drove the... | |
| Question about iPad and Squeezebox touch Yes, just install the Logitech Squeezebox Server software on your PC, and use the iPad app to reference the Squeezebox server. You should then have full control over the music. I do just that, although my server is on a Linux box, but that shouldn... | |
| Need advise on Oscilloscope Get an old Tektronix from ebay. They are solid units that will do what you need, and won't cost a fortune.Michael | |
| Natural, musical, dynamic phono preamp 700 used I have both the GCPH and Dynavector. The GCPH is more versatile, and, most importantly for me, has balanced outputs. But overall I prefer the sound from the Dynavector. It's more engaging and organic.My vote is for the Dynavector; it's a great val... | |
| Mac Mini vs. Macbook Pro as a server I'm confused by the discussion of using a Macbook Pro vs a Mac Mini as a music server. Laptops in general aren't designed to be 24/7 servers; they are designed to be portable and intermittently used. Most laptops go to sleep when you close the scr... | |
| Phonograph preamplifier recommendation I have both the PS GCPH and the Dynavector P75. The GCPH is more flexible and has balanced outputs, which is key for my system, as my preamp has only balanced connections. But in many ways I think the sound from the P75 is better, and it's availab... | |
| "Hidden Gems"' Dick,Your description of Back to the Fluture sounds just like something I would be interested in. I did a quick Google search and it wasn't obvious where I could get a CD of it.Do you know of a source?Thanks,Michael | |
| New to computer audio and simple question.... I have been very happy with Logitech Squeezeboxes. Assuming your DAC has S/PDIF inputs (either coax or Toslink), it should work well for you. And they have both wired and wireless connections, so you can upgrade later to wired ethernet.Michael |
