High quality music server on the cheap...sort of
Ntscdan I think your situation may be in the minority. iTunes stores my music in the folder structure Artist - Album - Song so I don't see anything convoluted about that, and I have about 1.5 terabytes of files which it handles with ease. I was ... 
High quality music server on the cheap...sort of
If you are so inclined, and I sometimes am, it is very nice to be able to easily go from song to song on different albums as the mood strikes. I didn't see any mention of a backup.You're going to have another month of heavy lifting in your future ... 
High Resolution CD's for 24/96 Format
you can't, all CDs are 16/44.1 
Steam cleaning records 2
Ok, I am going to try and set the record straight and then depart. I apologize since it looks like I have been labeled the bad guy but evidently some of you did not follow the thread very closely. It did not "turn into a personal attack on him" un... 
NOS DAC
what the hell is wrong with this website? I look at a thread that says it has multiple responses but when I open it up there are less. Then I post a response and go back and there are bunch that weren't there a few seconds ago.Could this be my bro...

For the analog purist- to room correct or not?
Jeffrey Jackson at Experience Music suggested I do just that with my system. Triamp using a Behringer DCX2496 and eliminate speaker level crossovers. I must say I'm very happy with the results BUT I'm using a highly modified unit. About all that's... 
Can someone suggest a turntable shelf?
Glass shelves are used on some very highly regarded stands including those by Naim and Wilson Benesch. 
XLR-RCA: Adapters or Custom Cable?
Mr Jedi, as I alluded to earlier whoever makes the adapters should be aware that on your unit pin 3 is the non inverted (plus) output. There are jumpers that allow you to internally ground the unused output pin but not to reverse which is plus or ... 
Deep Cleaning Records With Steam?
Crem, this has become truly bizarre. I merely pointed out that you were spending an inordinate amount of time and effort on this process and now you have turned it into a personal attack and brought your Mother into the discussion. I must withdraw... 
Deep Cleaning Records With Steam?
Well, aren't we a little full of ourselves. St. Crem spreads the holy gospel of steam cleaning and gets his feathers ruffled when asked a perfectly logical question. Were you drunk? Your other posts have been well constructed with few if any gramm... 
Deep Cleaning Records With Steam?
But what about folks like me with 5,000 + LPs or friends that own 15,000 or more of the rarest LPs in the world. How about them? I have several friends (including me) that pay for music advisors to search the world for only the most significant re... 
XLR-RCA: Adapters or Custom Cable?
It is curious that Lavry would detail how to configure the DAC for SE use if doing so will blow it up. Perhaps a clever plot to generate extra revenue by getting people to blow up their DACs and then not covering it under warranty?It is also impos...

XLR-RCA: Adapters or Custom Cable?
The unit will not be damaged, the manual shows you how to set it up. Even if it didn't there is no way to damage the output of a DAC if it is done properly. Anything can be damaged if you don't.Your position is the silly one. How can one listen to...
