    Schiit Freya Impressions and Tube Rolling Thread

    I briefly had a Freya+ here - A great machine, but I'd changed directions for that room's system even before the Freya+ arrived :) But, it had a set of tube risers/ socket savers and experimented with them as I gave the Freya+ a quick trial to assure all was 100% and to see how I liked it. To...

    FLAC

    That's great you have it working,...there are just too many of these little programs to have time to master (and have time left to enjoy the results of what has you doing it all). The *Additional Command Line Options* box for ogg should be : -q 5 -a "%a" -t "%t" -l "%g" -d "%y" -N "%n" -G...

    Best Way To Load 100's CD's onto Hardrive?

    Yes,...this is the kind of direction/help I was hoping for (thanks). I'd even hope to take it further in two ways: 1. Set the EAC to rip automatically when the CD is inserted (if the program is open). 2. Some kind of auto-loading mechanism that could feed multiple (50? 100?) CD's into...

    Best Way To Load 100's CD's onto Hardrive?

    Hello, What Is The Best Way To Load 100's of CD's onto a PC Hardrive? Can this tedious process be easily automated? Is there ripping software that could know to start ripping the CD to hardrive as soon as the tray is closed? Is there a better way to load the CD's than 1 at at time...

    Windows iTunes sound quality tip

    Thanks for the tipEarwax,...I've looked at just that spot on the Quicktime player (V6.4) and I don't get the options you've listed. Just a single option is available, to select the kind of internet connection (and the speed of the connection is selected from a second drop down box - But...

    cord wrapper thingamabob

    The Quick Pinch's are good for managing the extra cable on portable headsets as well as bundling cables together on the home system. They are a vinyl/rubber strip lined with velcro. Half is the male velcro, half is the female velcro, with a short blank space between them (the space allows...

    cord wrapper thingamabob

    There's a simple, fast and easy cord holder/wrap called *Quick Pinch* and I find they are excellent. They cost 5 for $5, so $1 each. It'll be simpler for you to look at the website (they have a short jpeg movie download showing one in use) ; It's a variation on a velcro strip, but a more...

    Tinnitus - Ear Ringing - Progress

    They said the problem is that the *auditory cortex* (what ever that is ?) becomes mixed up ; this doesn't suggest that it has anything to do with the tiny hairs ? At least that was my reading. M. Quote: the auditory cortex becomes reorganised. In healthy people, areas of the auditory...

    XA777ES SACD Headphone Out AMAZING ?

    Placette are known mostly for their passive stereo preamps. Their claim is that they use the best of parts and offer state of the art passive performance . I think their top model can also operate as an active preamp. Given that only the top Placette has a headphone output, and that it's very...

    Have any of you tried the new Sony XA-777ES SACD Player ? I read a report (see attatched thread) on Audio Asylum's Hi-Rez page of the XA777ES's headphone output being extremely good ...I hope this is the case. I've tried the headphone out on the former Sony top of the line CD player, the...

    Anyone use FM tuners?

    Hello , Yes, I listen to both AM and FM . A roof top antenna makes a big difference (*Yagi* type with motorized rotator ...antenna about $80, anther $80 or $100 for the (Radio Shack) rotator , adds to about $250 w/misc. cables). If a nice antenna is an option, then you could go for any...

    Old Cosmic vs New Cosmic

    utdeep, Quote: Are they sonically different enough to merit keeping both of them?? I think you've hit the nail on the head,..the Ety and HD-600 are different enough (both very good, but different strengths) to merit keeping both. If this is the choice your saying ( ? ) : 1...

    Old Cosmic vs New Cosmic

    utdeep, I have a Cosmic Mark II for sale, so you can decide whether I can be unbiased or not ,...but I definitely like the Mark II better. The new features on the mark II shouldn't be shrugged off too lightly. If it was *just* the LED added, or *just* the gain switch, or *just* the better...

    How do I hook up my headphone amp to my dad's audio system?

    Experiment more with the analogue outs on the Sony,...if there are 2 pairs, you should be able to get one set to feed the Headroom amp. And, if trying the Y ...try an adapter as pictured here (rather than a cheap Y cable) Martin.
