My Watch and her ring....

G'day, Just wondering whether anyone has any recommendations for motorcycle IEM. I am considering the Live wires (or whatever their called now fidelity custom something....). Obviously I need something that blocks out quite a bit of noise and that doesn't protrude out the ears to much. Any...

G'day guys, Well my Benchmark DAC1 pre should arrive here on Monday (I believe I am one of the lucky ones in Aus to actually get one in). Anyway, I have a quick question with connections. I am wondering what the best way to hook it up to my set-up will be. Option 1: XLR out from...

I too would recommend the NAD C372.

Save some more and go for the Canon EOS 40D

"I am Sam" . All excellent Beatles covers

What are you going to get as an alternative?

Thanks for the recommendations. I do mainly landscape work so a wideish 17-50 could be the go. How is the Tamron better quality than the the Sigma or the Canon? There's just to much to choose from.

Yes, sorry- 17-85

What is the general consensous on Tamron lenses? I like the look of the 28-300mm XR DI VC as an everyday travel lenses. Are canon lenses that much better?

Wow this thread really does perpetuate the gun toting American stereotype. Each to there own I guess. P.s This thread is not a dig at all you Americans I am just really amazed at the amount of hardware some of you guys own.

While your being so helpful... Which ripper do you use basic, comparison or cd paranoia?

Thanks for that.

Any ideas?

Hi guys. Well after hearing positive things about MAX audio ripper I wanted to give it a go. However, when I check the output to Apple lossless and then go to import the files into my itunes library to use with my IPOD I get an error saying Itunes doesn't support .CAF files. Anyone else have...

I have used HGA interconnects. I loved them. Sold them and now... I miss them . I think they are great. A lot depends on your system and whether you get good synergy.

Is there an EAC equivalent to MAC. What do you encode your cd's as?

Thanks for the reply guys. Overlord.. Will EAC work with a MAC? Also does that mean that I would get EAC to do the ripping and then just import the files into Itunes to synch with the IPOD.

Ok.. So i'm trying to get my head around this encoding and decoding buisness. I'll tell you what i'm hoping to do using Itunes and if anyone could tell me if it works and how to do it would be great. I'm planning on getting an external harddrive and using itunes to rip all my cd's to...

G'day guys, I'm in the market for some new speaker cable and came across the Alpha-Core Goretz speaker cable. The MI-1 and MI-3 look interesting and a little different from most speaker cables. At the moment it's either these or the anti-cables. Anyone had any experience with them? Cheers

Hi Guys, Just a quick question. I plan on making an RCA interconnect with 2 strands of silver and 2 strands of copper in teflon insulation and then litz braided. I then wanted to add a copper braid over the top for RFI/EMI shielding. My question is... Should I attach the shield to the...

I don't suppose you have condisered horns, such as Avantgarde uno? They are quite an amazing live sounding speaker and you can use nice little tube amps. p.s. I have heard the J.M LAB Focal 1027 BE. They are a very sexy, kind of silky sounding speaker, perhaps leaning towards...

Solid core silver and copper for me. In my new speaker cables I am running 4 strands of 18g FIM CCC copper and 10 strands of 24g silver and evenly divide them between + and - . I think the results are pretty good.
