I've used Disc At Once burning before and it worked just fine, but now I'm having problems with cd's becoming unreadable at the exact same point on every cd I try to burn. I've ripped 17 .wav files using EAC and all have come out without any flaws. I've burned four copies of this mix, and...

Ok, so my Eastsound CD-E5 has been giving me a lot of grief lately. Sometimes when I insert a cd, it will get to a point where it skips intermittently, then constantly, even if the cd is in pristine condition. But it's not skipping, really. Usually when a cd skips it has trouble tracking and...

Today I stopped by Circuit City to check out some digital cameras. As I've always been a film shooter with operating a full manual camera with spot metering up until now, this was an interesting experience. These are just a few initial impressions. First came the Nikon D80 with 18-135mm kit...

So I was wandering around one of the local high-end home theatre stores when I spotted a huge shelf of components and two 7 foot tall speakers in an adjacent room. I was intrigued. When I entered the room what I saw was awe inspiring. McIntosh everywhere. I'd never seen stereo components...

Ok. So I downloaded EAC which I've never used before. It looks pretty straightforward. But, when I try to get the album information from freedb.org it keeps saying server error. Is freedb.org just not working now or am I doing something wrong? Thank you for your help. PS: Is there...

Are there any bluetooth heapdhones that provide decent sound quality for a relatively low price? I have a friend who just bought a bluetooth capable laptop which she'd like to have headphones for. She also has an Ipod, and my thought was that she should get something like a Sennheiser PX...

What are your thoughts on the Peter Gabriel remasters? I now have all of the remasters for his studio albums and I've been impressed so far. I've still got So and Us to listen to. I'm listening to 3 (Melting Face) right now. Those three are the only ones of which I've owned the original cd...

I'm here at work and I've got two computers that are on the fritz. I came in this morning and one of the point of sale computers would not boot. An error appeared on the screen which said, "1962: No operating system detected." followed by "Press F1 to restart boot sequence" or something like...

I have a pressing of Rubber Soul "Made in W. Germany" (CDP 7 46440 2) that sounds great. It is full, warm, and clear. The following major studio album, Revolver, "Manufactured by Capitol Records, Made In U.S.A. (CDP 7 46441 2 DIDX 1481) does not sound great. It is slightly thin and harsh...

Man, it has been a few years since I've heard this one. I found it in the used cd store a couple of weeks ago. For those who may not know, it's Chris Cornell and Matt Cameron from Soundgarden (currently Audioslave and Pearl Jam, respectively) with Eddie Vedder, Jeff Ament, Stone Gossard, and...

I'll admit it. I love the WB show, "Smallville" depicting the life of a young Clark Kent, a.k.a. Superman. One of the things that had always bugged me about this show was the terrible choice of music in certain scenes. The songs end up being teenie bopper radio rock, nu-metal, or cheesy pop...

Last night I installed a three prong grounded cord in place of the two prong cord on my old Sherwood tuner. I just replaced it with 16 gauge black service cord. Nothing fancy, but looks nice. If it weren't for the couple of wires that came loose from the antenna terminals it would have been...
