I've been searching all over for a nice high res closeup pic of some ML stators to use as a nice background pic for my computer, or even on my blackberry. Does anyone have a good one, or could even make one? I have the mosaics, so I don't have stators to take a pic of. -capT

Hello, I am looking for a way to upconvert some wav files I ripped from a cd to 24/96khz wav or flac files. I can upconvert to 24/48khz with Nero 7, but not up to 96. Is there another tool that will do this? Preferably free... :D Or at least a free trial period. I am messing with Source...

Folks, I am considering buying an HDTV finally now that my 27 inch SDTV of over 10 years has finally passed away... :( In the meantime I have found a $10 open box special, 14 inch Toshiba flat tube that will have to do for now. I am considering either the Sharp Aquos LC-32GP1U or...

Hello folks, I know that this is probably going to be a stupid question, but I figured I would ask it anyway, as the only stupid question is really the one that is not asked. When you have a SB hooked up to a receiver via the coax digital cable, and if you try and play a DTS or DD...

Folks, I had a thread recently about Squeezeboxes, and running it via a NAS box. I have done some further research on the subject and found that it is indeed possible to run slimserver on some but not all nas devices. My wife also inquired about maybe running a DVR sometime, and I thought...

Is there such a thing as unbalanced to balanced cables? I saw something on bluejeanscable.com that seemed to suggest such a thing. http://www.bluejeanscable.com/store/balancedaudio/index.htm (under the "other connectors" heading) I am just curious, would this be useful at all? Would you...

Folks, I had some fun today... I am visting Salt Lake City to see the parents-in-law. My wife and I were out driving around town and I saw a high end audio video store and had to stop. They carried some nice stuff, RBH, Paradigm, Anthem, Marantz etc. Just fun to drool anyway. I asked the...

Folks, I am researching squeezeboxes. I see that a few of you have them, and so after having read the users manual online, I still have a few questions. I see that several of you use a NAS device for streaming data to the SB. Does your computer need to be on to allow the SB to view the...

Hey guys, Not sure if any of you have heard about this, but I found this on Reuters.com earlier. http://www.reuters.com/article/technologyNews/idUSN1721191420070718 Looks like there is a new cd "format" called CDVU+ (CD View Plus) coming out soon. Doesn't look to me to be a big deal, but...

Folks, Here is an interesting article I just ran into, I read through it and thought, hum, I wonder if that means vinyl is making a comeback? I wonder if despite the convenience of downloads, the record companies are succeeding in killing it? I dunno. Check this out and let me know what you...

Folks, Hello, I have been thinking of looking for a good recording of the famous William Tell Overture on either CD, HDCD, SACD or DVD-A. I have found a couple online, like two from Telarc on CD, but was wondering if anyone had any good recommendations of a well recorded version of this song...

Folks, I was trying a while back to see if my Sansa mp3 player would recognize WMA lossless tracks a while back, since it claimed to be able to play WMA, but I guess it doesn't like it. Since then I have heard a lot about FLAC, on this forum and others, and so I wondered if any portable...

Folks, Hey, I was thinking that it may be nice to get an amp to relieve the heat from my 90 wpc Marantz receiver when running my Mosaics and Fresco's. So I figured it would be smart to get a beefy enough amp to work well now and if I ever upgrade to something larger like Vantages or Summits...

Folks, I have been just having fun looking around at different universal cd/sacd/dvda players. I currently have the Pioneer 588a, which works pretty well, but I am sure that there are players out there that probably sound much better. I have a few criteria for a player. Must Play: -...

Folks, I hope you will forgive me for posting this on this forum, as I have also already posted it on another forum, but I was in need of some good uplifting news today, and I found this on the news, and it really made me happy to hear. It is about a man in Poland who has just come out of a...

Folks, I was looking in Audiogon yesterday just having fun looking at some Marantz SACD players :drool: and I noticed a few of them had been modified. I read up a little bit on them, and found that there are places that do modifications on a lot of different kinds of SACD and CD players. I...

Folks, This morning on the drive to work, I tuned into my usual morning comedy show, and they were playing some country music that I wasn't in the mood for, so I changed it over to the smooth jazz station for a moment, and heard this beautiful song from someone named Kelly Sweet. The song was...

Hello folks, I've noticed several times in people's messages or their signatures something mentioned about things called DAC's and cd transports. Now, you all know that I am still a bit of a newbie with all this stuff, and I am just trying hard to catch up on all the knowledge to be had...

I saw this last night on the news, and busted up laughing! This is probably THE most interesting thing that has EVER been on C-Span! Good ol Karl Rove, advisor to the President of the US, doing rap music, and just having a good old time poking fun at himself! It's great to see that our...
