  1. Bienvenuto al foro! (Ho studiato all'università' di Bologna per un anno, tanti anni fa.....Habitai a Verona per due o tre anni -- che meraviglia e' l'Italia!!!! E' un piacere vedere lei qui fra gli amici di Carver e suoni e sistemi meravigliosi!!!) Reese

  3. What is this "record store" to which you refer?????? Some ancient artifact which sadly disappeared some time back?
  4. Welcome aboard, Mike! I started a post and hit the wrong button so re-writing it now. A great group of folks here, generous, casual, friendly, and informed. Always ready to help with questions, technical stuff (you can tell I'm not one of them...), and pointing in the right direction for results and satisfaction when possible. You'll like your gear, I know! Reese
  5. I'm late to the party, as usual! Welcome, Jeffrey, to an awesome forum and collected knowledge, experience, and friendly comrades. There's no going back now, you know.......you've been bitten! Reese
  6. Exact Audio Copy doesn't work on Macs (but might if also using Parallel Desktops Build to use the PC platform) -- but there is Max which is the equivalent software it seems which can work on Mac....and translates to the many formats, too. I have downloaded Max but have no experience yet on ripping CDs using it and converting to FLAC, apple losses, etc. But you more computer-literate guys might check it out for the purpose of putting CDs into a big music library on computer.
  7. There'll only be one wall between the HT and the main system - hope that's thin enough (and you're right to laugh -- it's a frame house with plaster walls, so what's my problem anyway ? LOL) Still waiting for the mini to arrive -- what with the winter storm that hit yesterday and going thru tomorrow with sub zero temps and huge wind chill factors -- well, I doubt it'll turn up for the next few days if the mail/deliveries are delayed due to snow and road conditions. Oh well -- at least I have provisions laid in! LOL And can listen in the meantime to killer sound one room at a time! LOL I was showing some friends around the other day and we were talking about the new AL IIIs in the bedroom -- so I put on a club music CD and hit "play" -- and the first blast (inadvertently I'd left the volume a bit high) nearly caused one friend in front of a speaker to go into cardiac arrest and literally jump away from the speaker! LOLOL Nevertheless, he was mightily impressed after the first fright. Reese
  8. Hi, everyone! Been a busy time lately for me -- and that includes getting closer to starting the big project of converting a huge CD collection,vinyl, and iTunes files into one big digital collection such as Bill and others here are explaining about, using a lossless format through Apple computers. I'm going with a Mac mini and a 1 Terabyte external hard drive (along with the 360 GB internal hard drive if needed) for starters. Trying for a wifi setup from the mini out to 3 or 4 stereo setups - the main system in the living room that Bill D worked on with me two summers ago (has it been that long really?), the HT system with the HD TV serving as my monitor for using/selecting the computer's music collection, the master BR stereo, and maybe another spare system in another room -- and who knows, maybe even eventually it'll all reach by wifi back to the original iMac in my office area with HK Sound Sticks and subwoofer. I bought the Airport Express modules which plug into wall sockets and are then wired out to preamps - but I couldn't seem to connect by wifi to the farthest unit -- hence, going with a middle-placed Mac mini and hoping the reduced stretch to all the wifi receivers will make the difference. Also I want to add on internet connection for the Mac mini (only have one modem right now back in the office area with the iMac) and using the HT/HD tv so I can stream Netflix movies, too and watch from the comfort of my den/guest room using a bluetooth keyboard and track pad for the mini - I really don't want to sit in front of a computer at a desk for the length of a movie! Even with the 24" iMac in front of me. All this will be interesting, since I'm intuitive but not really that computer savvy -- I'll most likely still pick your brains for advice and troubleshooting -- hopefully not for major screwups, though!
  9. Boy, this takes me back to the 60's!!!! The original play, that is. And now a movie that looks like one I'm going to have to see -- favorite and excellent actors. Thanks for the tip, Rich!
  10. And then there is the question "How do you organize your large collections of LPs or CDs?"
