Thanks MajorFubar My title may have been a bit misleading - I was not intending to refer to Bit Perfect the software specifically, but rather rips in general and whether they would still be perfect copies of the actual music if sound leveling was applied. Somtimes the big difference between...

Given the compression wars and the vast difference between volume levels on new vs old recordings, does volume leveling in your software change the actual music in the rip, or is it more akin to moving the volume control?

Thanks to all for the comments and input. Sadly the stereo amp (Anthem 225) does not have dedicated AV inputs so the twin volume control issue described is something I must work around and I had to advance the volume control reasonably far to get matching outputs against the 2807. As this is...

I recall a number of forum members talking about connecting speakers through a stereo amp, so any insight on the question will be appreciated.

Thanks Andy

Hi all, I am looking to comect the pre-outs for L/R fronts from my Denon AV amp to a stereo integrated amp. There are wo questions that I want to check before doing something that may cause any problems: 1. presumably the connection is simply from the front L/R pre-outs to any of the...

As an example of her vocal power & control, I just love the Evanescance / Fallen / My Immortal track :rockout:

So you do agree then that two subs can give a smoother in-room response and that the issue of SPL and depth of sound is down to the comparasin between the Actual subs used. Then back to the OP, will buying two SPL1000 ultra's be better than one of whatever can be bought for their combined...

I got to listen at the local agent to the B&W in-wall subs (with their dedicated 250W amp), switching between one sub speaker (two 8" drivers) and two subs. The difference with both subs running was amazing, not in terms of overall volume, but rather the room filling fullness. For what it is...

Is there any point and, of course, a practical solution? I have a old Intel Celeron laptop, currently using Window XP, which is not really up to doing anything worthwhile as a computer per se - just toooooo slow ..... Without spending any real money, is there a practical solution and any point...

Just remember that for iTunes, and presumably other ripping software, you should be able to configure the file destination as the NAS at the beginning of the ripping process (assuming the ripping device is connected to the same network as the NAS) and then your rip goes directly to the NAS and...

I have never tried a backup over a wireless connection so I would just be guessing (much more of a fan of hardwired connections, except for things like iPads :)) On the Synology you create profiles and permissions for the various devices / pcs you want to connect to the NAS and I assume that so...

Hi BB I am using a DS410 so have gone through the same issues. To get some comfort on hardware redundancy and prtotect against HDD failure in the NAS,use the Synology hybrid RAID which seems to be a fair compromise on the various RAID types. Then plug your other external HDD into the Synology...

Doesn't really matter how fast you can transmit the data if your read / write operations at either end can't keep up - typically this is going to be your overall limiting factor. Even SSD with no moving parts seem to max out at read speeds of 350 MB/s with slower write speeds.

I third the motion :clap:
