The Concert You Wish You'd Gone to But Didn't Because...
uglymusic replied to Jud's topic in General Forum
I am very jealous! I think Art Pepper was at his very best live, from what I can tell from the recordings ;-) -
The Concert You Wish You'd Gone to But Didn't Because...

Art Pepper in Leicester on his final UK tour in 1982. I was deep in revision for finals. Captain Beefheart at Birmingham Odeon at around the same time. Sold out. Was just too slow. -
HD tracks teases with 24/192

Thanks, guys. I'll give it a go. -
M2Tech 'Young' , Model 5 first listen!

Thanks for that. I'll investigate further. -

That was not lost on me. Back to square one! But at least it should be debugged. -

That comparison is great news, Bob. My Young seems to be getting steadily better with use, so maybe yours will surpass the Weiss, given time :-) -

I'm looking forward to trying this on mine. Keith told me you were having good results from a battery pack, and I've had excellent results running my MacBooks on battery. Is there a pack that comes with the correct lead for the Young? I've done some Googling, but haven't found what I'm looking for. -
Nope. That's not the problem - or is it not the solution? It's the crash that's the problem. The track list is empty, but even if it wasn't AW sits there unresponding until I have to Force Quit.

I have AW 1.09b installed on two Mac laptops, but both copies are crashing as soon as I run them. Just before this started happening, I had to reset my AirPort Extreme, resulting in DHCP assigning different IP addresses from the ones the machines on the network had previously. As my files are on a Drobo attached to another machine (my office iMac) and AW is fine on that one, I suspect AW on the laptops is looking for music files on the wrong IP address. Is there a file I should be editing or deleting somewhere that will restore AW to its previous happiness? Or am I barking up the wrong tree entirely?

HD tracks teases with 24/192
uglymusic replied to One and a half's topic in Music Downloads & Streaming
OK. So HDtracks' entry into 24/192 is a little underwhelming for some of us. Where - if anywhere - is the good music that will stretch the bit juggling abilities of my newly-acquired Young DAC? -

It took a travel adapter that locks the European 2-pin plug in place, replacing the G4 Mac mini with my current-generation MacBook Air and using AyreWave instead of iTunes. I can now do some listening! -

Is that the S/PDIF kitchen sink or the Firewire one? :-) If anything, I should have more bass as my monoblocks should have a bit more heft. But the problem doesn't lie with the amps/speakers because lack of bass is not a problem I have had before. It's something in/around the Young. As we've discussed on Audio Chews, it may be due to power supply problems, specifically to the vagaries of connecting European 2-pin plugs to UK 3-pin sockets. I'm just about to go out and buy some bits and pieces to see if that's the problem. -

Bizarre! It's lacking in dynamics (eg kick drums are being prodded gently), weight and tonal balance here. Strangely, I do seem to have extension, but so quiet you feel it rather than hear it. -

Thanks Keith Happy Haranging! :-)
