I have now had my Touch for coming up to two months and am overall still delighted with the SQ and overall value-for-money. However it hasn't all been plain sailing. Having lived with a Sonos system for about four years now my initial impression is that the Slim/Squeeze/Whateveritscalledthisweek software environment pales by comparison. In short, my impression is that it is clunky, sluggish and flaky. Some examples:

John Wooden was one.

""Be true to yourself, help others, make each day your masterpiece, make friendship a fine art, drink deeply from good books -- especially the Bible, build a shelter against a rainy day, give thanks for your blessings and pray for guidance every day."

I'm sure he was in Heaven before the devil knew he died.

I posted about this in the other thread but it seems to be getting worse. Plus, my fiance notices too.

I've been noticing a wobbly pitch with a older Technics TT that I just got. The pitch control isn't a slider. It's a vertical dial that has no real "centre".

When you look straight DOWN over the platter, you can see the needle from back and for from left to right...I'm pretty sure it's not the record being warped?

Given that I don't know really how these things yet (but want to learn) any tips on how I might fix this?

Hi

Listneing last night to a solo violin fill a large concert hall with the single brush of the bow against a string, it got me thinking what exactly generates the sound in an instrument ?

If we assume that energy has to be transformed into sound waves where does that energy come from in say a violin player ? the phyiscal energy expanded to draw a bow accross the strings is minimal yet it fills the hall with sound ? if this was an amplifier violin it would require many times the electrical energy to create the sound waves ?

Best response from an ump about an error, ever.

I'm sorry it happened to him but I'm really happy to see him be so classy and non-defensive.

Hey, what's up when a digital player starts making clicks in the audio signal at low signal levels?

Quiet passages and fade outs start to get the click click click thing.

The playa is only 18 months old, and sounds OK so long as the signal doesn't get to a lower level.

Piss me off.

I pick it up an inch or two and drop it, but that doesn't help.
