Hello everyone. I have a question about cd audio. When you look at a cd in windows explorer the songs all show up as 1kb in size no matter what the time duration is. How does this happen? Also why can't you just copy the cd audio track over to your hard drive like you would if you had a cd with MP3's on it. I have never had this explained to me. I have been using direct audio copy but was just wondering why you have to rip instead of just copying the file over. Thanks

I just aquired a Technics SL1350 Direct drive turntable. It turns to slow probably about 25% to slow. I Turned the speed adjustment under the table. No change. I took of f the bearing cleaned and oiled, with no change. The unit looks almost new and would like tp save it. Has anyone had a problem like this with a direct drive unit? Guess I'm looking to find out if there is an easy fix. And if you had one fixec, was it expensive.

Hello, friends. I'm just joining the game, and have been relishing the pleasure of much research, and the piecing together of my first real system.

bhoyo's recent "Classic systems of the past" thread started me thinking about some of the various pieces of audio gear that I've owned over the years on my never ending quest for the ultimate in home audio playback.
