Definitive Technology W9 Speaker

[Dane Trethowan]

Here's another speaker right up there with the wonderful B A5 and a7 
speakers.


I've had one of these for around about a year not.

The W9 is bigger than the A7 so you'll need to find a reasonable table 
for this one though it can be put up against a wall as it has no bass port.


The W9 is driven by 6 drivers, - 2 tweeters, 2 woofers and 2 side firing 
mid range drivers make up the set -.


emerse yourself in 180 wats RMS of Digital Amp power.

The W9 cannot be connected to the USB port of a computer but it does 
have a Toslink Digital input, an Analogue Aux-In and can stream from the 
Play-Fi App so all your radio and music needs should be well and ttruly 
taken care of.


Here's a recording of the Definitive Technology W9 in full flight made 
on my Sony PCM-D50 Digital recorder.


The W9 is at the bed head, and I'm standing at the foot of the bed with 
the recorder, yep gold old fassioned built-in microphones used here folks.


You'll notice that I tweak the levels of the recording slightly at the 
beginning of the track.

Help With Tapin Radio Requested

[Tom Kaufman]

Hello List:  Some of you may know, but for those who don't, Tapin Radio has
updated and am just not making any sense as to  how to search for a station!
What I am trying to do is to search to see if a particular station has
updated their link (the station in question is WHFC (the current link no
longer works) I wrote to Tapin Radio, but not sure that I provided them with
the correct info.  So I am trying to figure out how you go about finding if
Tapin has updated a station's link, but am making absolutely no sense out of
how it works with the latest version of Tapin!  Does anyone on here have any
idea as to how I go about doing what I am trying to do?

Thanks in advance,

Tom Kaufman

I,
If you ever want a $400 set of USB speakers, Bose has a good set of PC speakers.
Sound Companion 5
I absolutely love them.

Hi folks,
I am going to have to purchase a new PC. I have some rather old speakers on my 
very old PC, and I’m going to get rid of them. There about half shot anyway. So 
I wonder what folks are using on PCs these days that actually sounds good. I’m 
talking to a custom builder, and he was talking about just the sort of speakers 
that would plug into a line out Jack. I have a pair of b and w MM ones on my 
Mac, those are USB. And I’ve had them for a few years. They are very nice, but 
I’m not sure I need something like that on a PC where I probably won’t listen 
to boatloads of excellent music. Still, regular cheap computer speakers are 
really not what I’m looking for. Any suggestions?
Mary

need any other speaker system it will do what you want and then some lets just

did.

Re: Audacity 2.2.0 has been released

[David Bailes]

Hi Don,
In the case of Audacity, the only two differences between using the
installer and the portable version are:
1. If you use the installer, the installed version is automatically
available to all users on the computer.
2. The portable version does not include a copy of the manual. However, you
can download this separately if you wish.

David.

original message:
I have a related question. I note that there is a full install version and
a portable version of Audacity. I have noted that many programs have
both a full
install and a portable version. So I conclude that there must be some advantage
of the full install over the portable version of a program. If this is
correct, just what is the advantage specifically in the case of Audacity?
