Re: Further nNotes On the Bowers And Wilkins Z2
Hi! Then comes a question. Are they portable or is it a stationary system? /A 1 dec 2014 kl. 21:43 skrev Dane Trethowan grtd...@internode.on.net: Hi! I did an audio review on this product several weeks ago, I got the Z2 for a Birthday present 6 weeks ago but - up until this morning - I really haven’t had a chance to have a good listen to the product, I’ve been listening to the Z2 system for the last 2 hours and have noticed a lot when it comes to the quality of sound from this system. Firstly let me explain what I did. I have a Bowers And Wilkins A5 speaker system by my bed, this system is striking in its clarity at the top and bottom ends, mid range sounds are pleasantly noticeable. I swapped the A5 for the Z2 and here’s where the fun started. The a5 has 4 speaker drivers - a inch and a 1 inch per channel - whereas the Z2 only has 2 drivers - 1 3.5 inch full range per channel. The top end is still present as well as the mid range and bass however the separation of instruments and vocals heard in striking thanks obviously to the Digital Sound Processing and this really brings the Z2 to life. I think Mary stated on list yesterday that folks in the U.S. can get the Z2 for $149 from amazon? If that’s the case then I would certainly recommend people investigate the Z2 speaker system, for its price its one of the best speaker systems I’ve heard. Yes, I prefer the sound of the A5 given the distinguishing top and bottom factors I mentioned earlier but I’d certainly settle for a Z2 if I didn’t know the A5 existed, 2 words sum up the Z2 given what it is, “Truly outstanding”. ** Dane Trethowan grtd...@internode.on.net Skype: grtdane12 Phone US (213) 438-9741 Phone U.K. 01245 79 0598 Phone Australia (03) 9005 8589 Mobile: +61400494862 faceTime +61400494862 Fax +61397437954 Twitter: @grtdane
Re: new zep air
Hi! Yes that is correct. Evry bose product has gone from the apple store even here in sweden. Not a problem for me as i have a lot of other good stores here. /A 2 dec 2014 kl. 01:29 skrev Dane Trethowan grtd...@internode.on.net: Yes I know where you’re coming from here as I’ve seen the same myself. I’m going on the version I’ve seen at the Apple store which seems to have some differences from the older one. The speaker - whilst retaining its classic Zeplin Air shape - appears to have been redesigned to sound even better. The new version doesn’t seem to have a video out port. The new version of course has a Lightning Dock connector. Now it is also possible of course that Bowers And Wilkins are making a specific version for Apple? That did cross my mind when I saw the lack of information available. Now here’s something interesting I noticed on the Australian Apple Store and I wonder if the Apple Store in the U.S. is the same, the Bose speakers - everything from computer speakers to Soundlink - seem to have disappeared from the Speakers Accessaries pages, wonder what’s going on there.

Re: new zep air
Hi! Depends on how much money you have of course. I can’t because my situation is not that good. Even though i can buy me things i really want. /A 2 dec 2014 kl. 03:25 skrev Dane Trethowan grtd...@internode.on.net: Yes, the review is very much typical of what one would expect from just about any Bowers And Wilkins product these days, I’m trying to decide what my next purchase from BW will be, will I get a Zeplin Air, a T7 or just upgrade my A5 to an A7, the A7 is going to take a while to get due to its hefty price tag but probably very much well worth it, plenty to think about and drool over smile.

RE: Need to makeup some cds.
Good morning Carlis, Its quite simple actually. All you have to do is the following: 1. Insert a blank cdr disk into the cd/dvd drive of your computer. If you get a message that asks you what you want the computer to do, just press alt f 4 to close this window. 2. Now start up windows explorer by pressing windows key and the letter E. Once open, arrow up and down through the list of drives and folders until you find the folder where your mp3 files are located and press tab to open it. 3. select everything in that folder by pressing control A then press control c to copy them to the clipboard. 4. Press shift-tab to close this window and arrow down to the burner drive, and press tab to open that drive. 5. Now, press control V to paste everything in. 6. Press the applications key to bring up the context menu and press T. This will bring up the burn wizard. You'll be asked to name the cd. The default name will be the current date unless you decide to give the cd a different name. 7. Then tab to the next button and press it. 8. A new window will come up asking you if you want to make an audio cd, or a data cd. Windows Media Player is normally set to audio cd by default. If it isn't, then use your arrow keys to navigate to the audio cd option. Then press tab until you get to next and press enter or press spacebar. 9. At this point, Windows media player itself will open. 10. The easiest way to get to the start burn button, is to shift tab 9 times. Once you find the burn button, press spacebar and wait. Do not do anything until you hear the cd drive's moter stop and the cd ejects. Once the cd is done burning, you can press alt f 4 to close Windows Media Player. You should then see an icon on your screen called audio cd E or something similar. Once you find this icon, press the applications key again and press F. You will then see a message that asks you to confirm that you want to remove the files from the temporary area where they had been placed prior to burning the cd. Either tab to the yes button or press alt Y. This will clear the burn list. Now your cd is ready for your friend to play in his cd player, just like a store-bought cd. Hope this helps. Hope you have a nice Christmas and Happy New Year.

Honestly, Tom? I actually think it has something to do with your reliance on Ultrahost more than anything else.

I can host pC-Audio on my DreamHost hosting plan, as i have unlimited domains and unlimited...well, everything. I won't charge you, and we can see how you like it that way. Alternatively, subscribe to Google Apps pro, host your domain there and use Google Groups on said domain, and have rock solid lists for as long as you like. But please...no freelists.

DreamHost has had growing pains in the past. However, I can honestly say that getting an east coast datacenter was the best thing they ever did, because they could more effectively distribute their resources. I have become fond of DreamHost once again, and I've been with them since 2006. Even if not DH, other like hosts would be good, E.G. Site5.

Re: Future Of The PC Audio List
The problem with Freelists from my point of view is the lack of control associated with it. Freelists is exactly that. A free service. You have no idea when it will suddenly go to crap, and then that's a waste of a list...and a new mailing address to remember because you've chosen to move some place else. The domain is just too valuable, and I'm honestly shocked that more hasn't been done with it. If you moved to another webhost with mailman, there's transparency to the user. I firmly believe mailman is not at fault for the problems here. The webhost itself, on the other hand...

RE: Future Of The PC Audio List
Hello Tom, When you say (freelists), are you referring to the freelists.org site where the winamp mailing list and blind tech mailing lists are currently located? If so, that actually wouldn't be too bad. Of course it would mean that we'd have to re-signup for the list, but that's not any problem for me.

This is a good list, so whichever place it moves to, as long as my Outlook 2013 will deal with it, is fine by me; just let us know what we need to do!

I hope you don't go to google groups; google's track record for accessibility and ease of use is, well, not all that wonderful. That's from the point of view of an end user. I have no idea what it is like for a manager. Mary
Re: Future Of The PC Audio List
yes, googlegroups has become more or less completely inaccessible for screenreader users, and it is extremely annoying. I run a group there, and doing any moderating has become just about impossible, but at the same time, for the same reasons, I can't get to anything which would give me any of the info I need to look at moving that group to a more accessible platform either.

Hi, Tom, I see no problem with Freelists. I send and receive quite a few message from folks on that list. I don't have much to say here most of the time, but I do say that your list is a valuable resource.

Hi all, I have a group on Googlegroups. It's accessible but clunky to say the least. This is with NVDA.
