Re: CC EP radio was Re: Looking for a table radio
A very good pocket radio is the Sony ICF-S10MK2 Pocket AM/FM Radio, Silver, which is sold by Amazon for only $10. I have used it for years and it is surprisingly sensitive with decent selectivity. It also seems to run forever on the two AA batteries. Rich De Steno On 5/29/2011 2:02 AM, Steve Jacobson wrote: Dane, I just wouldn't expect this to be a problem with a double-tuned loop.

Re: CC EP radio was Re: Looking for a table radio
Yep, there are some really good radios around but the trouble is its always difficult to find a good one, you not only want something which is good and sensitive but something which is selective. For example the CC Observer radio is extremely sensitive but not very selective so if you're trying to receive a weak station beside a strong one then you may have trouble with the strong station leaking over the weaker one making it inaudible. As I said earlier you do get what you pay for often and the sangean sets are a case in point, I spoke about the wooden cabinet tabletop radios that company makes, they actually build or built radios for CCrane, I think they built the CCrane, CC+ and CC II. You spoke of battery life? That's one very good point about the CC EP, it will run for 350 hours on a set of 4 d size batteries, not bad at all!

Dane and Rich, Thank you for your advice. Dane, if I came across as though I was questioning the overload of the single-conversion unit, please know that was not my intention.

Re: CC EP radio was Re: Looking for a table radio
Hi, All, There is often a price to pay for radio sensitivity. Extreme sensitivity comes at the expense of dynamic range. Better head room can sometimes be gained by higher voltage on the first RF stage. Better FETS also improve the dynamic range.

Re: CC EP radio was Re: Looking for a table radio
Yep exactly so c compremises have to be made, where you can test before you buy or take a good recommendation. All radios have advantages and disadvantages, some have excellent audio but are very deaf, others are very sensitive but have a very narrow band thus are only really good for listening to speech whilst others such as the Sangean tabletop range, CC SW etc are quite a good compremise.

This version actually came out in late April but as far as I know the details haven't been posted on this list. It is available from www.poikosoft.com. Below are the changes for the last few versions of the program: Version 2011.3 Fixed the bug where data error was shown when ripping the last track even there was no actual data error Fixed the bug where and symbols in Output Filename field was not loaded correctly from a profile when other than english-language was in use Fixed the bug where mono input files were encoded to MP3 at double speed because MP3 encoder was always expecting stereo samples Fixed the bug where cursor was not visible in the list editors when other than 96 dpi display mode (Windows large fonts) was enabled Fixed the bug where some multi-language user interface components were translated wrong Fixed the bug where some encoders, decoders, and metadata handlers were compiled with debugging info enabled -> performance improvements ! Added Play in default player on-double click feature (Audio Converter, Metadata Editor, Audio CD Burner, MP3 CD Burner) Adjusted some user interface components default size and positions Updated FLAC encoder, decoder, and metadata handler; compiled with the latest Ogg library v1.2.2 Updated Ogg Vorbis encoder, decoder, and metadata handler; compiled with the latest Vorbis library v1.3.2 and the latest Ogg library v1.2.2 Updated Monkey's Audio encoder, decoder, and metadata handler; compiled with the latest Monkey's Audio SDK 4.11 Re-compiled all encoders and decoders with SSE and SSE2 instruction sets enabled -> performance improvements ! Version 2011.2 Faster startup time, because Windows ACM Audio Codec enumeration moved from on-startup to on-access Version 2011.1 Updated device access layer so that it fixes ripping and/or burning crash that may have occured on rare occasions when there were incompatible drivers in the system Version 2011 Multicore support: Audio Converter can run up to 8 simultaneous conversions Audio CD Ripper runs simultaneous ripping & encoding New audio converter engine: Convert from multichannel files Convert and downmix from 5.1 and 7.1 Convert from all bit depths (8, 16, 24, 32, 32fp, 64fp) Convert from any samplerate Convert to up to 24-bit/192kHz Improved User Interface: Profiles in Audio CD Ripper and Audio Converter High-DPI aware Supports all Windows DPI & font size settings New configuration panes for all encoders Saves the state of the ripper and converter windows New metadata support: Compilation / Part of compilation Replaygain Track Gain and Track Peak All new 24-bit DSP: Filters are applied with 24-bit resolution Supports ReplayGain track gain calculation for all audio formats Normalize with ReplayGain, Peak Level, or Average RMS All filters rewritten and optimized New encoder, decoder, and metadata plug-ins: All encoders and decoders rewritten and optimized for maximum speed All codecs are now plug-in type, they can be removed, added and updated without updating the software itself ID3V2 support for WAV and AIFF formats Plus many other minor improvements here and there Regards Steve Email: s...@internode.on.net MSN Messenger: internetuser...@hotmail.com Skype: steve1963 Twitter: steve9782 To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org

I think knowing there's a new version out there is useful information whether someone has the time to determine if accessibility has changed or not. Besides, he's not the only one who can post that kind of information. I'd also suggest that if you want to encourage him to provide that information you'd do it in a more straightforward and less backhanded way.

Re: Easy CD-DA Extractor Version 2011.3 is now Available
Hi! Okay some clarification. I purchased Easy CD DA Extractor quite some time ago, in those days the software was consistently accessible without a hitch, no need for scripts, apps or anything else. as we've progressed the software seems to have become more and more inaccessible. I'm not blaming anyone for this, the possibility had been put to me that because the way the software was written meant that the software couldn't be accessible? Well i don't know about that, that's something in the "Tech" department . There are other CD rippers which are accessible such as Exact Audio copy for one, I'm in no doubt that other people on list will have a suggestion or two. The other software which springs to mind is Winamp, I just registered my copy and as yet I haven' tried the CD ripping features. As for Easy CD DA Extractor? Well all I can say is that I hope the software does become accessible again, I don't regret paying my $49.00 for it for when I could use it the software was worth every penny.
