RE: Shout out to blind people to use the Harman Kardon HK 3490 or 3390 stereo receiver
yes you are if you have expectations of a high quality stereo receiver that is 100% accessible in every single feature for blind people. That with all due respect is an unrealistic expectation in my opinion. If anyone on this list who is blind and is waiting for such a 100% accessible high quality receiver to arrive, you will be waiting for ever. So you can either take advantage of my experience or keep awaiting for something that is 100% accessible.

Prateek, I appreciate the information you are giving us about these receivers. I guess what I wonder is if you exclude setup procedures from what you consider accessible, are these receivers all that unique? how many did you check out?

RE: Shout out to blind people to use the Harman Kardon HK 3490 or 3390 stereo receiver
I checked out many. I am an audiophile and researched many 2 channel stereo receivers. I did not bother with 5.1, 7.1 and 9.1 AV home theater receivers as that is not what I care about. Just awesome 2 channel stereo receivers that have awesome specs, reviews and power. Oh and that don't cost upwards of a grand. so yes I did check them out and the 3490 shines over all. Check out one of the zero snake oil, zero rhetoric and qualitative mumbo jumbo reviews, measurements and analysis at the below URL. It's a multi page review and test so pl make sure you go through all the diff pages by hitting the next button/links. http://www.audioholics.com/reviews/receivers/hk-3490 Prateek -Original Message- From: pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Steve Jacobson Sent: Tuesday, June 05, 2012 12:20 PM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: RE: Shout out to blind people to use the Harman Kardon HK 3490 or 3390 stereo receiver Prateek, I appreciate the information you are giving us about these receivers.

subsonic music streamer
Hi, has anyone had any success with the subsonic music streamer? It's nice because it doesn't upload your music to a cloud or website, it just takes it from your pc. But when I tried the thing with window-eyes, it didn't really work. I'm guessing it's java or some other gui-based application. But I have 4 tb of music and I'd rather not have to spend months uploading it to stream it. -- Dave C. Bahr To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org
Subscription Streaming Music Services
Hi! Has anyone tried a Streaming Subscription Music Service such as Sportify Premium etc and if so how have you found it? Sportify is the one I'm mainly interested in as it operates in Australia. I was a little disappointed to learn that the Squeezebox app for Sportify will only work on Squeezebox Touch and Radio models, I only have a Squeezebox Boom! but not to worry, interested to hear from others about this. If you got Sportify working then on what devices did you get it working on? To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org
RE: Subscription Streaming Music Services
Spodify is inaccessible to JAWS and apparently too limited to be appealing with Window Eyes.
