| Confused With Options To Obtain BestQuality iTunes Ryder,Might I suggest upping the RAM on your mini. Memory play is the ticket.

| Confused With Options To Obtain BestQuality iTunes I would not use FLAC if you are going to run Mac. Use the Mac's version which is ALAC. Furthermore, iTunes is not limited to 16/44, but the AE or Apple TV may be. If you run PC, do not use iTunes at all, but some other player such as J River. With... | |

| New op amps, good idea? Oops,I may be wrong in that the crossover is possibly at 70 hz.Another option, and maybe the best would be to eliminate the crossover for the Diva, instead using a capacitor only on the input of the amp on the highs. The slope may be different tha... | |

| How to eliminate TT feedback/vibration What exactly is your wall shelf design- no offense. Otherwise maybe just change where it is at on the wall a little as it may be at a resonance frequency. A photo would help a lot. | |
| Advice: CD's to Hard Drive and Back Again Just use Exact Audio Copy (EAC) on windows, XLD or Max on Mac. There is built in error correction options with them that will verify the ripping. | |
| Clearer sound after reconnecting cables? After you clean them, you might want to try using Stabilant 22. It is the active ingredient in what used to be called "Tweek". It is a bonified contact enhancer used in military, communications and IT fields.It is made by the people at Dayton Wrig... | |
| Cart before the horse or horse before the cart? Speakers first as the amp needs to match the speaker. | |
| Where to get an arm board? Is Systemdek still in business? It really should not be a problem to make. Methinks the hardest decision would be what material you want it out of and where to drill the holes for proper alignment. Since the board is recessed, the edge finish will... | |
| End to All Power Problems Chadnliz- jeez, don't know where to start with that one other than two wrongs do not make a right.As for methane, it is not just a fossil fuel, but is very easy to produce with organic waste products. The simplest example is cow manure. Farms have... | |
