| Amarra for iTunes at RMAF... I have experimented extensively with Amarra, and wouldn't be without it.The best solution I found was to use a powerful Mac (more power is a good thing) with 8GB of RAM (more RAM is a good thing), Amarra/iTunes, and outputting through an Empirical... | |
| Anybody not like Eichmann Gold Bullet Plugs? We manufacture cables, and use three different types of RCAs, after trying many many more.
