| Entry into HiFi I just helped a friend design and setup a Deware Zen and Omaga speakers. What a sound! Defiantely world class performance at a fraction of the price. | |
| Leben 600 with Omega Super 6 or Super 8 The Leben and Omegas sound wonderful together. You might want to call Louis at Omega and try both for yourself. He is a great guy to work with. | |
| Mac Mini versus PC sonic differences, why? Like I said in the first post, it's difficult to do better than a Mac for 16/44 content. It's high quality, very simple and fun to use. The new Mini is a work of art. | |
| Getting Into PC Audio and Need Help For the performance of your DAC, I highly recommend something like the Weiss INT202 or similar product. The Wiess is FireWire to SPDIF.I've also had good experience with the HiFace USB-SPDIF adaptor and the HagUSB. | |

| The Hub: Just how bad is it in high end audio? @Audiogon_bill: I totally agree with dealer service and support. I too, know dealers that go above and beyond to do things that I know they are losing money on. I get disappointed when customers take advantage of a local dealer's time for demonstr... | |
