| Economical alternative to Wadia ipod dock? All later model macs have a digital/analog headphone output that will do analog through a 1/8" headphone cable OR toslink with an adapter. It works incredibly well and when using for music you don't actually play direct from your iPod, but music c... | |
| Economical alternative to Wadia ipod dock? Just get a mac mini instead of a doc. The mac mini is $599 and is a full blown computer which will have iTunes in it, ability to act as a music and movie server and he can plug his iPod into it. Best of all it has digital out. | |
| Avalon Mixing monitor plus sub or Avalon Eidolon ? Eidolon. | |

| Upgrade Path what kind of cables are you using? | |
| Cables for Vandersteen 2 Ce Sig II MIT matches up quite well in my opinion. The Shotgun S3 is a fine cable and will bring many years of enjoyment.(I am an MIT dealer, but not Vandy or Belles) Of all the different cables I sell, MIT would be my first recommendation for Vandersteen. | |

| connectng CD player directly to amp, good or bad? In some situations the direct connection of CDP to amp will give better resolution of fine details. Some consider this to be a more pure approach.The preamp system will likely give better dynamic performance with more slam and impact.Those are gen... | |
| best WOOFER ??? Audio Technology | |
| mac min or pc mac mini is a great choice.Only way I would suggest something different is if you are trying to output 24/176. | |
