Melody Gardot coming to Philly
And yes, I should have posted this under "music". 
Melody Gardot coming to Philly
Donjr: I wish it was closer for you but hey, at least you're getting a chance to see her. She is truly amazing. Like I said, she has different arrangements live than what's on her albums. On one song, instead of playing the keys of the piano, she ... 
Recommended USB- SPDIF converter for Metrum Octave
Elberoth2: How do you change the buffer size? Do I go in Midi or something else? Is it done in PureMusic? I think PureMusic may be the problem I had with using my M2Tech HiFace2. So, buffer size in what? Where? 
So Many Apogees for sale, and so few takers

Speakers to pair with a Red Wine Audio Sig 15
IMO, you really have the wrong amp for your musical tastes. With only 15 watts into 8 ohms, you've painted yourself into a corner regarding speaker options. I wouldn't have reservations playing jazz or chamber music on 15 watts, but you listen to ... 
Should Sound Quality of Computer Audio be improved
omg. Lmao! I want this thread to stay alive as badly as comedians want four more years of George W. Bush. PO: I honestly believe you are out there....way out there.....like Pluto out there. Not because I disagree with what you say, but because you... 
Kimber Kable:Spker Cable: Which offers best sound?
I replaced Kimber Select 3035 speaker cable and the top Select interconnect with Crimson Cables at a fraction of the cost. YMMV. 
Your First System
1989, I was 14. Kenwood cdp, techniques turntable, Pioneer receiver, Advent BabyII speakers. And like the OP, I felt like the biggest badass on the block.
