| Sonic differences between Mac Mini 2009 and 2010? Ldworet, It is true that the 2009 mini had an external power supply, but despite that, we (and many others) found that the 2010 mini sounded better.

| Your experience & thoughts on SSDs for MacMini Perrew, No, I did not comment on the linear power sound quality at all.

If you tested it, it would be great to hear your impressions. We have specifically tested this and found that using an SSD drive helps the sound, even wh... |
