| Computer-Based Audio Primer Has anyone implemented a NAS solution in a Mac + iTunes environment? Someone told me yesterday that there are word length restrictions in OSX that make it incompatible with using network attached storage as the residence for your music library, an... | |

| Why do digital cables sound different? Precisely. Which is why it is so curious that digital cables do seem to sound different from one another. | |
| Tivoli Radio??? The Wave radio was pretty much the only good thing about that hotel. | |
| XLR-RCA adapters - which to choose? Now that I think about it, I have to agree with Bwyoung's assessment that the Cardas lend a slight darkening to the sound. That's the Cardas sound and it's amazing how it manifests in everything they make. Or is my mind imposing my mental image of... | |
| Tivoli Radio??? When I was growing up, we had a rather large Zenith table radio. It was in a wood enclosure with small feet. It had tubes of course and was a two-way. A bit bass heavy but, damn, it sounded great.Gunbei, I've had a few of those Protons and gave so... | |
| Tivoli Radio??? I bought a Tivoli clock radio and returned it. Terrible functionality and disappointing sound, but the speaker configuration is different in the clock radio than in the standard table radio. I bought a Cambridge Soundworks instead but I hate it to... | |
| I love my Vandersteen's but . . . . . . . . Since everyone has a different opinion here, I'll add mine. I do think you should first try a different amp and see if more power does the trick. But if you decide to move on, I suggest you look at Green Mountain. Coming from Vandersteen as you ar... | |
| XLR-RCA adapters - which to choose? I once needed these adapters in a hurry, so I bought, as Rx8man says, a pair of el cheapos from a local music store. Later on I got a set from Cardas. The Cardas are very well made, but I never heard any difference. | |

| Anyone heard Harbeth HL5s with Nuforce? Harbeths are not all that picky about amplifrication (I have HL5's myself). Plinius has always been a popular combination with Harbeth. You could get a used 9200 integrated within your budget.The Nuforce would be very interesting to try. If you do... | |
| Apple Boot Camp in public beta today It requires a reboot to switch between OSes, unlike Virtual PC or some of the other solutions that have been offered in the past. But I guess the idea is to give Windows users the option of using Mac hardware more than it is to let Mac users also ... | |
| My first impressions of my Portal Panache I was looking at the specs for the Panache and see that it is rated at 20db gain. This is on the low side for an amplifier (26db+ is more common). Without added gain from a preamp, I am wondering how well this works out. Do you get enough juice fr... | |
| Spendor SP1 and SP1/2 owners... Here's a suggestion. Ikea sells a plant stand in their Lack design line for about $US18. It is 17" high and surprisingly sturdy. I bought a pair to use with my Harbeth SHL5's as a starting point for deciding the exact height I wanted to order for ... |
