| speaker cable static sound The intermittent nature of the problem makes me think its either something in amp, like a switched power supply, or you are getting some EMI. Any chance the "right" speaker cable is running near something like in-wall power line for a heat pump, w... | |
| Computer-Based Audio Primer That is the way I had it set up--the same files on the terastation were accessed by a couple XP boxes, a Mac Mini, and a collection of audiotrons and squeezeboxes. On the Mac side, I think the only trick was making sure the drive was mounted befor... | |
| Computer-Based Audio Primer Ah. Maybe that is why I didn't have a problem. I populated my Buffalo using a Windows machine--all the Mac did was read files, not write. All the ripping/encoding I did was on an XP machine in my study... | |
| HIGH RESOLUTION PICTURES I was kind of shocked at the results... Felt like I was being let in on a special secret.The tutorial itself is pretty well put-together, independent of the effect.Eric | |
| Computer-Based Audio Primer I used a Buffalo Terastation with a Mac Mini for a time and didn't have any glitches. Had about 1500 CDs on the terastation.In that vein, just noticed this guy, which seems like an interesting option, since it includes a VPN Firewall, router, etc.... | |
| HIGH RESOLUTION PICTURES I found this little tutorial on using highpass filters in Adobe Photoshop for web photos to yield nice, sharp results:http://www.dstripe.com/help/highpass/Good luck! | |
| DC cable to trigger Monster Power HTS 3600 People sometimes get abberant results if they use stereo mini-to-mini plugs... You want mono ones if possible. If that isn't it, you may have a bad relay or something.If you have a voltmeter, you might also check to make sure the Proceed is really... | |
| eac vs itunes ripping By all reckoning, iTunes is pretty good. EAC is about as close to perfect as you can get, if used in secure mode. For audiophools bent on discerning the differences between maple and mahogany conical footers, EAC being marginally better than iTune... | |
| 2 stereo amps in a mono-block config = 2 x power? I can't visualize your set up--do you just have the integrated with two stereo amps built in, or do you have an integrated with a stereo amp built in and a separate, standalone power amp? In either event, going from two stereo amps to two mono amp... | |
| squeezebox and home network Rich-No problem. Spent enough time beating my head against these things and am happy to help smooth the way for anyone trying to do the same thing... Think the A'gon private email typically gets through fairly well, and I can respond to you after ... | |
| squeezebox and home network Rich-That looks a lot like what is in my garage. I've got "multimedia" outlets in each room with a couple coax outlets, a phone jack, and an ethernet jack. Each line collects at the panel, and should be terminated so that one jack on the panel mat... | |
| DAC to Amps bypassing preamp: Opinions please Preamps can compensate for impedance mismatches and other things. I ran a dCS stack into an ARC VT-100 Mk III and--even though the dCS purports to be preamp-like and the impedances were within tolerances, it seemed lifeless. I put a preamp in betw... | |
| squeezebox and home network If you are interested in RAID storage, look at the buffalo terastation--1 terabyte (1000 GB) of storage. Think of it as four 250 GB drives. In a RAID 5 configuration, you only get about 700 GB of storage, but if any individual drive fails, you can... | |
| S/PDIF Input Software to trap WAV files I'm not a huge Sony fan, but you only get a rootkit installed if you fire up their player. I've got over a half terabyte of ALAC files on my computer, all ripped from my own CDs, and no viruses to date.I don't think I'm going out on a limb to say ... | |
