| Slim Devices SB3 external hard drive I use a pair of 500 GB LaCie d2 quadra drives--one for storage and one for backup. I have them connected to my macbook via firewire for the storage drive and USB 2 for the backup. I've had them for about six months and so far no problems with eith... | |
| Top 5 Song Writers Of The 80's So many great songwriters in the 80s that were also writing great songs in the 60s, 70s, 90s, and now (e.g. David Bowie). For songwriters generally associated with the 80s, however, I might also add in no particular order:-Andy Partridge (XTC)-Chr... | |
| McCormack DNA-1 Preamp Thanks to both for your suggestions. I was looking at passive pres-particularly the Placette and Sonic Euphoria but the new prices are a bit out of my range and they rarely come up for sale used on Agon. If I go the passive linestage route I would... | |

| Minimax CD vs. Njoe Tjoeb w/upsampler Interesting to hear your dissatisfaction with minimax and 6922s. I wonder if the imbalance is particular to that combination or would also be the case with other tubes like the 7308... | |
| Which CD player? I've also owned both the Cambridge and a modded Cd-25 in my search for the most musical budget player out there. I ended up with the Njoe Tjoeb 4000 which IMHO is at least a step above in all respects for about the same price. | |
| Equipment Rack Configuration..? Thanks much for your responses. It sounds like there really isn't an 'electronic' basis for rack configuration and it esentially comes down to ergonomics. I recently replaced a remote controlled pre with the AI Mod 3 (which sadly has no remote but... | |
| Questions on Totem Hawks & Von Schweikert VR2 I have a pair of Hawks in a room approximately your same size with the speakers about 18" out from the back wall. My listening area is actually a bit far from the speakers (around 15'). Despite the less than ideal listening set up, the Hawks still... |
