Synth -- I would have to go back and look, but the style of enclosure didn't look like KRK speakers. Also, the yellow that KRK uses is a little more "sunflower" than the B&W "light mustard." Also, I would peg B&W for product placement in a...

Best bargain find ever ?
I think with the bargain find, we should include the circumstance around it (estate sale, goodwill, etc.) Yeah I'm lookin at you, Reelsmith. ;) 
Music Server Question:
This is a pretty broad question. Are you looking for a broad answer?He needs a computer with a soundcard, a large hard drive, and some software to access his music. The specs on each of these ingredients will be determined by his specific needs, w...

Shazam, excellent clarification. If you're running some kind of digital cable into a DAC (whether it's optical, coaxial, USB, whatever), then something has probably already converted the file format into the 1's and 0's that the DAC needs to creat...

Cat owner wants speakers

What does Jitter sound like?
Shadorne, I like where you're going with this. I think your results would make a very interesting read, and I whole-heartedly support the experiment! I think a good A/B switching with zero lag would be the best way to hear jitter and describe exac...

Rotarius....THANK YOU!!Over-clocked under-flow buffer bits blah blah blah blah...The question was WHAT DOES JITTER SOUND LIKE, and the conversation degraded into a brain battle of engineers. If small amounts of jitter affected sound like small amo... 
Best bargain find ever ?
Last month I picked up a McIntosh MC-2100 amp off of Craigslist for $100. Not perfect condition, but fully functional and amazing sounding.Traded a pair of NHT 2.5's (which I got for $130 from Craigslist) for a pair of Thiel CS 2.2's. I'm still wa...
