| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers So I am a Harbeth SHL5 guy. Did audition the Devore in a store here in NYC and found they had a plasticy edge to them on voice and in certain instruments. Midrange is too far away from the tweeter (in range - not distance). Just my opinion. What w... | |

| Is a dimmer noisy when it's turned OFF? Zero crossing dimmer is key. Cheap dimmers cause all kinds of noise. Here is what I learned posted in a non audiophile forum...http://www.gearslutz.com/board/geekslutz-forum/838320-buzzing-sound-ferrite.htmlJ | |
| Music Server now bane of my existence You should definitelyp try hi res, sounds amazing. My issue is evidently caused by poor network speed on wireless Mac mini. Plan on trying dedicated wireless ntwk for audio to improve response. | |

| B & K ST 140 repairs Have them check the bias. This happened to me back in the late 1900s when I owned this amp. Bias drift was the cause. | |
| What brand did you leave Rega for? In 1984 or 85 I left my planar 3 for the vpi hw19 mk iii with an sme v tone arm. But the rega was sure fun! (Had a grace 707 tone arm for the rega if I remember the model number right).Was used with a great cartridge - the grace f9e (again I think... | |

| Netgear NAS Incompatibility with Mac OS X 10.68 A couple of issues you should know about. Apple computers don't behave well on a network when roused from sleep (they want to keep the same IP address it seems) and the DHCP server has to re-initiate connections. If you have a copy operation to th... | |
| Music Server now bane of my existence Dogglehowser - what screen resolutions are you using? I agree that when I use my linux laptop wired to the network (Mac mini - brand new and on the wireless) things are better. But the ipad and mac mini combo is very frustrating. When you say scre... | |
| New cart for under 1K BTW - the comment about metal dome tweeters being harsh is nonsense. The Harbeth SHL5 uses metal tweeters and the high end is gorgeous. | |

| Music Server now bane of my existence My disappointment was with the low computational power of the mac mini. Using a VNC connection (VNC server capability built in to the Mac Mini - use something on a laptop like GTK VNC Viewer on Linux, or Chicken of the VNC on an apple laptop as th... | |
| Best value in speaker cables?? Nobody here listens to Signal Cable Silver Resolution? They are less expensive still and the best sub $1000 cables I've heard. | |
| Why does an audiophile grade power cord matter? Photonman - when current is dumped from the amplifier to the load, the amplifier reserve has to be re-charged, and the quicker it can be re-charged the faster it can dump current. This is the reason a power cord matters. Audition a high silver con... |
