| Airport Express on separate 802.11n network? Al, I found this: http://www.amazon.com/Sapido-Dual-Band-Wireless-High-Speed-One-Touch/dp/B0072HO9W4/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&coliid=I2Y685FOL69QGD&colid=41JEAXYNOO5SIt is difficult to find any high power USB adapter because they ar... | |
| Airport Express on separate 802.11n network? Thank you Al, I noticed this 2.4GHz and thought it was misprint. Thanks for the warning. I think there is an order of the networks. Yes, it is Toslink. | |
| Fuses that matter. Good test, good method, good attitude, good system, good to know. I realize subjective nature of this test but my ears and my gear are not better than yours while we're not subjectively evaluating change if there is none (or almost none). Great job! | |
| Idol fans weigh in Joshua got the axe - this show is a JOKE! | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? "for a split-second I thought someone was knocking on my front door"That's price you have to pay for having natural sounding gear. It happens to me all the time, answering door, answering phone. Once, by mistake, I even answered an iron (I hate wh... | |
| Acoustic Zen Adagios help. Take into consideration that AZAs have less common underhung woofers. Underhung drivers have lower distortions (better linearity) especially with large displacements. According to few opinions, I read, they are less dynamic but it might be only pe... | |
| Does one NEED floor standing speakers for HT only? "MIDS are what the floors would be bringing more to the table"That might be true, but for HT you should have center channel that usually has excellent mids. If you already decided to have sub (for special effects), then it might be better to inves... | |
| Fuses that matter. Mapman, you're right. It is law of proportions - I wouldn't pay $100 for the fuse for my $1k DAC but wouldn't hesitate with $10k DAC. Buyer's remorse would be quickly replaced by buyer's denial so strong, that even fact that these fuses have not b... | |
| Fuses that matter. Bryon, Be sure that you don't have any DC on power line. Electrons in the fuse wire don't move with AC (vibrate in place) but with DC they will very slowly move (called "drift velocity") from your expensive fuse into home wiring. Don't let expensi... | |
| Another reason why I like my music server Mapman, I enjoy my system with Airport Express and Benchmark DAC1.Advantage of such setup is huge - timing on computer side of wireless doesn't count since data comes without timing compressed in packets. Type of computer, speed, OS, amount of mem... | |
| Fuses that matter. He also says:"I do not hear more clarity, increase in soundstage or other things many people claim"He also mentions: "we made arrangement with the distributor for some Spectron discount"which sounds to me like marketing ploy."Am I asking to get fr... | |
| Fuses that matter. Bryon, be sure to turn OFF and UNPLUG! Do test with preamp (regulated supplies) as well. Good luck. | |
| Fuses that matter. "Now when I hear a consensus that clear major differences can be heard in a predictable manner, I tend to take more notice"I'm also wary of small tweaks, since my hearing is perhaps less than perfect, but I have to admit that some small tweaks wor... | |
| Fuses that matter. Bryon, Imagine that you listen to your system at 5:50PM to establish a baseline and again with new fuse at 6:00PM. At 6:00PM radio stations cut power in half according to FCC regulations - you detected improvement. Now you test other fuses. You al... | |
| Error correction for Apple Lossless? You can always rip one CD again with new settings and compare. If you don't hear improvement then leave it alone (unless you have pops and clicks). |
