Sonic differences between Mac Mini 2009 and 2010?
The advantage of the 2009 is that there's no internal power mod needed whereas there is with the 2010 and 2011. But what are the reasons for the 2011 being better?

Plinius Int 9200 or McIntosh 6600 for Dynaudio C1
I went with the 6600 but had problems with it right out of the box: triggered protection circuit after 15 minutes and shut down. I ended up with the McIntosh C2300 with great EAT tubes and an Mcintosh MC402 amp that the guys at Audioclassics bench... 
Max length of IC's? Long IC's vs short SW
Thanks for the advice. Any one know what's the max you can go with unbalanced IC's before you run into problems? Can I go 12 feet or should I try to do everything possible (unlikely) to get down to 9 feet? Thanks. 
How much sand/shot to put in Dynaudio Con 1Stands?
Thanks, Meiwan, so do you fill the stands all the way up? Do you know of any concerns about handling the lead other than 1) use gloves, 2) don't let kids get near it. 
Experiences with McIntosh MEN220 Room Correction?

Any one know the file limitations in Ayrewave?

Steve, thanks as always, one last question for me and others looking online to buy a C2 correcting drive that did well in the tests: if I (or other readers) get the Teac DW-2124 SL (which is the one that tested so well at http://forum.dbpoweramp.c... 
Is Itunes OK to rip CD's to AIFF?
Steve answered the following: LD: How do you set C2 error correction on such a device on the MAC? (forgive me, but I've used PC's for 18 years and know them well, but I'm clueless about Macs. Steve: It either does it or it doesnt. LD: I'll be usi... 
Is Itunes OK to rip CD's to AIFF?
Another question from a former PC guy going over to MAC. When you rip CD's to AIFF using either XLD or MAXX, do you get your track names and tags (as in Itunes rips) included? Thanks. 
Is Itunes OK to rip CD's to AIFF?
Steve,I bought a MacMini and as you suggested, I will use XLD with Accurate-Rip to rip to AIFF on the Mac. On the TEAC CD-224E Slimline USB 2.0 External 24X CD-ROM Drive how does you turn on C2 error correction? A link to instructions or instructi...
