| Mac Mini Power Supply Yes, the power supplies are available... but VERY different from what they were when I wrote this article a year ago. Take a gander at the website and shoot me an email and I'll help you any way I can :) | |
| Mac Mini Power Supply A few updates...My high-end power supply is now available. I also have a few modifications under way to allow the 2010 Mac Mini to function with my power supplies.I have had quite a few requests over the past few months about my amplifiers and pow... | |
| Why not horns? I placed my AN15s back in my system and paired them with the Faital driver. The 18s DEFINITELY can't handle above 100hz. They're awesome subs for certain, but midbass is not their forte. The AN15s totally trounce them in terms of naturalness and s... | |
| Why not horns? I have heard of ALE. Though $76k for a pair of drivers is a bit over my budget. And those aren't as high bandwidth. The Faital drivers (got my second one today) sound great down to about 350hz with a 48dB XO filter. I don't think there are any CHD... | |
| Why not horns? I only received half of my order (only one driver) so I'm waiting on the other Faital Pro HF20AT driver. That being said, this single driver in mono sounds the most like real music of any speaker I've ever heard regardless of price. I have it atta... | |
| Mac Mini versus PC sonic differences, why? I wouldn't say that the extra 2gig improves the sound per se. I would say that it increases the processing power of the Mac Mini so that it can do a lower-latency job at processing the sound. That ultimately means better sound quality. Diminishing... | |
| Mac Mini Power Supply By wgscott: "I upgraded from 2009 to 2010 mini the day it became available. It was a huge improvement for video. I haven't noticed any difference in sound quality from the 2009 version (both had stock power supplies and were off-the-shelf standard... | |
| Mac Mini Power Supply It was a perfectly fair question and I answered it.It is also somewhat rhetorical.Why spend $400 when you can get better sound, lower power consumption, and less cables? There is no reason to whatsoever. If all those things were true and you could... | |
| Mac Mini Power Supply Thanks Glory. 813, I'm not sure why you're trying to pick a fight. I've been respectful in answering your accusations here and on CA forum and I'm trying to be as informative as possible in doing so. If you read my initial post I didn't originally... | |
| Mac Mini Power Supply Thank you for posting your comments about the 2010 Mini, I (and I'm sure this goes for other people reading the thread as well) appreciate the opportunity to be able to do more well-rounded research and comparisons.Bare in mind, the 2010 Mac Mini ... | |
| Mac Mini Power Supply The new Mac Mini has a new video chip that's better. So if video is your thing you will get some benefit by going to the new mini for video.I've read that there's virtually no audible difference between the 2010 Mini and the 2009 Mini, both with s... | |
| Mac Mini versus PC sonic differences, why? Totally agree on the wireless keyboard. I use a Logitech DiNovo Edge bluetooth keyboard and it's great. I also use an iPad with LogMeIn Ignition installed so that I can use a wireless touch monitor (which works incredibly well). Then I don't even ... | |
| Mac Mini Power Supply Thanks for the kind words, Earflappin. It's truly wonderful to hear that you had such great results. And that I'm not hearing things!Just an FYI, I haven't sold any PSUs to anyone on acircle. So if they are comparing linear PSUs to a stock SMPS th... | |
| Mac Mini versus PC sonic differences, why? Glory,I desolder the power cable from a stock SMPS OR I buy the one off of mp3car. It tends to be cheaper to buy a supply off ebay and steal the cable from it. I built my own DC cable on my last supply using the wire we use in Mojo Audio power cab... | |
| Mac Mini versus PC sonic differences, why? Core audio drivers in a mac are better than those in a PC. There are less obstacles and processes that the music must go through before it is output to a DAC. Even with ASIO or Kernel streaming the Mac Mini still has less of an obstacle before out... |
