Musical Fidelity A5 modifications
I got my MF A5 integrated modded by Parts Connexion (via Underwood Hi Fi)... really Liked the sound of the Base unit (I think that's very important--if you don't like what it does to begin with...don't waste your time/money).The good news: The res...

Good to see all the responses...thank you, now I have some additional insight AND have their concert DVD in my Netflix queue... Good Stuff.Definitely don't want to forget the others in the band (drummer, bass player, etc.)...as folks have mentione... 
Maggies with no Sub: Fantastic surprise
I have the 1.6's...I went from expensive truly full range speakers...totally expected compromise. Yes, there is less low level information (but now I'm wondering how 'natural' that was anyway)...but in my opinion/system, it is NOT missed. To my su...

Help - Mac Mini not sending audio via usb port
Just in case...you sure you change your mac prefs to output to USB...it's either one or the other speakers or USB...Go to prefs, click audio, click usb audio Codec...and you should be fine...else I'd double check you DAC is set to USB and not opt ... 
Salvaging worn cd's...
I had little success with mass market solutions such as skip doctor etc... found them to be junk and way too inexact...sometimes left cd worse. Finally found a great solution...been using for years now...it's basically a motor with specialized fab... 
Efficient speaker, big bad tight bass?
I have to agree with Shadorne...When I browsed your post...the answer screamed Legacy...but then you mentioned the weight limit. I know that small speakers can do some porting magic and produce some decent bass...but (In my opinion/experience)...i... 
Ripping CDs to lossless in Itunes.. HiFi approved?
No..nothing wrong with them...and believe me, I wouldn't have tolerated a sonic compromise (and I was absolutely expecting one). Futher, with the added benefit of using the USB connection (if you are using an IMAC...don't use the headphone Optical... 
Jackson Browne's "Time the Conqueror"
re. Kira...Amen, Brother! Was never able to look at (or listen to) Bruce Springsteen the same way again after he trapsed around the country with John Kerry. Before that, I thought Bruce was against the machine, not a particular party. He came acro... 
usb vs toslink?
Big difference...not sure of all the technical issues involved but it's NOT like the old Optical vs. coax argument.... I am using an IMAC and was very disappointed in the Optical output quality. The USB into a good USB DAC is absolutely the way to... 
How big a deal is the 120 hz feature on new TV's?
Maybe something's changed...but not that long ago the 120HZ only pertained to LCD TVs...as there can be some motion blurring without it (really shows up for Sports)... The 120HZ feature resolves one of the few cons of an LCD TV. It's not a gimmick... 
Changed preamps. Seems like less power now?
If I'm understanding your question....Don't know the specs of the PA's you mention but...it's likely an issue of higher gain (i.e. resulting in greater signal strength to the PA outputs) with your old PA. You SHOULD be able to attain the same volu... 
Victor Kalilec Vpk member name on Audiogon passes
Met Victor via a transaction...spoke with him several times by phone...very warm and sincere person...although I did not know him well personally, easy to tell he was a good man. 
IS AUDIO ART CABLES THE REAL THING
Can't remember exactly how I came upon the Audio Art website...but, because of the price and guarantee...Thought I had nothing to lose to try them. Believe me, I'm generally biased AGAINST so called 'giant killers'...I'll give you the short versio...
