| External hard drive for expanding iTunes library? Just in case anyone is interested, I called up G-Tech Customer Support and asked some questions about the drive. Of potential interest to Agon members, this is what they said:1. The drive noise is due to the five platters, which are spinning at th... | |
| External hard drive for expanding iTunes library? Mine runs very cool as well. The only criticism I have of the drive is the noise level. | |
| External hard drive for expanding iTunes library? I have had the drive about 6 months and I don't think it has gotten quieter. In fact, I've grown more sensitive to the sound, so it sounds louder, even though it probably isn't. I have it sitting next to my computer on the top of a desk. When I'm ... | |
| External hard drive for expanding iTunes library? I'm coming to this thread late, but I have a G-Drive 500G Q Drive to hold music files and use as a back up for my Mac Powerbook and Macbook Pro. I bought it for speed (FW800), reliability, and because it is fanless. I've been happy with the speed ... | |
| DIY Interconnects review Thank you for this thread. This is the most informative and interesting thread I've read on DIY wires. | |
| Walker Audio Prelude LP Cleaning Solution Slipknot, Great review. I just ordered some of the Walker fluid to give it a try. Previously, I've only used Disc Doctor, so it should be a pretty nice upgrade. Just curious, do you think the Walker superclean water could be substituted with the b... | |
| USB into DAC vs Airport Express into DAC Your question needs some context. It all depends on your system and your expectations. If you just want to spend $129 on your digital front end (in other words, the cost of the Airport Express), then I think the AE is the best thing I've found. Th... | |
| Cartridge/RFI I'm not a technical guy, but touching and moving the cables and equipment can affect the RFI. When I had the buzz the same thing happened. I think it is similar to an FM antenna when you move it around. Since this is a common issue, try searching ... | |
| To Former owners of Jolida JD 100 I had the JD100 and loved it as well. I noticed an improvement from tube rolling and from improved isolation. I didn't try different power cords. I have an all-tube system and I thought it had an analog-like tube sound to it. The only reason I sol... | |
| Cartridge/RFI I checked your system. If you are using Nordost blue heaven interconnects anywhere between the turntable and the amps, that could be the problem. I have been using red dawn and blue heaven and they were prone to RFI hum when used in the phono chai... | |
| Cartridge/RFI I had bad hum/rfi problems. It was due to an unshielded interconnect between the turntable and the transformer. Are you using an unshielded interconnect between the preamp and the mono amps? You can test whether it is the interconnects by using so... | |
| Your Music Server I'm using iTunes to keep track of music ripped in Apple Lossless on an external hard drive on my Powerbook G4. I use a Scott Nixon USB Tube DAC (USBTD)and 15' USB connector. Previously, I used an Apple Airport/Musical Fidelity Trivista DAC 21, but... | |
| iMac Sound Quality I have an Apple Powerbook G4, which I've used to feed a Musical Fidelity Trivista DAC 21 through the optical out on an Apple Airport Express. The sound quality was better than the sound quality directly through the analog out on the Airport, but i... | |
| Super Scoutmaster or Teres? I have a Scoutmaster with all the Super upgrades (center clamp, ring clamp, and SDS) except for the HRX motor, which results in a price comparable to the Teres + arm; plus, I assume it would be possible to upgrade to the HRX motor later. Like you,... |
