| New to HiFi, need digital advice. Ah, that link helps. I'll need some time to study it. | |

| New to HiFi, need digital advice. lowrider, thanks for the clarification. I'll check it out when I get home.I do not have any sort of USB setup or DAC at this point. I'm just exploring options and seeing what I can get away with on the cheap.I've probably got 20 CDs 'ripped' but j... | |
| Cable Burn In lowrider57 said:" N80, you stated that you are new to the audiophile world. So, shouldn't you approach the subject of burn-in or run-in with an open mind?"Yes. And I will. And to be clear, I have not stated that it isn't real. I've only pointed o... | |
| Speaker spike feet? The OEM spikes from Aerial Acoustics are $100. I think I will pass on those and try one of the alternatives you guys have suggested. | |

| New to HiFi, need digital advice. Thanks. I will consider that as well but the question (because I'm new to this) remains, how does one of these interface with the pre-amp and how can I control it remotely? (Of course I can and will research this myself.) | |
| Cable Burn In Did not intend to open the nonoise must have been referring to in the first reply. And I have no expertise to say anything about this issue.I would just re-state that it seems impossible to assess SQ differences that are separated by days. And it ... | |
| New to HiFi, need digital advice. lowrider, I don't know if you're making a wrong assumption about how ignorant I am about all this or a correct assumption about how gullible I am because I cannot find a setting for Optical Digital Out Port on my MacBook Pro (10 years old) or the ... | |
| Speaker spike feet? I'm definitely going to try something. Look forward to seeing if the voodoo is real. ;-) | |
| Non-audiophile needs help with older system. I have to admit I just bought a junk phono-preamp. The TT is also fair at best. I'll play around with my records a little bit and see if I want to go that direction.Anyway, another question, I have found a subwoofer that was with another system th... |
