| Mac Mini vs. Macbook Pro as a server I know it is an optimized windows based computer and yes, I am relying on the folk who go before me as they have the expertise and from the various sites I've looked at there seems to be a general consensus about what I averred to, to the best of ... | |
| itunes uploading problem If the original artist is different, track by track, or there is something that would differentiate it, the track will separate itself. The only way is to go into the info breakdown window (try typing 'command and 'i' at the same time or simply us... | |
| Mac Mini vs. Macbook Pro as a server This is a bit off subject but I just want to say THANK YOU to Thehouseofsound for your opinion and experience and your conclusions. I've only been into computer audio for a short time and it always made sense to go the music server route. Computer... | |
| DAC upgrade Take a look at the Centrance DACmini. | |
| How to clean the exterior of an amp? Try some GooGone from Loew's or some other hardware store. It's citrus based and is great for all kinds of metal surfaces. | |
| Best Audio Store Name? Rslspeakers:I believe it was your personal pair of Magnapan Tympani speakers that I bought. It was during a sale and they were laying against a wall at the back of the shop. I paid about $600 for them and loved them for years until one of the pane... | |
| Greeding to all DAC users Mezmo is right. You won't get a real improvement with an older, less expensive DAC at your price point. You'd have to spend more to get more but it can be done. Case in point: I was at a showroom this past weekend and also in attendance was a well... | |
| Can I upgrade my IC cable for $100? You might try to snag a pair of Zu Mission ICs on ebay. I got two different pairs for a bit above your $100 limit (each). | |
| Genesis amp-does anything compare? Thank you, Plato, as well, for your thoughtful advice. ( that took me back a couple of thousand years)I agree that final determination is within one's own system. But, I'm somewhat familiar with the system it demo'd in and it was with two differen... | |
| Genesis amp-does anything compare? Thanks Teajay!Its quite a jungle out there and feedback like this makes it a lot easier.All the best,Nonoise | |
| Does Hardware Matter? Just a thought: If you like the sound you are getting from your Macbook Pro, then keep it. I'd forgo the headphone output and go USB to a Centrance DACport LX and then the headphone out split to 2 RCAs and by all means, try Bitperfect ($5.00). I u... | |
| Integrated Amplifiers with neutral sound So, the OP wants a neutral integrated and let the warm speakers be the tone control. Great start. I like the sound of the Burson PI-160 but lets face it, its not that popular despite its stellar sound (IMHO). I was told that the Hegel line of amps... | |
| Biggest impact on you? Running Bitperfect on iTunes to my Centrance DACmini to my stereo was a tremendous improvement. Granted, its the poor man's path to computer audio but it opened my eyes (ears) to what awaits. | |
| Denon AH-D2000 Headphones When I spoke to someone at headphones.com, the salesman told me that a lot of the crew use Denon AH-D2000s He even offered me a great price but I was looking for pricing on some Shure SRH-940s. If anyone would know, they could probably give you so... | |
| Big upgrade I've been told that one would get a big improvement by placing an acoustic panel in front of a big screen while just listening. Haven't done it yet but it seems to make sense. |
