| How can I improve Apple iTunes through my system? Brimac, there is still an issue with the pci slots in the entry level G5 since it only accepts 3.3 volt cards. Also the G5 is very quiet, espescially compared to late model G4. It can sit in the listening room and not draw any attention to itself. | |
| How can I improve Apple iTunes through my system? Go to preferences and turn off all the effects. Leave the volume control on the main screen all the way up (to the right) and don't change the volume or add EQ for individual songs by using the Info/Option control.

| Why Do Martin Logan Speakers Lack Dynamic Energy? Electrostatics, planars and ribbons drivers have much less mass than cone/piston drivers and as a result electrostatics can respond to the input signal much more quickly than piston speakers. In general stats also don't exhibit the same level of d... | |

| LEDE does anyone subscribe to this? LEDE fell out of favor in pro studio because engineers found that mixes did not translate well from one studio to another. If you look at the majority of pop/rock releases you'll see that they were recorded or mixed at several different studios. I... | |
| using a back-up ups for front end of system Mooncrikit, I live in a neighborhood where at least twice a month the power blinks off/on. It plays havoc with all our digital devices. This is a particular problem since I use a Mac computer as the sole digital source component in the stereo syst... | |
| speaker placement help Most speakers work best with the listening position somewhere in the area of 1 to 1.5 times the distance between the speakers. This is a generalization because there are no iron-clad rules. As you have noted, each position will involve a set of tr... | |
