| Which hard drive for digital music server? I can see from the comments above why this hobby is sometimes considered a disease (audiophilia). Working as a data network engineer for 11 years now, I see no need to have a RAID 5 system in a home audio setup. Why would you want such a rapid rec... | |
| Bit perfect digital output from pc Thanks, was just concerned with how the MP3s (the likes) are becoming commonly used phases around here. I love the idea of a hard drive as a source. I will be building mine around the Lynx one card, which is about $240 on eBay. Will upgrade to lyn... | |
| Bit perfect digital output from pc Guys,Not to start a MAC vs PC war, but iTunes and iPods to me are in the realm of MP3, and as an audiophile, I find no interest in them. However, I may be ignorant, because it seems to me people around here are increasingly comfortable in talking ... | |
| No power on my ML SL3 on a stepdown voltage The cost is $200. I just wish there was a Small-Form and cheaper stepdown that can also do frequency conversion. | |
| No power on my ML SL3 on a stepdown voltage Thanks guys. Jim has replied: It is the 50/60HZ frequency difference that is causing the problem. Instead of looking for a frequency converter, I will just replace the 120V-60HZ circuit with a 240V-50HZ board from ML, and plug direct to the wall!T... | |
| Sunfire Signature or Aragon 8008BB to power SL3? Wcce,Please don’t misunderstand me, when I say I won’t be able to demo. There is no place for me to demo. Not whatsoever! But I believe your good advice and my background knowledge will lead me to something I can work with, at a lower price. I als... | |
| Sunfire Signature or Aragon 8008BB to power SL3? Never demoed, and never will in any near future! That is why I rely on your opinion and my instincts! I have a background in electronic engineering, but I have come to learn that selecting audiophile gears requires more than that. So I intend to b... | |
| Sunfire Signature or Aragon 8008BB to power SL3? 76doublebass, thanks for you input. If I ever consider a tube, it will be a pre-amp. Those ss amps are my last choices. The Oddysey Extreme is a little bit expensive for me and they aren't better than the 8008BB, according to my research. But Warn... | |
| Sunfire Signature or Aragon 8008BB to power SL3? Yes, they are Martin Logan SL3. I had the Innersound on my list at one time, but lost interest- don't know why?Thanks | |
| Music from hard drive better than CD? For those who can build their own, here are some great links:1. At the botom of this page you will find nice Multimedia cases: http://www.xoxide.com/silverstone1.html2. Then you can install a quiet/fanless power supply from here: http://www.xoxide... | |
| Music from hard drive better than CD? Best thread yet! I am planning to build my own Hard drive system. Does any body have a suggestion on which HD brand, speed (7200 or 10,000 rpm), and what size disk space to buy. Would a relative small size hard disk be better that a large one (i.e... | |
| Is it best to use a 5-channel amp for biamping?? Thanks!! | |
| Is it best to use a 5-channel amp for biamping?? Sean, that was very informative. Do you think the difference between the signature and the standard model is compelling enough to justify spending the extra money? My last amp was an Onkyo Intergra 504, therefore I would think the standard model w... | |
| Is it best to use a 5-channel amp for biamping?? Jetmph, Sean... keep them coming! I have been contemplating on buying the signature series, but with you inputs so far, it seems the standard Cinema Grand will do just fine in this configuration. It is interesting to see that everyone here so far ... |
