PC vs MAC laptop as music server
iMac for me. I upgraded the memory and added an external 1TB hard drive. Toslink from the iMac to the Processor. Works great. iTunes is a breeze. 
Review: Mye Sound speaker stands Magnepan- MG-20 Tweak
Having just recently purchased and installed Mye Stands on my 20.1s I too am a believer in what they do for the speakers. What I am curious about is - what are you all using to weight them down in back? I discussed with Grant the possibility of ha... 
Left / Right Maddening Problem
Opteron05: That is quite interesting. You have done just about everything possible to make it work. It is curious that the CD works on a separate system (your boombox) but not in your main system. I have had, on rare occasion, a newly burned CD th... 
How is your power bill?
Elizabeth: Pretty amazing wasn't it - imagine my surprise. Thanks for the input. 
1 piece of audio gear I really regret selling is..

How is your power bill?
Danlib1: Your advice was right on the mark. 
How is your power bill?
Many thanks Wavetrader - I will check it out.Ausjoe: Thankyou also for the response. We do not have attics in Mexico. It would probably become home to many geckos, scorpions and other such creatures! 
How is your power bill?
Wavetrader: What is a foam SPF cool roof? A portion of our home in Mexico is flat. It may be pertinent to this thread since it is a way to offset higher power bills due to our equipment. 
How is your power bill?
GHS - Thanks for that tip, it may well be worth trying! I will also, as some of you have mentioned, turn the amps totally off vs.a standby mode and avoid the action movies. I think the movies may be the main culprit in driving up the power bill. I... 
How is your power bill?
Lloydc: HA! Yes, I am grateful that it is only $70 but nonetheless that is a sharp increase and I wanted to know if the real reason was my gorging on music and movies and whether or not I was alone in this increased cost of living! I sorta new the...

Nickt: Did it make a significant difference? 
You know you're an audiophile if--
You spend more on renovating your home to accomodate your equipment that the original price of the home. 
iMac to DAC via 3.5 mini-phono jack/RCA IC?
I go directly from the IMac to the Processor (Krell HTS7.1) with a 37' run of Toslink from Lifatec and IMHO it sounds really good. I agree with those that want to keep it simple. 
Left channel sounds louder
I had a similar experience with my Krell HTS 7.1. In the end the problem was created by me! When programming the processor I had inadvertantly set the "speaker distance" on the right channel to about 35' and the other one to about 3'. Naturally th... 
In case you haven't seen the new Maggie?
I had to wonder myself if so much power was necessary. I drive my 20.ls with Krell fpb 350's and it seems OK, although I would love to move up to 650's or 750's. 1000W seems excessive to me. I tend to agree with Tigerwoodkhorns, it is unlikely tha...
