| Imac too old??? you are running fine now. what i would do is get yourself a NAS disk setup and put all of your itunes stuff on that. get a NAS that has 3 or 4 disk drives in it so you can build a raid 5 setup to protect your library incase 1 disk fails. also, the... | |
| Music Server Setup: Airport Express or Extreme? jax2- the only reason i said what i said is because your initial reply indicated that the poster "needed" to do certain things. IMO, there are much better alternatives to what you stated. let me clarify:to get wireless, there are many options: wir... | |
| Anyone compared Totem Forest to Odyessy Lorelei i did. it was ok. i used to own the odyssey monoblocks a few years ago and they were nice, but i have since have had mcintosh and classe equipment which are many levels above the odyssey. for the $$$, odyssey produce some very nice equipment. but ... | |
| Anyone compared Totem Forest to Odyessy Lorelei i like the totem's over the lorelei. i do like the odyssey's but the forest is a more musical speaker. the forest will give you the bottom end like the lorelei (but tighter) and a better midrange with sweet sounding highs. you should listen to the... | |
| Music Server Setup: Airport Express or Extreme? jax2- let me correct some of your statements. 1) you don't need a squeezebox or transporter to get remote control capabilities from the mac. actually you are wasting your $$$ if you get the squeezebox and you could do better by getting different e... | |
| Which way to go to built a music server?? there is no reason to go with another route than the airport express. if you are using a mac (or heaven help you if a pc), all you need is to get the signal from the mac which the APExpress does. most people go into a dac from a mac/pc or from the... | |
| Mitsubishi DLP problem how about trying a different cable from the source to the tv. or how about trying a different input on the tv. couldn't tell if you tried this yet r not. | |
| Why Mac Mini Over Slim Systems Products? merlocpm - get a jitter device and put that between your computer and the dac. i use them in all my connections and you will get a big jump is musical quality by using a jitter device, plus you can go out coax to the dac. i would stay away from us... | |
| Hawks vs Model one sig. robertbrown - i disagree with you on a few things. the model 1's are an excellent speaker with tight bass in the right room. even the arros (which i also owned) have amazing bass for the 4" woofer. as for the mani's, they are not missing anything.... | |
| Hawks vs Model one sig. the model 1 is an excellent speakers. had it for years in a 12 x 13' room. i did eventually team them up with a rel strata III sub because when i had to play at low volumes, the bass was pretty lean and using the sub allowed for full sound at all ... | |
| Mac mini to eq using toslink? correct | |
| Mac mini to eq using toslink? you need to get an adapter at your closest fry's for $2 and place it onto your toslink cable and plug it into your mac. the adapter is a little longer and allows the mac to send digital signals. all of my mac and airport express devices uses this ... | |
| Mac mini to eq using toslink? go out and purchase a jitter device (monarch, audio alchemy, genesis, etc..) and go from your mac into this jitter device using a toslink cable. then go from the jitter device into an external dac using a digital coax cable. this will give you opt... | |
| Mac mini to eq using toslink? if the dac accepts toslink, then it will work fine. if the dac uses coax, i would recommend going out of the mini to a jitter device, then use coax into the dac. going straight into a dac from a mac or any other music server without a dac sounds t... | |
| Add a subwoofer to Von Schweikert 4Srs? you can buy the biggest sub and the biggest speakers and if you put them in the wrong location in the room, you will not get the bass you are looking for. i have heard systems that when you sit down, there is no low end. when you stand up and stan... |
