| What's needed with my Macbook Pro to stream music like they do at HI-FI shows? Pretty simple to do, although there are several options.I run a headless Mac Mini, USB out to a PS Audio DirectStream DAC. My main library is stored in an iTunes library on an external Firewire disc. (The USB goes into an Uptone Audio Regen first.... | |

| Sanders Magtech versus Spectron Musician 3 Mk2 Actually, @dsper, I found the Sanders Magtech and Spectron III MK2 w/all upgrades to sound much the same, which is why I went in another direction. Precise. Clinical. Sterile. Accurate, but with little emotion that might draw me in.With the Maggie... | |
| Sanders Magtech versus Spectron Musician 3 Mk2 I have Maggie 3.7s, and I've owned Spectron amps for many years. Sadly, those were troubled years, as reliability was an issue across three different boxes. While the company always backed up their products, it sucked to be out of music while the... | |
| Pass X250.8 vs Merrill Veritas vs Rowland Continuum S2 - Experiences? Can't really address your last question. In order to gain full advantage of my Magnepan speakers, one has to play at at least a moderate volume.The main reason: We liked the sound. It seemed more 'mature' than we had been accustomed to with our pr... | |
| Pass X250.8 vs Merrill Veritas vs Rowland Continuum S2 - Experiences? Of those you've listed, I did a direct comparison between Merrill Veritas and Rowland Continuum S2 over a period of several weeks.The Veritas monos prevailed over all comers, right up until the Rowland CS2. There's a pretty big difference between ... | |
| When rap came out 30 years ago I thought it was just a fad I think it's the sworn duty of every generation to annoy the generation that came before them.I'm 58. My parents couldn't stand "my" music when I was growing up (Ten Years After, Deep Purple, Santana, The Who, Allman Bros, et al.) I loathed my fat... | |

| Changing album covers after the fact If you're storing files in iTunes, it's simple. Go to the album, hit CMD-I (on a Mac), and select the tab for Artwork. Drag a JPG into the box, and it will replace the cover for the entire album. | |
| Spectron Musician ii issue Just to add to what @bostonbean was saying: I always found Spectron's service to be attentive, cordial, and effective. I never had any complaints about dealing with the folks at Spectron.I did, however, get tired of amps failing and having the hou... | |
| Spectron Musician ii issue Your story sounds a lot like mine. I dumped my third Spectron a few months ago in favor of a Rowland Continuum S2 to drive my Magnepan 3.7s.This amp has been referred to in another thread as "Kryptobrand."I started with a Musician II, used. It ex... | |
| Mac Music Software Frustration I've long used PureMusic with iTunes on my headless Mac Mini, with great results. I've tried Amarra and Audirvana, but kept coming back to PureMusic, even though PM has a rather dated interface.Lately, though, I've been leaning in a new direction... | |
