| Redbook CDP under $1,000 used Springbok, did you manage to audition both the Marantz and the Sony 5400ES? If so, I'd like to get your thoughts on how the two compared, and why you chose the Marantz.Michael | |

| DVR - Is there a stand alone unit? You can try Myth TV for Linux. I haven't tried building and configuring one, but my understanding is that it isn't for the faint of heart. And you will need advanced Unix skills.Michael | |
| Need help finding atypical integrated amp The Outlaw RR2150 receiver comes close to meeting all of your specifications, except I think it has a USB rather than a Toslink input. What is your digital source? If it's a computer, then this might just work for you. Although it is significantly... | |
| Recommend tube meter IMHO, for this application, you can simply get a multimeter from Radio Shack or Sears. I have been happy with Fluke and HP products, but if this is your only use of it, I recommend getting something inexpensive. There is not much to be gained by p... | |
| Why aren't all CD players also DAC's? Ghostrider45, I can appreciate the downside of having the S/PDIF conversion, but I can't imagine that it adds too much cost in either money or performance. Besides, CD player mode would be unaffected, so what's the downside of offering a DAC input... | |
| Redbook CDP under $1,000 used For your budget, you might actually be better off with a DAC and an inexpensive DVD player as a transport. The MHDT DAC's have been getting a lot of good press, although I have yet to hear one personally.Otherwise, I can always recommend a Music H... | |
| Best Speakers new/used for around 2k Your perfectly square room might cause some degree of acoustical problems. You might be better off dedicating part of your budget to room treatments.Michael | |
| Why aren't all CD players also DAC's? Robertbrown, I'm not exactly sure I understand your statement.My point is that a single-box CD player consists of both a transport and a DAC in the same box. Why haven't more manufacturers simply allowed access to these internal components via ext... | |

| Newbie help - suggested setup for best VIDEO perf. Do you actually notice any difference in the picture between the two modes? If not, then I suggest just sticking with the Integra for the video switching convenience.Michael | |
| Advice about Audio Mirror T-61 Preamp . Thanks for the update. I'm not sure that your perception of the Audio Mirror not being a strong preamp for its price range is accurate. It is a lush preamp, but has pretty decent dynamics and bass response and very good soundstaging. I remember mi... | |
| pc vs mac, eac vs itunes Kijanki,I think we're basically making the same argument: RAID (0, 1, 5) is OK, but backups are imperative.Musicnoise, how large exactly is your music collection and how fast do you anticipate it growing? If it's slightly over 1TB, then the least ... | |
| pc vs mac, eac vs itunes Kijanki, RAID and JBOD (Just a Bunch Of Drives) is somewhat different. First, RAID (except RAID 0, which just mirrors drives) puts different pieces of the data on different drives. JBOD usually functions as multiple drives melded into one. So with... | |
| pc vs mac, eac vs itunes Kijanki,My statement was that you might need RAID if you have a lot of media files (ie, multi-terabytes). With some of the computer-based movies, this is somewhat of a reality. For music-only, it's less likely that you would exceed the 1-2TB / dri... |
