| Power conditioning for computer audio Of course, if you stream wirelessly to a network player, it may not matter. Flame away!!! | |
| Jadem6 BTW, those would be Jade Audio cables. | |
| Stream xmradio from PC to Preamp I am pretty sure that there are apps for Logitech Transporter and duet (not sure about SB and Touch) for XM and Sirius. | |
| Why are my B&W 803D speaks feel bright You can try sending an email to member Dougdeacon whose 803Ds sound fantastic. The issue w the brightness from the diamond tweeter very well could be h.f. distortion from your amp at the very upper end of the frequency range, as the diamond tweete... | |
| Best Towers Under $1500 for beginner system I like the suggestion of the Paradigm Studio 100 v2s. Another good choice would be Triangle Celius. | |
| converting oiled walnut to "rosenut" color Recommend you try the new stain and topcoat on bottom of speakers first to see what the color looks like. Putting a dark color on walnut might just end up being really really dark. | |
| Best Keith Jarrett records Well his most famous solo recording is the Koln Concerts. Two LPs of improvisational piano recorded in Koln, Germany. I'm sure that others will chime in on others. | |

| Transport, Touch or Mac Mini to Dac?? Tvad is right. I may be hopelessly old-fashioned but I bought or was given every one of the 900 or so cds I have ripped to my server. No free lunch!!! | |
| Music server with analog input? I think neal can configure one of his Music Vaults that way. | |
| Stylus Microscope search the archives. There was a recent thread on this exact subject. | |
| Int. Amp's input sensitivity and DAC's output The Rothwell 10 dB in-line RCA attenuators were, to my ears, more transparent than the partsexpress units. they do cost quite a bit more but there are significant benefits from operating your system w the volume control more in the middle of its r... |
