| Your Music Server I currently use a Seagate 300GB External and a combination of iTunes and SlimServer Software. I will soon be moving to a larger storage unit as my music library is growing rapidly. I have both a Squeezebox 3 (Connected to my ECD-1 DAC via SPDIF) a... | |
| Computer music to Stereo I own both the Apple Airport Express and the Squeezebox 3 and run them into my ECD-1 DAC. I mainly kept the Airport Express for music sampling out of iTunes. The Squeeze box is a Superior sounding product as it offers a SPDIF output versue the Tos... | |
| ITUNES v7 any good? I actually have had nothing but trouble with v7.2. My issues were songs would skip during playback and would sometimes sound compressed and muffled. This would only be corrected by a reboot and then would happen again shortly. It got so frustratin... | |
| Focal Mini Utopias First of all, you have a very nice system. However, you Musical Fidelity Integrated is probably not be the best match for the JM Labs. If you are going to keep those speakers I would strongly suggest you consider selling the MF Int Amp and getting... | |
| Which DAC for $1K?Benchmark?Perpetual????? Musical Fidelity Tri-Vista Dac or an Electrocompaniet ECD-1 would b be excellent choices. Both sound much better than the Benchmark to me. Good luck! Chris | |
| digital cable The Harmonic Technology Platinum Cable is an excellent choice. I actually just purchased one after auditioning one in my system. I own several digital cables and really liked the Platinum digital in my system between my CEC transport and Electroco... | |
| Speakers with Cary 300 SEI I must second the suggestion of the Proac 1Sc's. It is a wonderful combination with the Cary SET..Good Luck,Chris | |
| cheap coax I would suggest the Canare Digiflex Gold LV61S or AudioQuest VSD-1. Both are inexpensive and great performers.Chris | |
| What cable would you choose? Actually, the Audience Au24's used here on Audiogon would be a stellar fit. Also check out the XLO reference 1 or 2 lines used. They both will deliver what you are looking for without question and allow you to enjoy music again.Cheers,Chris | |

Anyway, still taking lessons and still attempting to play to the guitar. What did Bono say: "3 Chords and the truth" I am getting thereChris | |
| Need Glass Toslink with Mini Connectors Mark02131,My hat is off to you! I searched for ages and never found this. I ended up using a WireWorld Glass Cable with a cheesy adaptor from Parts Express. This was for my Airport Express to my DAC. It bothered me so much I bought a Squeezebox.. ... | |
| Anyone Totally Content With Their System? I will have to admit, I am pretty content right with my system after a major overhaul of upgrades.(New Amp, New transport, New Cables) I also have had the time to sit down and listen this holiday which has been nice. But knowing me, this will chan... | |
| Isolation device under Ayre CX-7e? I use Monument Reference Signature SoundPosts and they are stellar. However, they do not come cheap.. www.monref.comCheers,Chris | |
| Opinions on lower priced digital that can compete "12-15-06: SbrtoyIn response to the "make your teeth hurt" comment...I run a DAC-1 with a Stereovox HDXV and have found it a great match. Kid, if your setup causes such discomfort I think there are some issues elsewhere in your system. The Stereov... |
