| Sharing iTunes files between PC & Mac? I dont know if this will help but Appletv will stream music,pictures,movies etc. from any library of Itunes(PC or mac) including playlists,etc. - it will need to be hooked up to a monitor though. I stream from three diiferent locations to my home ... | |

| Apple TV vs. Mini vs, Sonos On Tuesday, a new version of AppleTV will be announced at Macworld - whether it has a hardware update or just software update is anyones guess - the new AppleTv will be able to download movies from Itunes (my guess) this would lead to being able t... | |
| Mac Mini used as a D/A converter My bad as far as the mac mini having an digital input - the minis since late 2006 have this feature - however it looks like a pass thru when used in the digital domain (for surround sound)it looks like you could use the analog outs of the CD chang... | |

| whats wrong with ebay? Yeah, I finally found out about the preferences to restrict a certain level(you can only stop bidders if they have negative feedback) or bidders from out of the country - I did a google search of this guy and found a 8 page thread on Canuck audio ... | |
| Are you at this point?? Every time I think i'm semi satisfied, I find something that seems to improve my listening experiance - I finally got some planers after the Vandersteens that were after the B&W's that I thought I could live with a long time. I tried Hertiage ... | |
| Paradigms not producing enough lows ???? Go into the expert mode(menu setup) and select bass level - increase the bass until the volume of bass is at listening levels you are comfortablewith (mine went to about 50hz) - Hope this helps - thymanst |
