| HDMI to DVI adapter? Winston;Yes. Over at AVSFORUM.com there are many who lament the HDMI-thing that has become the 'norm'---I almost feel like the (jarhead) tube guy who hates the transistor(which,I am...)Suggestion: Watch the occasional auction where the guy starts ... | |
| HDMI to DVI adapter? Yes, I so much do like the robust DVI connector that I am sorry they didn't stick with it when they decided to include audio and came up with HDMI. My own NEC 50XM5 Plasma monitor has no speakers so I am not at all interested in a cable to it that... | |
| HDMI to DVI adapter? Winston;Trash the adaptors.They weigh too much and will sooner or later fatigue you HDMI inputs. This is a real common problem.Stick with the DVI/HDMI cable. | |
| Music Servers VS Excellent Transports? Steve(Audioengr) Yes, the Transporter is more analytic and Yes, I do prefer the DAC in my Audio Aero.Still, either way, it is a great ride. | |
| Music Servers VS Excellent Transports? I also am using The Slimdevices Transporter with my Audio Aero Capitole doing the processing via AES. I store the CDs on my Apple G5 using losslessI am very happy with this system.There is a slight difference between the Transporter DAC and the Au... | |
| will there be a collapse in processor prices I am still of the opinion that for video DVI beats HDMI anyday. It is just that HDMI is going big time into audio, especially Dolby.Yes, don't buy new unless it has HDMI. Anthem is good as they try to future-proof as best as possible. | |

| Digital Playback Comparison My own system consists of an Apple G5 with CDs burned using lossless into the Slimdevices Transporter via an ATT Gateway Modem to my Audio Aero Capitole using the AES/EBU digital connection.This sounds really good and much better than streaming au... | |
| Wow Windows Vista sounds sooo much better Yeah. I use Mac at home and PC at work. Yes, PCs have lots of neat software available that is not written for Mac.Still, whenever it is available for Mac it just runs so much better. | |
| December 14th/ today's date in music history ...and today is the day for all of the tributes to Ike Turner who died yesterday.They played his....what is commonly called 'the first rock song ever'....Rocket 88.Yes, truly rock-'n-rollsure, he was a jerk, but he was the first. | |
| Does your system sound better or worse? When it sounds worse---while I am drunk--it usually means that I have a whole lot of fixing to do the next day.It is a bit like the proverbial "Drinking and Dialing" (on the phone):major regrets........ | |
| Tube amp location Resistance is futile | |
| Tube amp location Hereabouts WAF--stands for Wife Acceptance FactorI use more the WAF--Wife Assimilation Factor | |
| Tube amp location My wife was not too sure about my pair of McIntosh 2102 amps, either. Then she noticed this is where the guys all gather as they just stare into the blue lights while I explain my system.I waited a while before pointing out that this is where the ... | |
| Too many tubes? While many components have balanced outputs they are not truly blaanced. My Audio Aero Capitole is not balanced although I use bot balanced and unbalanced outputs to service two rooms in my house. If you want truly balanced I am unfamiliar with a ... |
