Upgrade Audio Aero Prima with mods?
There are occasional referances to a Capitole mod and I believe those who have done it are pleased with the results.

Up to the Minute: Streaming Bits to Audiophile DAC
The Sims people are having an open house this Friday which will be my opportunity to check out the Transporter. Does anyone have more thoughts on this equipment? 
Audio Aero 24/192 comparision questions
I own the 24/192 (Audio Aero Capitole) and I really don't think that a high end universal can compare, for the money. The AA's ability to play redbook CDs is really good and it is good enough to compare to SACDs, etc., especially when you have the...

Fun thread. Anyone want to bite on how you are doing this with an Apple G5?Also, I see referances to streaming audio, but I am of the opinion that most internet music does not have all that much information that requires more than a decent toslink...

Go DirecTV
Dish HD is a far superior signal than DirectTV. Yes, much of it depends on the receiver and the Dish 622 HD receiver is really good. One of the satellites that Dish uses is broadcasting a weakened signal, especially to the Pacific Nortwest but thi... 
hdmi cable: are there different levels of quality?
Over as AVSFORUM there is a growing number of members who have purchased higher-end HDMI cables and they are getting easier 'handshake' between the components. The HDCP (copy protecting software) is unreliable and there seem to be more problems wi... 
Do I need seperate circuts for Audio and TV
Also, add conduit in case you want to add a circuit or run anything else, (speaker cable, toslink, coax, comupter stuff, etc.) 
Has your gear ever hurt you???
Financially speaking, it is killing me. 
I want to re-introduce this subject.
I doubt you will ever achieve harmony using one set of controls as the above is correct that LPs signal is more often the weaker and yes, some CDs are louder than others. the above issues don't bother me as much as watching FOX and then a commerci...
