Looking for an advice about speaker cables
The Essense gZero2 from KLE Innovations is an extremely good speaker cable and nicely priced, especially when you find out just how good they really are.Probably the last cable you'll ever buy - that is, until you try the gZero6, which is outstand...

Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend?
I have an Audiomods arm with a continuous loom through to the phono stage.It came with Nakamichi RCA's and I had originally planned to replace them with Eichman Silver Bullets, then along came Keith Louis Eichmann with his latest set of products.S... 
Pure®Harmony RCA Plug
I've just installed a pair of Pure Harmony on the continuous harness in my tone arm.The immediate improvements were very noticeable and included- significant extension to the high end - much more dynamic - sweeter/fuller sounding mid-freq's - HUGE... 
Question of priorities in audio cables
Cable architecture also plays a significant role in cable performance, as I have recently learned.Examples of cable architecture are- Coax- balanced pair (shielded) e.g. Van den Hul DL102 mkiii- twisted pair - e.g. Stager Silver SolidsFor DIYers -... 
Audirvana Plays DSD without DSD compatible DAC
In my original post I cited an example of an upper limit of 24/96.However, Audirvana actually converts DSD to 24bit and the highest sample rate multiple of 44.1kHz (e.g. 352.8, 176.4, 88.2, or 44.1kHz) - which is dependent on the upper limit of th... 
Audirvana Plays DSD without DSD compatible DAC
Mateored - I view DSD as just another high resolution format. Granted, there may be some "technical benefits" of DSD, but at this level of performance I certainly won't be looking to compare it to other hi-res formats - just as I have stopped comp... 
Audirvana Plays DSD without DSD compatible DAC
Alan - personally, I'm going to wait for the dust to settle before splurging on a DSD DAC, but I like the fact I'm not restricted in my choices of album, some of which may only be available in DSD.This option of Audirvana allows me to take advanta... 
Power Cords Snake Oil ??
Well, there is way more to power cords than meets the eye that's for sure. Otherwise there wouldn't be so many companies out there peddling this stuff.Since my last post I have experienced a lot of "discovery"But to cut a very long story down to a... 
Changing iTunes default Library
Ghost - it was the part about getting the pop-up prompting for the library after a restart. On my setup iTunes just started and I went to preferences to reset the the NAS drive path each timeI had never experienced that pop-up - so I played around... 
Changing iTunes default Library
Thanks Ghost - I've fully tested this out now and the only time it prompts for a library is where iTunes was running when the power is cut.Even then, I just quit itunes , wait for the NAS to be assigned (takes about 10 seconds in my case) and then... 
Changing iTunes default Library
Ghost - a couple of things you mentioned got me thinking about my setup and I think I now have it figurred outPlease note the text below reflects the setup on MY iMacOK - after some searching and playing, here's what seems to work for my iMac...1.... 
Changing iTunes default Library
Ghost - I tried starting iTunes and specifying the library (which I found "how-to" instructions online) and it unleashed the demons again.Music is safe, but iTunes toasted my genres and playlists - but it does look promising, since after I restart... 
Changing iTunes default Library
Ghost - I leave my system on 24/7 so I'm not affected too much with NAS library issues and for the most part it's not a problem, just when I power downiTunes upgrades also reset the library to the default.I've searched the web but it appears to be...
