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 - 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... 
Is computer audio a bust?
I'm with ghost house - sound is excellent once you get the kinks worked out - which is no different from any other source.- It took me much longer to get my turntable to a point I was happy.iMac - dh labs USB - schiit Bifrost DAC - Essence gZero6 ... 
Gershman Sonogram Loudspeakers
Well, I cannot believe I've had these speakers for almost 4 years. How time flies when you are enjoying the music.Since my last post I've completed several upgrades to all of the cables in my system(interconnects, speaker and power) and purchased ... 
Schiit Gungnir DAC - anyone have one of these?
Audioman58 - at the end of your post you said "a bit more resolved and refined"Was that in comparison to the Bifrost?Was that improvement worth the additional $300 - in your opinionThanks 
Essence®gZero6 Interconnect cables
Yping - still waiting on the cablesDIY has the advantage of being much cheaper, but has little resale value.Unfortunately, KLE Innovations are new kids on the block, so their resale value is yet to be established, which puts them at a disadvantage... 
Essence®gZero6 Interconnect cables
Yping - I will be comparing speaker cables - not sure which model as yetRegards 
Essence®gZero6 Speaker Cables
yping - if I had unlimited financial supply I would upgrade everything. But right now I have to get my ears acclimated to the new sound, such that any future upgrade will be based on intimately knowing exactly what my current components sound like... 
Essence®gZero6 Speaker Cables
Yping - At this point in time my system is performing at a very high level thanks in large part to all of the cables I have.For the time being I'm quite happy to enjoy my new found "nirvana" - until I walk into my favourite hi-fi store and get blo... 
Essence®gZero6 Speaker Cables
Yping - Gershman vs Magico?- I would not offer an opinion on this because they were connected to very different systems.They did both sound very neutral, spacious and very dynamic. Based on their price I would venture to say the Magico should soun... 
Pure®Harmony RCA Plug
Yping - cat5 will work nicely, but braid them - do not twist them.Braiding is easy and ensures the conductors are never parallel to each other - parallel conductors causes all sorts of issues.Using solid silver conductors will be the most dynamic.... 
Pure®Harmony RCA Plug
Those worth mentioning - I've made them from Van den Hul D102 mkIII and DH Labs BL-1 bulk cable. none of those compare to the Stagers as purchasedThe original Stagers with Canare RCA are good, but I thought they could be better - so I first added ... 
Pure®Harmony RCA Plug
Yping - I am into making my own IC's, but the Stagers + PH are significantly better than my Van den Hul D102 mkIII + Furutech RCA's that I have.By "significantly" I mean the difference between night and day - the VDH performed to a much lower leve...
