| Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend? I just installed a Pass and Seymour 20 amp MRI grade (i.e. no magnetic materials used) 120v outlet. To my surprise it made a noticeable difference to the details and sound stage image - mainly due to it clamping the pins of the plug like a vice.At... | |
| Wanting Coax rca digital out on DVR, Streaming I have the DH Labs toslink and it beats everyother one in that price range hands down - use it for streaming WAV to my DAC - it had the highest bandwidth and made the music sound so much better - I would guess due to fewer dropped bits | |
| Stager Silver Solid interconnects As with everything in audio, ALL the components in a system make a difference. I consider cables of any type, a passive component that posses attributes of Conductivity, Resistance, Capacitance and Inductance, all of which effects the sound and dy... | |

| Is it my Apple TV or the Internet Radio Stations? Just had Internet Radio run overnight with no breaksRead on the net that if you are connected to a computer via "Home Sharing" and that computer has power saving invoked it will cause the ATV to disconnect- tuned off power sharing - seemed to work... | |
| Is it my Apple TV or the Internet Radio Stations? Hmmm - this is not sounding goodI have also tried connecting to my Bell b/g Modem/Router and a Netgear b/g router.Perhaps it only really works with apple routers?But then - why would the iMac work and not the ATV - shouldn't they be conforming to ... | |
| Is it my Apple TV or the Internet Radio Stations? UPDATE: I thought I'd try running the same internet radio station through my iMac with a wireless connection to the same routerIt appears to run without a problem - suggesting that the problem is with the Apple TVSignal strength is good on both sy... | |

| Rega Acrylic Platter - Which One to choose So I decided to go with the SRM/Tech Delux platter since the machined recess on the underside to accommodate the drive pulley seemed a little larger than most other platters from what I could determine - i.e. 163mm dia by 10mm deep.The platter fit... | |
| Cable Costs Relative to System I do agree somewhat with post above, in that a good front end will achieve a higher level of resolution in a system.The benefit of good components is that they are designed with plenty of "headroom" in their circuits - i.e. they have a great power... | |
