Variable output cd players
All WADIAs have this. 
Mcintosh MC352 ower, do u use Wadia 860?
I cannot coment your very setting but sorry, why shouldn't it match up? I run the Wadia 270/27ix into McIntosh MC 2000 - which is as good as it gets. One hint: the Wadias are very responsive to power (cords et al). Try the PS 300 f.e. and - believ... 
Do we suffer our music?
>>What is the longest time you have been totally satisfied with your system? I had a HighEnd system for almost 14 years. I had bought it with the term "HighEnd" in mind which means to me: as good as it gets regarding my budget and sane sense... 
Macintosh - Mac Mini aficionados please help
Hello please!Every webpage is compatible with a Mac! The one you mentioned is cute by the way. It's a matter of webbrowser if any! Go and get that little Apple cutie - you soon will kick yorself for not having done that step earlier. XP really sucks! 
Preamps with Dual Main Out?

Norah Jones?
>>I rarely see anyone mentioning Norah Jones.And right so! She is completely overrated. Her singing is apalling pitchwise, her piano playing very poor. Well, the girl herself said in an interview that she cannot believe what people think is ... 
Electric power in Europe
Keep your gear!! It will work flawlessly on converted sources!My entire system is American (Wadia, McIntosh, Revel) and I never had the slightest problem here in Germany. I know that Spain is no problem either.Good luck with the job! 
Apple or PC?
Mac rules! Your question ist like: BMW or Hyundai - you'd ALWAYS want the BMW right?Seriously: OS X (Panther) is the best operating system, you can forget about viruses and stuff like that, everything is so easy and selfexplaining and the design i... 
Using a CDP to copy a cd to computer
Hey - another Macy :-) 20 screen, too?I did what you mentioned in the old Quadra days using a cinch to mini input adaptor. Couldn't hear much of a difference. Maybe the Mac's drive is inferior to a real good drive but what about all those "mini" c... 
Can I convert dvda to Apple Loseless???
I do think that you won't lose a lot of the MUSIC going analog! Who cares for the rest except those high rez junkies and they don't even touch an iPod anyway, do they? 
Can I convert dvda to Apple Loseless???
I second Pabelson! I don't know what a Mac does with an SACD opening iTunes. If it'll show up in iTunes at all you can go under "Etras" and decide which way you will convert. If SACD doesn't show up in iTues, go the analog way - this will work for... 
Power conditioner for Wadia
I got best results with the PS Audio PS300, set to "tube" or "S1" (depending on the music) for the WADIA 270/27ix combo. The WADIAs are connected to the PS with Belden power cords and the PS300 has it's own dedicated line. 
Mini Mac as audio server?
Welcome on (MAC-) board!--Can I play the WAV files via iTunes? Of course you can.-- Is iTunes smart enuf to recognize that I've dropped the files into /Artist/Album directory format and create tags?Yes it is, you can tell iTunes a lot of criteria ... 
Discs you play again and again
Strawinsky "Rite Of Spring" under Valery Gergiev! And that without an eggnog!!! 
plauged by off center image, am I insane?
Well, same thing in a concert hall except you are dead right in the middle in front of the stage. What's so disturbing with it? Plus there is some music (again you can witness it live!) when there's only little going on on the bass side! If your s...
