| Speaker Connectors: Banana Plug conversion adaptor to spades I actually learned that I was incorrect in thinking my Thiel's would only accept spades. I had previously encountered speaker's whose mounting post knob had a plug in them that was easily removed. What I discovered with my Thiels is I had to com... | |
| Agoners: Need Advice! Have 3K to spend on an Amp, what do I do with no way to audition? Steve, I see this thread hasn't been added to in 2 years, but I figured I would toss in my thoughts &, potentially, resurrect it because there is some stellar info in it!I would like to throw my "chosen path" to nirvana out there for thoughtfu... | |
| Best Mods for a Mac-mini used as a Music Server @sbank Thanks so much for your thoughtful responses. I will definitely take your wisdom into consideration. I have "seen" a microRendo in my ruminations & googling...I will do some deeper reading. | |
| Best Mods for a Mac-mini used as a Music Server @erik_squires 2018 Mac-mini w/ 6-core I-5 chip, 8gig RAM & 512gig of flash SSD - "brand new" Apple refurbished model! In fact, I am leaving in the next 5min to go pick it up from the Apple Store. | |
| Best Mods for a Mac-mini used as a Music Server @sbank While I strongly suspect that your assessments & prediction [that I will eventually jump into the deep end of the pool] are absolutely correct, I am refraining from doing so at this point in time. My nature is to be pretty fastidious w... | |
| Soliciting Member Perspectives: Levinson vs Bryston vs Audio Research @jafant Thanks, I am rather fond of my "mixed bag" of equipment too. Like I mentioned above, have always leaned towards more vintage stuff. My favs being 70's Yamaha [CA-1010], 70's/80's Carver [C-1/M500t] & 80's Nakamichi [CA-5/PA-5] & ... | |
| Soliciting Member Perspectives: Levinson vs Bryston vs Audio Research @minorl - thanks for your thoughtful post. However, I am really just wanting people to talk about the three brands so we can all learn from the exchange. As for specific recommendations pertaining to my direction - no need to worry about it righ... | |
| Soliciting Member Perspectives: Levinson vs Bryston vs Audio Research @n80 - Sounds like a damned nice rig! Certainly no shame there!! | |
| Soliciting Member Perspectives: Levinson vs Bryston vs Audio Research clearthink, This is supposed to be a fun thought-experiment that engenders friendly conversations about 3 marquis brands. Please cease with the proselytizing & pedantic lecturing.OldManDave | |
| Mac Mini as a music server Disappointingly, a few of you have mentioned that the combination of "Apple updates" & the software rendering program <Audirvana, JRiver, Channel D and so on> seem to have "lover's quarrels". Can any of you expound further on this? Hav... | |
| Mac Mini as a music server Thanks everyone for your input & Merry Christmas/Happy New Year to all of you.From what I have read thus far, the Mac-mini music server seems like a very logical point of entry that also has substantial upgradeability. In the fairly recent pa... | |
| Gallo Acoustics MindlessMinion,Thanks for the feedback & info. I figured that the 3.5's were an improvement over the 3.1's. But, as I have been keeping eyeballs on the Gallo Reference floor-stander series, for quite some time & I have never encountered ... | |
| Gallo Acoustics bg1968,Thanks for the heads up on my mistake about the BiWiring. I downloaded the owner's manual & you are quite correct. I already have a Gallo CLS-12 subwoofer [allegedly flat from 200Hz to 16Hz] & designed to integrate with Gallo's sp... | |
| Thiel Speakers Thanks! | |
| Little Rock, Arkansas - Any Audiophiles out there? Tammy, I must sheepishly confess that I think I figured it out. Previously, I had not looked within my "profile" settings...of course, after I shot off my mouth, I found email notification settings within that area. Thanks for keeping an eye out... |
