    Minimalist Footprint; Mega Sound

    Ahh yes; A 12 y/o shelf system used like a component. I rarely use the CD, Tape & tuner functions. I'm only really using the onboard preamp for EQ 2nd pass; Then into the bi-amp therein. I am on the hunt for more components though. I want a Tuner component. I'll plug that puppy into my...

    Just Upgraded The Computer System

    Great upgrade. So as for tips: you mentioned a power conditioner, smart move. Make sure the case of computer and stereo are grounded to an external screw terminal. Just use bare copper wire. That will prevent any shocks from ambient electronics handling. I had this issue last winter. Every...

    Minimalist Footprint; Mega Sound

    The Big question Hmm. At what point does change from a minimalist to an exploited micro setup? I think this is as far as a "Minimalist" title can still qualify..

    New Addition So I picked this up while out treasure hunting on the local garbage day. A Technics SH-8020 Stereo Graphic EQ. What a HUGE difference this made.

    Minimalist Footprint; Mega Sound

    Thanks. It came from working on a whole desktop & icon theme for my tablet. Like the PADD. This stemmed from my work trying to integrate everything. I think it makes things cleaner and simple to view and interact with.

    Multicore CPUs & their desktop boards: Any risk to high def audio quality?

    Just because you cram cards into your RAM slots doesn't mean you can access packets which are large enough to be usefull on Mass. And of course a DB server will handle greater RAM requests. How many people actually run a Data Base Server to play audio. Thats like using a Ferrari to get...

    Multicore CPUs & their desktop boards: Any risk to high def audio quality?

    NP; Hey go solid state if you want. SSDs are like recharge batgeries. There's only a finite number of RW / IO actions before they quit. then your information is GONE. not simply unreadable, but garbage. And as for incorrect, I'll switch to SSD as soon as CERN does. Proper RAM will always...

    Multicore CPUs & their desktop boards: Any risk to high def audio quality?

    Stay as far away from solid state drives whenever possible. 1.) They fail,,, A LOT!! 2.) They are NON RECOVERABLE 3.) They dont like to be partitioned. 4.) They are faster than 99.9% of people really need. & 5.) NASA, Fermilab and CERN wont even use them for their calculations (re #1-4) Just...

    Dual Bass Cannons?

    My design concept. So I took some time this morning and schetched up an idea. This is the kinda thing i'm looking at. Thinking sealed on the back ends. 6 inch PVC. Possibly an elbow to transition cone for directional movement. Instead of just capping the top? This works out to 2 gallons of...

    Specs for Bi-Amp Panasonic Micro Bookshelf c.2002 Lows = 60 hz ~ 120 Hz 18 W per @ 6 ohm Highs = 120 Hz ~ 16 kHz 22 W per @ 6 ohm So I know I'll be in for a major speaker overhaul soon. I'd like to relegate my panasonics to rear usage and replace their now purpose with something brighter...

    Minimalist Footprint; Mega Sound

    If size permitted, Id swap them out. (3.5" outer, 2.5" lower front) But instead I went to the local Dolleramma and picked up some wire china stands. They kinda prop them and angle things. I'm still fine tuning placement. but yeah moving around helps..:yes: ( Server & Stereo Unit )
