Thanks for the kudos, Valveglow. I am working up the nerve to haul in my Stromberg Carlson tube set-up, but I'm afraid administration might consider it a fire hazard. I love the vintage gear . . .
My computer system is pretty basic, computer connected to CD direct on Denon POA-2200 and Ashcraft speakers.
Never heard they were "bad" for the computer other than they share resources. I already have mine setup to run Bootcamp if I need it (which is rare) and VMWare Fusion (which uses the bootcamp partition) for everything else. I don't play games, I mainly use it for Excel, WMC, and J River and so far it hasn't been an issue.Thanks!
Those emulators are really bad for your ram and HD... Mac operating systems come with partition software standard, and it is much better for your computer.
downfall is you have to restart when you want to switch OS, but it is much better, and FREE (comes built in to MAC OS). Look into it.
The original Macintosh and all the goodies. Nice :thmbsp:
I wonder where personal computers would be without the Mac. Would we have mouses and GUI's or would we be using some kind of command line systems ?
Thanks!

Nice set up. Incidentally, is that your Shovelhead on the screen?
Yup , that's my #1 hobby. I built it a couple years ago.

Nuforce DDA100 Amp (a little dark in the pic but you can just make out the LED's under the external hard drive with the blue light) and Harbeth P3ESR speakers.
