I have a MAC Mini with an external 2TB Firewire drive that I'm using for a music server.

I have been running iTunes and listening to music, using my iPad as a "remote" with the app. I also stream with 3 different AppleTVs to different locations in the house. I have the Mac Mini in my home theater in the basement.

It was a pleasure to finally meet Audience’s John McDonald, who beamed with energy, pride, and happiness over his new Audience The One ClairAudient loudspeaker ($995/pair), seen here alongside Audience’s own A3 drive unit, which uses a relatively large neodymium motor structure and voice coil, suspension venting, and is said to provide 12mm of usable excursion with less than 1dB compression.

Displaying near the registration booth at T.H.E. Show, CEntrance, makers of the excellent DACport USB-input headphone amplifier, introduced their new DACMini PX (price hasn’t been determined, but CEntrance’s Michael Goodman noted the company is looking to keep it “aggressively under $1500”), which combines the same array of inputs (USB, coaxial, optical, line) and line outputs found on the company’s DACMini CX ($795, now in final production) while adding speaker connectors and a 25Wpc Class-D amplifier section.

Tweaks 'n' Tips
Submitted by geoffkait on

There's a discussion on AA regarding the use of Cardas Caps and similar devices to cover the openings of unused input and output RCA jacks of electronic equipment to deal with the problemm of RF entering the component via the open jacks. One person, the OP, reported a noticeable improvement by placing paper tape over all unused input and output jacks on his components. He then tried attaching small amethyst crystals over the open jacks instead of paper tape and reported much better results.

Entry Level Studio Monitors

HI all,
I'm looking forward to buy a pair of entry-level studio monitors.
I'm interseted in the JBL LSR2325P (http://www.jblpro.com/catalog/General/Product.aspx?PId=280&MId=5)
and in the Genelec 6010A (http://www.genelec.com/6010a/specs/)

I can get both pair at the same price. I have a small room that is very bassy. I listend both and I enjoyed the power of the JBL as well as their flatness. I believe the genelec don't have enough bass.

I simply would like to have a second opinion.

Thanks

Liberals love plays and movie scripts about assassination

Submitted by Lamont Sanford on

They call it arts. Liberal arts. I majored in liberal arts. I don't celebrate plays and movies about imaginary assassinations of people liberals don't agree with any more than I do this cock sucking freak that shot the congress woman in the fucking face, shot down a child, and a few others including a sitting federal judge. You guys wanted to see something like this happen to real human beings well you got it. Satisfied? Feel like it is art? How about reform? How about repeal. Listening now?

I’m sure I’ve never said to myself, “I want a combination USB DAC/phono stage/headphone amp,” but as soon as I saw one I sure did.
