What have you learned?
yes I burn cd,s to the server via an external drive that came with the server or I can burn from computer to the server but either way is disapointing.

Oh its a custom ordered Dv7 pavillion with too many bells and not enough whistles! LOL! should have got a Mac but oh well!

Thanks so much! I have done away with the server and I am just using a laptop now and I like this better than the server and I have more features on my laptop. Thanks guys! 
KT-88's better than EH ...
No your right! EH KT-88,s are by far better than many tubes costing many times the price! I have heard many many tubes and Ive learned that no matter what equipment you are using they have the same signature sound. They are the blank slate or the ... 
SET pre-amplification?
Atmasphere I am considering the purchase of a Jame Burgess 45 right now. My brother let me hear his and wow. Just when you think it couldnt get better.....it is. As soon as I get it I will give my thoughts butIm sure Ill like it. 
SET pre-amplification?
And yea manufacturers love to baffle with BS instead of Wow with wisdom. its just marketing given its bad marketing. I try to learn as much as I can before a purchase. Ive learned you need to KNOW not think you know in this hobby or you will be ta... 
SET pre-amplification?
Yes! That was my reasoning behind my 6b4g amp. All the glory of a 2a3 but a 3rd of the price. Or less. But I dont have to give up quality. I am quite surprised by the performance of my old SET amp and the tubes have a good long life. 
SET pre-amplification?
Not all preamps are single ended and even the ones that are dont use 2a3 or 300B,s for the signal. Well I am sure that this already exist however I couldnt afford it so thus this Idea. 
SET pre-amplification?

SET pre-amplification?

without Ed Meitner we would probably still be listening to records because digital would be horrible! He was a brilliant man. 
SET pre-amplification?
However to be clear I am sure there is a simple way to use a SET for a preamp. The whole original reason for this was I realized that most RCA interconnects used about as much power as my 5 watt 6b4g tube put out. So I am going to try straight wir... 
SET pre-amplification?
To Almarg...Yes I used an old Carver wide band coupler which has prebuilt transformer and resistor step down from high gain to low gain for interconnects. I dont beleive you can find one as nice as this one prebuilt. I bought this one in the early...

Ed Meitner. Hands down! 
Best sounding PC for adudio may vary
Totally agree with mechans. I really was refering to most main stream everyday PC,s or Mac,s and the different forms of connections from fire wire to USB or now Is2. Just kinda to help with sonic adjustments. More simple than complicated but the s...
