| Computer-Based Audio Primer Kublakhan, saw this recently... Might be a less expensive solution. My mini-ITX system has a NEC spinpoint drive in it--it is one of the quiestest drives I've never heard. Seriously, you might also look at the reviews over at http://www.quietpcusa... | |

The integration capabilities presented by the RS232 port are intriguing to me...Right now I'm using an ARC LS-16 Mk II tube preamp. Its driving a pair of passively bi-amped ARC VT100s.
