| Do you rely on RAID as your NAS backup? RAID is NOT a backup. RAID protects against hard drive failures. That's all.RAID (except RAID 1) also allows ganging multiple drives together for extra storage space, so that's another potential benefit, and maybe faster read times. Most consumer... | |
| Need a processor and matching amp for about $1k I think that at this price point you'd do much better with a home theater receiver rather than a pre/pro and separate multi-channel amp.Most modern HT receivers have built in calibration such as Audyssey, where you can locate the microphone at var... | |
| Recommendations please for good, affordable pre-amp for system? @donzi, you're all over the map here. My best recommendation would be to establish a relationship with a local dealer and borrow a variety of equipment so you can listen to the differences for yourself and best figure out what you tend to prefer ... | |
| Recommendations please for good, affordable pre-amp for system? I love the Thiels, although you're pairing speakers that could potentially be described as on the "lean and bright" side (at least that's how I recall hearing them), and an amp that definitely fits that description. You might look to a preamp tha... | |
| Need help with digital music setup for house As to whether DAC's need to be hardwired, I think it's optional provided that you have a robust wireless network. And this usually means that you've hard-wired access points throughout the house to allow for high-reliability wireless connections w... | |
| Need help with digital music setup for house I have a similar situation to you, so I'll pass on my experience and suggestions.I live in a 4-story rowhouse, and have three televisions / home theaters, a small stereo in my office downstairs, and my nice rig in the living room. They're all conn... | |
| Fast & open sounding amp with great imaging 2k Based on your listening preferences and desire to use a high-impedance speaker, you're a perfect candidate for an OTL amp.There's an Atmasphere M-60 classified on Audiogon right now at just under the $2K mark that might be a consideration. (I have... | |
| Suggested PC laptop models for computer audio Steakster, thanks for the info on Empirical Audio's suggestions. They do look a little dated, though, referring to XP and Vista and recommending computers with at least 4GB RAM (that's virtually EVERY laptop available now).If USB has problems with... | |
| Suggested PC laptop models for computer audio Since your current laptop is only one year old, and you like the results, what's wrong with simply keeping your current setup?I agree with Lewinskih01 in that you don't need much horsepower for your purposes. Even the most inexpensive laptop nowad... | |
| Component cable for long runs Saki70, I still don't understand your being adverse to HDMI cables because of lightning strikes.If you have a direct lightning strike, regardless of type of cable your components are at serious risk of damage. I'd imagine your best defense would b... | |
| Component cable for long runs I second Cleeds' question: What is the evidence that HDMI is subject to electrical overload?Component video cables are not a complete substitute for HDMI. Yes, you can use the for video signals, but HDMI carries digital audio data as well, so you ... | |
| Transporter not transporting It looks like you're using the analog outputs on the Transporter. See if you can find/borrow an inexpensive DAC and try hooking it to one of the Transporter's digital outputs to try to isolate the problem further.Michael | |
| Preamp suggestions for Classe cap 150 under 1000 Quite frankly, your desire to have a preamp that sounds less "muddy" than the CAP150, uses tubes, and costs less than $1000 might be one of those situations where you can "pick 2 of those 3 things".Aside from the Quicksilver mentioned above, there... | |
| Help choosing an amp for Thiel 2.7s I've heard the Thiels with a Plinius amp (SA-100 I think) that sounded fantastic, so I can confirm that Plinius mates well with the Thiels. It was one of the more three-dimensional and lifelike presentations I've heard over the years.Michael | |
| External Drive Help Rlwainwright, most of the reputable cloud backup services offer options to "seed" the data on their system from a hard drive that you send them, and to send you a hard drive with data for restore. So you can skip the sometimes month-long process o... |
