    USB Power Question For The Technically Inclined

    Update: I think (after 2 dozen oysters, two red ales, a Manhattan and now some Larceny, neat), that this may be as close as it gets for me. Got the Tascam UH-7000 back out, hooked it up to mom's iMac, reloaded all of my hard drive files into JRiver version 26, and - with the help of the dbx 200...

    NAD 1300 preamp upgrades

    I try to remind myself on the range and in between sessions - one change at a time. Evaluate, proceed. It's hard.

    Recording Summertime Dream in 32 bit/96kHz to the computer. Hooked up Mom's computer and the Tascam interface, sorted out the recording software issues with the Apple Store (just went around it) and am recording some albums I didn't get around to in 2016. Started with Carefree Highway last...

    Another opinion on Counterpoint Amplifiers

    I don't know about upgrades to his solid state amps, but the stage 2 upgrade I did to my SA-5000 preamp was killer good. Mike knew what he was doing.

    Gene Hackman gone at 95

    My two favorites were Unforgiven and Mississippi Burning.

    Gene Hackman gone at 95

    It sounds like life was wonderful up until the moment it wasn't. He was a tremendous talent and deserved the life he was able to build for himself and his wife post-career (even if he wouldn't call it retirement). RIP Hackmans.

    Rek O Kut B12H Rehab Thread

    Really nice, Kyle! I'd have been tempted to go whole hog and repaint the deck and polish the selector wheel but I think you leaving the patina (there, I just jacked the value $100...) works better. Love the plinth design. Nicely done all around.

    Gene Hackman gone at 95

    Article I saw said he was 95 - wonder if they decided it was time. Don't know what the laws in NM are concerning drug-assisted death; I know we've researched owning land with friends in Oregon as that's allowed there when the time comes.

    USB Power Question For The Technically Inclined

    Also, I can get the A>D function with the RME ADI 2/4 Pro converter (https://vintageking.com/rme-adi-2-4-pro-se-2x4-ad-da-converter) for $2500 but I've pretty much digitized as much of my album collection as I'm going to, so I see no sense in going beyond a DAC at this time. If I do, I'll...

    USB Power Question For The Technically Inclined

    The Audible Illusions has a great headphone amp built in. Louis used it as such even after he got the Pass Labs preamp. It's not balanced, but I'll bet it sounds better than my Beyer cans. And no, I'm only using about half the preamp's inputs right now. I've really pared down to (besides the...

    Godspeed, Hunter.

    Jeez. Hadn't realized it's been that long. Still kinda hard to react to it.

    USB Power Question For The Technically Inclined

    Interestingly, my power issues were resolved with this move as well; I no longer need the dock, which, it turns out, was the power hog - not the SuperDrive. I've got both Glyphs, the SuperDrive, the DAC, and the peripherals connected to the monitor all working with no need for the dock...
