So after a conversation with Tony, I made a few adjustments. Swapped a longer HDMI run (via a cheap 4>1 powered HDMI switch) to move the Mac Mini and drives off of the corner of the desk while still leaving the monitor on the deck. This shortened the USB run from the computer to the Pro-Ject DAC...

Yeesh. I can only imagine. Tore up my fingers with Belden 5000 for my speaker cable. Tried to keep as much of it unterminated as possible until I kept ripping skin open. Plugs and spades all the way now... I've been looking at reversing the room on the diagonal but I have another door to a...

Yes, thanks. Just got on to reply a few minutes ago. Been a hectic day.

Agreed, Chris. I wish there was a way to bring the music closer to the DAC; as much as I dislike running a long USB cable, I'm even less enamored of any wireless setup. As I've noted, there's too much interference between two computers, mice, and keyboards on one desk as it is. There's just so...

That would be a great solution but the USB-C connector also has to pass the audio signal - doesn't look like that one will. unless I'm reading to incorrectly. That said, I think I'll invest in an AC powered USB-C hub - I'm looking at a few that appear to pass sufficient power and signal but...

Pretty sure it's this Hyper HyperDrive Next 6 Port travel dock, Tony. Don't have the receipt in front of my but I'm guessing based on price - and it was in stock as is this one...

Here's one I'm curious about with my new Mac Mini, which doesn't have enough USB ports. I guess they assume you won't use external hard drives or wired keyboards/mics, etc. So I've purchased a USB dock, which has two additional USB-C ports and two standard USB ports. Due to the fact that I can't...

Do you have Quah? That's one of Kaukonen's great acoustic LPs. Don't know that Tom Hobson added a damn thing to it, though.

Our Choral Music Director in the department has chickens; we get a dozen or so eggs weekly. It's really nice. Pat and I considered getting some (we're zoned for it) but quickly realized travel would become problematic.

Is this what you're talking about? I always liked this system. https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/650146566-ads-atelier-complete-system/

Ya'll laugh. I watched my grandfather patch a rocker panel of his 57 Pontiac with the end of a steel veggie can one summer day while we were visiting. The salt as always, in Syracuse, NY was doing its thing all winter. A machinist by trade, though in management at GE's heavy military plant then...

Wondered if that was a typo...

Exactly how we produced slides for executive and engineering presentations at TVA. Then Compaq came out with an "alledged" portable computer with a film recorder. The engineers were off to the races trying to see how many words they could pack onto one slide.

Try getting photo files - important ones, nonetheless - off of old Kodak Pro Photo CDs with new computers these days. Still digging around in that rabbit hole...

Agreed! Nice installation of nice gear. Looking forward to seeing the finished cabinetry.

His Quintet in San Francisco album is excellent. The SACD does it serious justice.

I have one of those, though not in use currently. Does a great job as long as you don't try to drive levels too hot.

St. Paul & The Broken Bones - Half The City - finding it hard to believe that's 10 years old...

That was about half of my stash - what's left. I bumped into some C90s at a garage sale before I even got another cassette deck - had just gotten back into reel to reel but the deal was too good to pass up. A number of your C-100s are in good service, Nando. I find C-100s very helpful for...

Always liked double speed on my Tascam 113 back in the day. Also, I'm in the Maxell camp, primarily because I picked up a stash of XLIIs years ago. When I was really doing a lot of recording, I pretty much used whatever I came across between TDK SAs and Maxell XLIIs and I've found no issue with...
