I'm setting up a listening room and need to run a dedicated power line to it. So I'm starting this thread to talk about how to do that. I assume I have to ohm out the lines going to my breaker box and then figure a way to separate some of the power lines going to that room. Then I have to install a new breaker for that circuit, and wire the ground differently for that breaker to a ground rod outside hammered into Mother Earth. Is that right?

Cool. You're right, if it sounds good (it wasn't hooked up), it seems like it would be a good match for my ProJect 6 TT. I'd love to play with some needle drops.

I saw it and thought it was cool.

Quality content takes time. See this thread for many more.

I take that back. It's WAY faster than the old site. Like, blazing fast for me so far.

.... mmmm .... bacon. What was this thread about again? Oh! Grahame ... cuddliest edgy dude I ever met. Happy Birthay, mate!

Thanks, mang, I appreciate all the work. Gonna hit up the donate button again ... when I find it. It seems to be working faster than the old site on my machine.

Yer holding it upside down. Got mine too! Thanks!!!

The Otterbox Defender series rock. My dog tried to eat my Droid the other day; he bit it hard right on the display, and the proceeded to munch the silicon outer case right off. The phone remaind unscathed. The defender series Droid incredible case has a hard plastic see-through covering over the display. Amazingly, it doesn't seem to effect the touch screen responsiveness at all.

I don't much care how you do it, Knucks, just keep bringing it. This is one of my favorite threads on teh intertubes. Thanks, dude.

Rightwinger!!!

Good luck, Todd! If anything happens ... I ... I ... I love you guys! Don't forget to breath.

Yeah, lookin' good. I need me some double-knit Sans-a-belts.

^ Yeah, this. I love mine.

just as a note: for cheap desktop compuer speakers I've found the Altec Lansig stuff consistenly the best sounding. I'm pretty sure this is below the quality level you're looking for, but at the sub-$100 level it's prolly a good reco.

Okay, panic over. I gave them a $10,000 number and a reason to do it, and they said fine. The one twist is that when I started talking about needing machines to install stuff on and wipe clean, it was mention that copropate IT might have all manner of boneyard machines. A decent server from five years ago would be fine with me to refit. Anyways, thanks everyone, I gots budget, and I gots some great advice that I'll look back at down the road. Watching that other server build going on at the moment.

^ Disagreement is the spice of life. Pass the salt.

Okie Dokie, I've decided to take Carles advice ... shit he does stuff very close to this for his work. So, I'm gonna go with a Mac Pro, Linux server, and a Mac Mini. I recon the speed improvements at home 90% of the time will outweigh the speed improvements on the road 10% of the time. I'm gonna ask for the Mac Mini because that can be the box that gets wiped and reinstalled for software testing duties. Still looking for a good video camer recommendation ... I'm gonna go search for one now, but if someone has a recco in the next hour, post it up. Otherwise, thanks guys, the advice here is stellar as always, and I'm going to go back and pick my way through these posts as I plan to set up the network. Thanks guys!

I love you, Carl. He's also asked me to budget for a video camera. i just need a simple and small camera, that does decently wide angle. Maybe like 20mm on a 35mm camera. I know I might be dreaming on that wide angle. Thanks for all the help guys. I'm gonna slep on it and see if there's any comments in the morning. and then I'll go shopping at the Apple store and see what kinda bill I ring up. And DAMN, THESE FRIGGEN IpADS SUCK TO TYPE ON!!!!!!

A new job has me searching for a Mac solution for playing around with music gear. They want to submit some budget numbers tomorrow. Argh! Not really enough time to research shit. I'm torn between a faster Mac laptop than I have and a DIY Linux music server, and just popping for a Mac Pro desktop. I currently have an iTouch, iPad, and entry level MacBook, and a fairly new and fast Dell Windows 7 desktop. My needs are: I've got to be able to play with and evaluate virtually any digital media device. I won't be looking at bad-ass listening room servers (ie Sooloos) or professional audio editing stuff, but may be playing with most anything other hardware and software that might be called "personal media." I need to be able to create media on the road (writing, photo editing in Photoshop, and video editing, probably in Premier. So I'll be running Adobe memory hogs on the road. I think the little MacBook may struggle with that stuff. But I also might need to evaluate cards the slip into a Mac Pro ... though I really haven't seen much of that. Maybe it's not really an issue. I have a desire for a Mac Pro, but don't really know if I have a need. Doing media production at home will be the bulk of the work I do, though, so it may be worth living on the MacBook on the road if I get significantly better performance on a Mac Pro when I'm home ... which will be 95% of the work I do. Also, the larger display make make my work at home all the more productive. If I go with the MacBook Pro, I'll build up a Linux server on my own for cheap. That way, I'll also have access to a machine running Linux for some evaluations. Questions: Has anyone successfully run a network of Macs and Windows boxes that play well together? Will I have to have duplicate music databases so the Mac and Window world don't collide all over my music collection? I'm thinking I want a real server so that I can host various various streaming server apps. I'm worried the Linux will shut me out of most of the consumer level media home server apps that may come along. OTOH, I can always use my W7 box as a server for Windows services; and it's likely that a future purchase of a Mac Mini as a music server would cover my Apple services testing. Bottom line: if you got a dream job playing with all sorts of personal and computer audio gear and your boss says, "tell me what you need ... not want" what would you say? BTW, software is also an issue, but I'm thinking I'll just go with the Adobe stuff. Most of the audio software I'll just get in as samples, so I'm more interested in software I might need for testing or work purposes, as opposed to the music playing software itself. TIA!

Saw moar. Said. Nice.

^^^ WTF said just then moar? Not Larry for understanding, responding crepulous wanker postings moar, too. Well 'o ... tovel shime fun.

^^^ FTMFSM * for the moar sound far win!
