I was thinking more outside the box, that being me. But i guess your idea works too.

It's even better to eliminate all the equipment and the cables. Get a giant box and put some musician's inside, do NOT make any bass reflex ports(you will thank me later). And then just enjoy the music that probably sound better then 90% of the new stuff out there, it is cheaper if you get your musician's illegally. You can even upgrade to virtual headphones when you cup your hands behind your ears, the HD800 is nothing then when it comes to soundstage.

Agreed, x-mass tree lights work better if you desire a brighter sound.

I'm only interested if Jack had something to do with it.

Good thing that Arch only costs you time then Ah right. Yeah i can understand that, it's the same reason i switched to Fedora on my "critical" systems.

It's allot of fun diving under the hood. It's linux lego style

Great stuff, my musical education thanks you. Been digging through my old electronic collection and found this gem: Danny Howells - 24:7 Really into the day disc atm.

Hey guys another refugee here you know where. From my experience just installing a distro that does everything for you can be nice and easy but you won't learn alot about linux. If your friend really wants to know what makes linux tick and is not averse to the cli then something like Archlinux is the way to go. Basically you start out with minimal system and you build it from the ground up to include only the stuff you want and how you want it. It may seem daunting but trust me on this one you will learn so much more then just grabbing some hand holding distro. And the best part is the wiki which is imo the best linux wiki there is, it often applies to and is referenced by people using other distro's. It has endless possibilities for customization and since it's a rolling release you don't have to install a new version every 6 month's. A simple command and you're on the latest version(there are GUI-tools if you want them). The one (dis)advantage is is that it's bleeding edge so things can and will break but that's a good thing imo, you learn how to fix things and chances are if you have a certain problem someone before you had it too and found a solution. The default installation media is a bit outdated and requires quite a few steps after installation to fix stuff so i recommend using this instead: https://wiki.archlin...ex.php/Archboot Installation guide: https://wiki.archlin...eginners'_Guide Anyways that's how i learned linux and i apply that knowledge i gained to other distro's, i'm mainly a Fedora user now but i still use Arch on my htpc and inside some VM's. Good luck.
