  1. In this case the only reason was that it's essentially a 0 risk adventure. I paid less for the combo than the amp alone has been selling for on Head-Fi.
  2. Nothing specific, no. There have been vague rumblings but with no build time these days it's hard to imagine doing anything about it for the rest of '08.
  3. Stax SRM-1/mk2+ SR Lambda Pro's I'll keep which ever setup I prefer, this or the SRD7/ESP950.
  4. I did a couple of quick searches and it seems that issues after installing this card are not that uncommon, specifically with irq requests and with the card screwing with audio drivers in general. Maybe read all of the thread below but the first solution I saw was to go into the bios and make sure that on-board sound is set to ON and not AUTO. http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/246318-33-audio-problem-install-radeon-3870
  5. Huh, that is weird. I'd try reloading the driver for the sound card section of the mother board. Or go into the video card's GUI and see if there's a way to disable the onboard sound feature.
  6. If you go into the "Sounds and Audio Devices Properties" control panel what is selected as the "Default device" for Sound playback?
  7. Just waiting for Lily to wake back up for her next feeding. Dang I'm tired.
  8. Yeah, that's what I just tried so I guess the issue is officially the RAM.
  9. well, i just tried pulling the stock chip and only installing the 1GB stick that I have, I lasted less than 2 minutes before crashing. On topic, does the MAC mini use the same RAM? I looked online briefly at it appears to, in which case I'd have another kind offer of RAM to try which clearly wouldn't hurt my feelings.
  10. Once more, with feeling...
  11. If you're happy where you're at that's fine. But don't expect those that have heard them out of what they consider to be better sounding rigs to agree that you're getting the most out of them. I do kind of agree w/ Dan though that having redundant, very expensive headphones while the rest of your rig remains pretty budget conscious (or appears to from where I sit) seems a bit unbalanced.
  12. I heard Dan's source was sketchy. My sources turned up pictures of his sources...
  13. That's what I would have thought, but I've read all sorts of stories about Mac's being incompatible with certain types of RAM. Seemed like bullshit to me until I installed this chip and had things go south. Ok, I'll roll the dice and see what happens.
  14. My concern w/ NewEgg is not knowing what qualifies as a reliable choice. Dan, thanks, I'll check those two and see what they have to offer.
  15. Given current SRM prices $750 doesn't seem to bad at all, just out of my current "i have no need for this" price range. At $575 I could try it and still pass on a good deal to the next person in line without losing my shirt.
  16. We'll find out, I sent him an email. I might bite at 575, not at $750 though.
  17. :faints: I wonder, quite honestly, if he meant $575...
  18. I based the PC2700 assumption based on the 1Ghz processor speed. I'll confirm it tonight from the system specs, it should say DDR or DDR2. But based on everything I've read they never made a 1Ghz notebook that used DDR2.
  19. The salted peanut sent me an old stick that he had used in one of his computers. It uses PC2700 type RAM and there was some past discussion of the topic here - http://www.head-case.org/forums/general-sale/3496-wtb-mac-ram-powerbook-g4.html - and Stephen's link to RamJet seems like the best lead. Just sucks that older, slower memory is about 2x as expensive. And truth be told I'm not 100% sure which G4 I have (Titanium vs. Aluminum).
  20. Well crap, the laptop has gone unstable again. Firefox keeps crashing with the same error, before I put the RAM in it never crashed. So, any suggestions for where to buy "good" RAM?
  21. Most are currently LAME MP3's with varying settings depending on when I (or Ian) ripped them.

    Berlin

    Wonderful images Indra, I love the picture of the Veyron. The last time I was in Berlin it was shortly after the wall fell and it sounds like that part of the city still hasn't made it all the way back. I know when I was there the contrast between East and West outside the city was even more amazing.
  23. I want to go lossless, format TBD, which is part of what's holding me back. Uh, the original CD? Not sure what you mean here... Basically, what I need to do is come up with a semi-automated routine so that I can pop a disc in and have it rip and code without much input from me. I'm not entirely sure that's possible though, but it's necessary given the 500 or so albums that I'd like to do.
  24. Agreed, but Fitz's response was sort of open ended regarding stand use so I thought I'd throw in a response that actually addressed something related to the thread.
