Grahame Posted November 8, 2009 Report Posted November 8, 2009 One of these (YST-MSW10) for $5 from a local high school rummage sale. Fills out the squeezebox boom nicely, using its subwoofer out. Can't complain about the price if this is anything to go by [url=http://www.hifido.co.jp/KW/G0204/J/0-10/C08-38125-22832-00/]YST-MSW10 YAMAHA ?? McIntosh/JBL/audio-technica/Jeff Rowland/Accuphase/?/?
Headphone Dreamer LD Posted November 8, 2009 Report Posted November 8, 2009 I purchased Star Trek 2009 3 disc Movie on Blu-Ray from the US along with Jumper (UK version.)
The Monkey Posted November 9, 2009 Report Posted November 9, 2009 Congrats. I love mine. Seeing the post of that rack reminds me that I need casters on mine.
Salt Peanuts Posted November 9, 2009 Report Posted November 9, 2009 Congrats. I love mine. Seeing the post of that rack reminds me that I need casters on mine. more rackses fit more DACses. FIFY.
Hopstretch Posted November 9, 2009 Report Posted November 9, 2009 Au contraire. Once Dinny gets his ULN-2 and clears out all the other digital gear, he'll have plenty of space on that rack for some nice analog components.
VPI Posted November 9, 2009 Report Posted November 9, 2009 Au contraire. Once Dinny gets his PerfectWave DAC and clears out all the other digital gear, he'll have plenty of space on that rack for some nice analog components. FTFY
Hopstretch Posted November 9, 2009 Report Posted November 9, 2009 Can we take it, then, that you prefer the latter, since you have both? Also, dibs on the ULN please.
VPI Posted November 9, 2009 Report Posted November 9, 2009 I have reserved judgment until I can connect the ULN-2 to my main system. I definitely prefer the interface of the PS Audio. If John had not been around to tell me how to set it up I probably would have given up.
Voltron Posted November 9, 2009 Report Posted November 9, 2009 Salt sucker, so just picked up over at Woot.
HeadphoneAddict Posted November 10, 2009 Report Posted November 10, 2009 I traded for a pair of Onyx Rocket UFW-10 subwoofers (but in maple wood/piano black tops).
DigiPete Posted November 10, 2009 Report Posted November 10, 2009 The guts to my new computer (core 2 duo guts going into the wife's machine) Asus P7P55D mobo Intel Core i5-750 G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 1600 SDRAM Antec True Power New 550w PSU COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 Plus CPU cooler Have not decided on new video card (currently using Radeon HD4850) or hard drive, so I will keep those in until later upgrades.
swt61 Posted November 10, 2009 Report Posted November 10, 2009 I traded for a pair of Onyx Rocket UFW-10 subwoofers (but in maple wood/piano black tops). I have two. Great subs!
HeadphoneAddict Posted November 10, 2009 Report Posted November 10, 2009 I have two. Great subs! Yah, just one 10" woofer seems good enough with the Transformers 2 last night, so I think I will be pleased. Now I just need a proper cable to connect both subs at the same time. The Tributaries RCA subwoofer cable that I bought has the Y-split on the wrong end so that the cables after the split are way too short - so the two subs would have to be set back-to-back. Unfortunately I am dealing with a ground loop that I need to fix as well, because when I plug the RCA LFE into the sub I then get a hum through all 5.1 speakers (unless I convert the 3-prong subwoofer power cable to a 2-prong). My plan is to use them for music a lot as well as for movies. So I also thought it would be fun some day to try the subs in my 2-ch rig. I could use my Apogee mini-DAC feeding its XLR out into each sub, and then feed its single ended output into my Yamaha AV receiver so that the receiver can drive my Polk SDA CRS speakers (I set jumpers so the Apogee's volume control affects all the outputs). This should be fun, as I used to have an MK 15" subwoofer with 250 watts running along with the Polk SDA CRS back in the mid 80's.
Salt Peanuts Posted November 10, 2009 Report Posted November 10, 2009 500g of Genmaicha from Upton Tea Imports.

That's just it...they have enough output for movies (for my tatse anyway), but make an excellent music sub, because of the fast, controlled nature of the 10" woofer.

Dusty Chalk Posted November 10, 2009 Report Posted November 10, 2009 I've always wanted to own a Blue Microphones microphone, and for $40 (on gold box), I couldn't resist.
