Glad you're enjoying the tuner. When you're done and it's out of rotation, ship back, but absolutely no hurry.
I need to get off of my dead rear end and write up the second part of my review and commentary on the Meduci tuners. Suffice it to say that while I think they sound great, the tuning mechanism really lets them down. I don't regret having bought mine on the basis of sound, but I do wish Meduci stood behind its products better and that the tuning was better.
Oh...yeah! I almost forgot about this kit that I've been
building and
testing.
More on that later, in another post.
Thought of you this weekend. There was a McKay-Dymek on the bay that I wanted, but it began to jump in price and ended up way too rich for my blood.
I didn't even know about it. I'd like to find one of those tuners. My understanding is that they're quite good. Yet I don't really need another project or another piece of audio gear. Still, if I see one in a thrift store or in need of a home and the price is right...you can bet I won't turn it down.
And now, to avoid totally hijacking the thread...which is not my intention!
1.) Rogue Ameoba has become an important source of software for Mac-based users. I have licensed almost everything they make, and I agree with the other posters here. It's good stuff. I wish they would port to Windows.
They do have a port of their Airfoil software available, if that's what you are looking for. I'd kind of like to see some of their other titles made available for Windows as well.
2.) Old computers continue to have a place in this world. I'm guessing the cutoff is usually USB 2, though Orpheus brings a 10 year old Mac to the game.
And boy could I wax poetic about that one. I'll keep it simple, since it's not the subject here. "Compaq Deskpro EN" Great little computer systems.
USB 2.0 PCI cards are readily available AND dirt cheap. For the best results, use one with an NEC chipset, especially if you aren't running Windows!
3.) People aren't afraid to put their online/satellite signals into good systems. This surprises me somewhat, because as much as I like 'radio by other means' my experience is - put it on something forgiving.
Dunno. I would say that a good system should be adaptable to correct the shortcomings of program material that you're planning to put through it. Of course, some will differ with me on that point.
