I was referring to the Desktop application (which is what I was trying to use on my Mac Mini). Perhaps the desktop app doesn't work well with Snow Leopard which is what I still have on the Mac Mini (I only use it for streaming music). I cannot find any requirements for the desktop app. I was using the Chrome web browser. Everything works fine on my Air which is what I am using as my main computer. I already have a PC Brent (Surface Pro 3), I just only use it as a pen tablet because.... Windows. I am using the iOS app on my ipad right now. It has stopped playing music a couple of time but most of the time it works fine. I do like that it doesn't drain my battery like the Spotify app does. Also, I wanted to stream Alison Krauss and Union Station's Paper Airplane this morning but it turns out that they don't have it on Tidal. Also, searching for Alison Krauss brings up her solo stuff but not Alison Krauss and Union Station which is annoying.

I tried using Tidal on my Mac Mini (which I control via Screen Share). The browser app is way too slow to load. I installed the app and it won't play any songs, once I press play I just get a spinning circle next to HIFI. Has anyone experienced anything like this?

Started the 7 day trial today. Has anyone paid for a month subscription yet? I am wondering if there will be a foreign transaction fee every month. My credit card has flagged the $2.00 charge (to test the credit card I assume) as an International Charge. The web browser is pretty nice. I am not sure I want to pay $19.95/mo over spotify's $9.99/mo since most of the time I use spotify when I want "background" music. Heck, I didn't even want to switch from Mog's 4.99/mo. Perhaps if there was a good Logitech 3rd party app, it would be worth it. The "related artist" feature doesn't seem to be as good as on Spotify. Does anyone know how much data this will use up per hour (streaming flac)?

Thanks Todd!

Dan said what I was trying to say.

Google doesn't always work though.

I have been having problems with the search feature recently. For example, I search for Neko and only get 4 hits (all for Neko Case). However, there should be hits for Neko DAC. I can't remember when this started happening.

Happy Birthday Dinny!

Good idea - I don't need the clip. I just realize that I could have used a multimeter to test for connectivity.

I got my Bourns H-90 trimmer adjustment tool today. It has a blade on both ends. I am assuming that these blades are not attached, correct? (I see that in Justin's video, he is touching one of the blades with his hand while the other is inside the amp which seems like it would be quite dangerous if the blade went all the way through the tool.)

It does look like French Toast.

Happy Birthday Mikey! Since I can't afford the read stuff... the cake maker seems to have misspelled your name.

Happy Birthday Chris!!!

It seems to be possible to add 16GB (2x8) to the default 8GB (2x4) from Apple making a total of 24GB. I am not sure if this is optimal though. It also is unclear how you should add the memory according to discussions at the apple forum.

8GB x 2 from OWC is $200 and the upgrade from Apple is $180 so there is not much difference. Of course, if I get the ones from OWC I can have 4 matching sticks in the future. Apple's cost for 16GB of memory (if not bought with the computer) if $400, yikes.

Yeah, I was wondering about mixing different RAM sticks. I've always heard that was a bad idea. I have used OWC mostly in the past. I was not planning to upgrade the GPU to the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M 4GB GDDR5. Any red flags? The standard is NVIDIA GeForce GTX 775M 2GB GDDR5 (or 1GB with the slowest i5 processor).

You probably still would have won, my team is full of suckage this year.

I think my team is going to get a record lowest scoring game ever this week. I just remembered to edit my lineup and its too late for most of my players. I'm currently projected to lose 143 to 50. Sorry to take all the fun out of it Nate.

I went to check out the iMacs yesterday and I think I can live with the glare. It wasn't really that bad even in the very bright Apple store (which has two walls of glass). Now the beg decision about which processor to get: i5 3.2Ghz or i7 3.5Ghz? There is about a $400 difference*. I don't think it would be worth it to upgrade to the faster i5 processor. The question is whether hyperthreading would actually be that useful. I don't really don't video editing. The computer would be used for Lightroom, math computations (that are often written by me so would probably not be able to use hyperthreading), latex, web browsing, etc. I know this is HC so i7 but.... *The i7 or faster i5 would also come NVIDIA GeForce GTX 775M with 2GB video memory instead of 1GB of video memory. Not sure if this would be useful for driving the large monitor. Also, I may want 16GB of RAM at some point but can change it out later. Is it worth just upgrading now or sticking with 8GB for a while? I am definitely going to get the 256GB SSD.

I'm not sure why everyone says that iTunes is so horrible. I have never had a problem with it. I guess the Windows version must be different.

The Emotiva Stealth look yummy.

They are nice sounding speakers but I have had a lot of problems with mine - mostly loose connections (to tweeter/RCA and XLR connections). I don't know if they were refurbs sold as new but I probably wouldn't get another pair. They are a little too noisy for near field listening for me. I had to send back one of the first ones I got because the noise was really bad. Now, the noise is just slightly annoying.

Thanks.

What size trimmer adjustment tool should one get for biasing the amp?
