  1. HDTV sells slightly better than high quality soundsystems tho...
  2. Pico is more portable, more flexible, and probably has a better headamp. Duet has an ADC, firewire, mac only, can't be used stand-alone.
  3. Sorry, was thinking mini. The cubes are old as shit, and have collectors value. Not a plan for htpc.
  4. Yes, even a 1st gen g4 mini is more than enough computer to use with the duet for music serving. You should be able to score a g4 mini for under $300. Another $200 for a 750gb drive ,and you have one hell of a music server for $1000.
  5. You can make ringtones with garage band and with itunes now for free, no hacks required.

  7. My way around THAT was mac mini
  8. It's useful if you already have an ipod, and your computer can't conveniently be put near your stereo. Especially if it turns out to sound good.
  9. No, the advantage of a 5.1 or 7.1 system is you don't have to have the perfect room with the perfect treatments and perfect speakers and perfect amp to get a seriously fucking immersive experience. Yes, if you have complete control over your listening environment, you can do better with your entire budget in the 2 channels. If you don't, surround is better. And given an unlimited budget, surround is better.

  11. mike, send me the duet to demo
  12. I'd say that entirely depends on what you're feeding it with, what headphones you're using, and the volumes you listen at.
  13. 2x chicken andouille sausage
  14. Yes, I was waiting for confirmation of that before pointing out how laughable that statement is.
  15. Apple doesn't have additional models if they don't need them. That was the problem under Gil Amelio. Too many variants. Now they stick with as few as they think they can drive demand for. When models get too similar, the less profitable one gets discontinued. See ipod mini vs ipod nano.
  16. When they released the original iphone, it was $200 more, and there were 2 models. The real reason: battery life

    I don't think there's much story there, although I'm not privy to one, if there is. Aerius is just an ass, you haven't noticed?
  18. Their label releases 24 bit cds? The masters are the highest quality, or being 24 bit makes them the highest quality?
  19. He's Vince Vaughn, but his real name is nate. Vince is his screen name. SAG rules and all.
  20. The biggest selling point of the apple ][ is the interface. The mac is different.

  22. Because you're so much smarter than they are.
  23. jay's a loser, so you would have to be the winner in this argument
