Torpedo

Good idea, so everyone can understand when other/s speak of how new stuff sounds You still have to define the source. iPhone/iTouch maybe? Then the music

Thanks for the replies, I think I'll stay at 4Gb RAM. The upgrade buys a new Duet, which is something that can be fun having. Being a Mac novice I wasn't sure the OS and "normal" software needed a lot of RAM. So the "problem" is the 4Gb RAM modules being very expensive. I didn't think RAM was that expensive nowadays, and it was just a heavy mark up by Apple.

Still considering the Mac thing. I'm quite decided to get a 13" MacBook Pro. However I'm unsure how necessary or interesting is upgrading it from 4Gb RAM to 8Gb. The upgrade costs more than 500 euros. I know it would be possible to do it myself, but I'd probably void the warranty, or it's possible it's not that easy and I end up screwing it up. I will mostly use it as music server feeding the DA11 by USB, some web surfing and eventually, if I get some AD converter (perhaps a Duet or the like), making some vinyl or FM rips. Probably no video duties. Is still 8Gb RAM "that" worth the cost? In any case I'd get it with a 500Gb HDD, though I'd keep the music library on an external USB HDD or I'd try to set up a wireless LAN so the laptop can use the files already stored in the main PC. Hopefully shaking hands between a XP PC and a Mac isn't impossible. Completely new to Mac OS. Any comments and advice will be very appreciated.

Using the B22 without output trafos for low level listening and just a gain of 2 Extreme low level listening I'd say

Happy Bday though belated. Looks like you had a great one

FWIW I used the B22 with a SRD-7mkII to feed the O2mkI for several weeks until the 717 arrived. The combo sounded quite right. The B22 never had a problem and the only thing to complain of is the lack of power when listening at loud levels. Using bigger trafos than the ones built in the SRD7 will likely take care of that. My B22 has speaker outputs, which I used to connect the adapter. The speaker outs have some sort of protection or impedance matching solution. I can't recall but it's whatever is described at Amb's site, according to Nate -the builder of my B22-.

Happy belated. Glad to read you had a great one

You may wish to try HDD Regenerator I had a problem quite similar to yours. Other recovery softwares just were able to recover a few files, or found nothing wrong. I decided to try the demo, it scans and recovers 1 defective sector each time, so recovering a whole HDD with the demo may take eons. Despite that, the demo showed me the potential of the software, then decided to register. The program managed to recover about 90% of what I had lost, which is a great result IMO.

and also would add that bit of salt making music more spicy

It must be something related to the IP. I've been able to access by using a web proxy: [url=http://proxify.co.uk/]Proxify

It doesn't work for me on Firefox/WinXP. I'm not behind a proxy nor a corporate network, I'm at home and I don't have other safety measures than Windows firewall, Avast antivirus and Spybot resident. Tried on IE and Chrome, without success

Happy Bday!!!

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Bryan, have a great one!!!
