Good Evening, i did an upgrade on my hifi tonight, i purchased a UPS for my vintage amp, to give him a 120v 60cycle stable, and for a strange reason, the sound improved a lot. I also ad a second one ups for all my sources and it help the sound to? Strange, but result is very good! Anyone had any experience putting a USP to have a more stable 120v 60cycle for their amp?

Apple TV plays movies, music, podcasts directly from your host computer, be it your laptop or desktop, wirelessly via Itunes. You can also logon to Youtube or Apple's servers to watch content on demand through the Apple TV hardware. This a great improvement in energy saving, running a computer for database, buy a product i don't need! and than have the ability to listen my music, because of a lousy programmer at apple and marketing manager who want big bonuses! Apple a green compagny, We want your dollar as green as they are!

Well from what i seen, they push graphic to much with Lion! if i put the screensaver off than, the lagging stop! Also, a delay between image and sound appears when listening movie rented from istores if midi is setup to 96/24 instead of 44/16. So if only listening music, without screensaver or any video solicitation the sound appears to be good and very good at 96/24 better than before, but if an email arrived, than ding, it lagg! So graphic is the source of the problem on old machine, mean everything before may 2011! So i guess, the apple tv solution is one or maybe reducing the quality of image is another. but with reducing quality of image is sort of non-sence cause apple wanted to improve images with 3D? or buy a new minimac that don't have a dvd/cd built in and convert the old one to the new one and reinstall, leopard on the old one? complicated, complicated! Or what i finally decided to do, don't buy anything, stop renting movie, listen archived music, and lp's t'ill apple fix it!

Where you put your music? in a cloud?

Well since i am concerned The new Lion Os, is unable to play music, while the photo savescreen is on without lagging! this is a very bad OS and touch thing is not for me! So t'ill they work on it and fix it, OS Lion is a bunch of junk, like Windows did in the old they! to much blanket in the software will leed you nowhere! and my macmini is 2010! so if i have to buy a new macmini each time an executive want a big bonus! well, it will become a take it or leave it! and itunestore will fail! if we are not able to listen our purchase correctly! Apples gave me back my $$$ for this crapy lion version, that is not entertainement oriented! or repair it and made reliable and convienient!

Agree, i purchased cheap notebook, for the kid, and now with improvement of 7, well it is a "jeux d'enfant" to repair all the crash kid causes! Bought the mac-mini, it was convienient, but now, a notebook with airplay on tv or a new wireless tv could do the same! So no more investement in the supposed trouble free land of apple! Will ran what i got, til it die, than will see, what good they in the overpriced apple word! If they don't wake soon, with more customur oriented product, they will decrease again, but hey, it's in those time that apple got there "coup de génie". So i guess, fail and succeed is the way Apple do business! Lesson learn co$tly! The good thing, i switch back to my tt and it is playing those black softwere very well (vinyl rule in music!) Tpjrs

Someone mp me this: http://www.boxee.tv/make It's said install and forget front row!

Ok who's the wiseguy, decided to put a new OS without the FrontRow application. Now kid and WAF are at me, how, how this stuff work, Dad, what did you do, nothing work! Very very bad move apple man, you have wasted my sunday morning! What is the purpuss of purchasing a non-user friendly computer? Man, we finally have something that work for entertainement center, so let's go wasting it! Anyone else, experienced that? i found a patch, that allow the movie watching, but now, no kid could use my server. :( Big disapointement for a new apple OS, sad sad day! And worse part, no apps on apps store to replace Front Row entertainement center! two thumb down apple man!

Great cinemag, i liked them back then, i have forgot that, thanks!

Bellari, loved the VP129, with the little tube, this is what i used to have for years! and it was a beauty of sound, if volume was adjust at 3/4, the sound was blooming. But i didn't know they we're doing a step up? will inquiried that, thanks

Anyway great sound on those S4i headphone and One headphone, but plug 1/8 to cable attachement is a weak link, other experience the same problem with ipod using?

http://www.klipsch.com/na-en/products/subwoofer/ so nothing good here, to go with laScala and her 53hz bottom line?

They seem more ciname oriented, than hifi oriented? will read on it, and they don't look sexy as my birch laScala, WAF is very low on those 2!

As long it is a klipsch sub and it match laScala, it is in my price range, let's say below 2k

Hi, What would you recommand, to match my laScala for sub in a music oriented system, not cinema? regards

I forgot, my TT is a Rega P9 and tercel juicy peach preamp!
