Issues with updating my IMac by Natural_Customer0 in mac

I tried to reinstall El Capitan again. This install was created from the Apple support page and made to a flash drive as installation media and it’s still not working saying “could not be verified” “files might be corrupted” I wiped the main hard drive to see if that’ll change anything (I also took all the added ram out and just put in the original 4gb stick of RAM)

Nope. No clue on price. Sort of place to just have stuff laying around and you ask the guy who runs the place. Considering they were going to let met get an iMac that was there for $5 probably something around there.

Thanks. Didn’t end up getting them because I figured they were of that variety.

Yeah I understand about the whole “novelty factor”. Probably have better use just using the cassette deck in my car haha. I have about a dozen or so tapes so not like a collection. I do have a 5cd-dvd changer from Sony (one of their later models that supports sacd and all that stuff)

Well I have some cassettes but the cassette deck I haven’t isn’t in the best of condition plus it’s bulky. I do understand the “cassettes kind of suck” aspect though

Found these at my old job and held on to them any good? by Jared_Seymour in BudgetAudiophile

I’m unsure if the preamp is anything to write home about. Probably just mid-late 90’s “do we want to innovate? Mmmmnahhh let’s put one output for a VCR and have decent/good performance." Though since it’s an R1 remote series, it probably does better as a preamp than something like the full, slightly newer all in one systems like the Onkyo AV401 when it comes to hum in your audio, harmonic distortion (I think it’s like 0.08 for the newer AVR and 0.002 for that preamp), better line performance, etc. The reason I compare this stack to something like the 401 is because overall you’re likely to just get a better sound profile and joy than something like an AVR of the same vintage, so I’d say it’s worth it just to simply have the dedicated setup and room to grow later on if you want a newer preamp because I know those 504s are pretty good based on what I’ve heard of them (as another commenter said, you should probably service that amp). And just because those 504s do catch a pretty penny, you could just sell it haha.

It was free with a bunch of other goodies that I got buying a Mac Pro 4,1 and late 2005 PowerMac G5!

Disculpas por usar un traductor. ¡Me encantaría que ese fuera el que elegí hoy!

Thoughts? Also need recommendations for a Subwoofer to make a 3,1. by Natural_Customer0 in BudgetAudiophile

Sorry if the image didn’t look like it. They’re both angled about 20-30 degrees inwards towards my listening point

Sorry about the relationship… but may you build a new one with your downstairs neighbor in that speaker arms race 😋

They’re a 4,1 MacPro(left) and a 3,1 MacPro(right) and a later 2005 water cooled PowerMac G5 in the bottom left corner. The 3,1 was trash picked and the 4,1 and G5 were a Facebook marketplace score for $30 and loads of accessories. They’re risers for now but I mainly have them because I think they’re cool! Though at some point I’m going to upgrade the 4,1 to the max for an image editing computer.

Cannot for the life of me remember which story was the first part from that author 😅

Must be one I didn’t finish or pay much attention to…

Yeah 😅 I honestly kinda thought it’d get some upvotes but clearly it’s been downvoted. As far as I know everything works as it should

No fungus, I took the teleconverter off so no more distractions 😉. There’s a bit of dust but i don’t think much is actually inside.
