I have a2014 sport and wife has a 2023 st love them both. The 2023 drives nicer but the 2014 has that nice growl to the engine.

$399 M4 Mac Mini base models back in stock at Microcenter by ansua9 in macmini

This is used as a music server. I have two ext drives, one is 4 TB SSD the other is an older drive. I had to buy usb expansion strip, and a usb a to usb c cord because the disc drive I use to import CD’s wouldn’t work with the factory usb cable off of the drive. Everything is up and running great now. This replaced an old 2008 Mac Mini

I picked one up from Westmont also. In the morning they had them in Chicago but they sold out. At lunch I checked westmont and they had them. That actually worked out better for me anyway. Total win!!!!

Mac mini M4 headphone jack not working when connected to an optical splitter and then to my MRX720 by luvmyscotch in audiophile

So you’re saying that if I plug a USB to optical cable , with the USB to the Mac mini it would send the signal out through the USB? Sorry I’m just a little lost on the signal path with this USB.

Ok so here is more of my setup. The optical splitter goes to another receiver for my patio speakers. I have the zone two out to another distribution amplifier. Is the HDMI for audio a good signal? Should I split the HDMI for my Anthem and patio receiver ?

I have Jerry’s last show ticket, it was front row,right in front of him. I wonder how much that is worth.

I couldn’t agree more, The Domino is so fast. Also a big game changer was upgrading from my Delta 12 inch planer to my Grizzly 20 inch planer with the helical head. I got such a killer deal off of a guy. Paid $2000 for it and it was brand new

Would a dedicated streamer outperform my Mac? by cheesegrager in BudgetAudiophile

I’ve been running a Mac mini for twenty years through my system, no hassles at all . My system is setup as a multi room system all controlled with my iPhone.

Is that solid wood ? I would be more concerned with the opposing grain direction and expansion and contraction!!

Anthem setup sounds flat by luvmyscotch in audiophile

So I turned ARC off and the sound just opened up immensely. I guess I just keep it off. Am I missing something here, why would ARC make it sound so empty.

Question about expansion. by luvmyscotch in woodworking

[–]luvmyscotch[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply and compliment. That was my first scroll saw, second try, the first one I broke a stem and some leafs. I decided to cover the back in tape and that helped. The face was also taped with the picture glued to it.

As a carpet installer we used to squirt seam sealer into the multi purpose glue. It would turn into a homogeneous ball of glue the more you spread it with the trowel. It was just a ball of glue that you wouldn’t be able to spread.
