    Audio-GD NFB-2 & NFB-3 Delivery & Impression Thread

    My NFB-3 arrived today (ordered January 23). Sounds great compared to the aging MSB Link DAC that I have here. I was surprised by the size and fit 'n finish: a great deal!

    Mac OS X Music Players - alternatives to iTunes

    I just wanted to thank everyone for this thread. I've settled for Decibel which I think sounds more "organic" than iTunes on my system. MacPro optical-->Audio-gd NFB-3-->Purity Audio KICAS/Little Dot II-->HD650/K701

    HTC Desire HD or iPhone 4?

    Umm, if a good camera is important then the Nokia N8 is worth a look. I bought it and it is a superb phone. However, the Symbian OS isn't everybody's cup of tea although you can tweak it quite a bit if you're into that. The Ovi Store is shamed by Apple's App Store experience though. Last but not...

    Pictures of your computer rigs! Post them here!

    Holy Gawd, blur510!   Thanks chews! That was 6 sec at ISO 100 and probably f5.6 (no EXIF data for aperture as I used a manual focus lens.)

    What Apps Do You Use? (OS X)

    I use MS Word in preference to Pages mainly because the integration of Pages with Endnote was not possible until recently. Word, however, has citation manager functions built-in. Also, Pages requires that MS Word documents from Windows users go through an import/export process, which is a hassle...

    What Apps Do You Use? (OS X)

    Um, I thought Quicksilver would have become redundant with Leopard's new Spotlight being able to launch apps by typing a few letters. Guess not!

    What Apps Do You Use? (OS X)

    Apps not already mentioned that I use, and those worthy of a repeat: Omniweb: best browser for any OS. Amadeus Pro: For recording LPs at 24/96, sound editing, track conversions. Microsoft Expression Media 2: Organize, and archive my images (tons), pdfs, videos etc. Microsoft Office: iWork...

    REVIEW: Purity Audio K.I.C.A.S. Caliente home headphone amp - updated with comments on regular KICAS

    Moving past 200 hours on the Caliente, and, boy, the bass has improved mightily; the HD 650s are pummeling my poor little eardrums. Slightly more air now. Cool.
