A workaround that I discovered that worked for me, in case it is an issue for anyone else, is to plug the SP1000 into a generic USB 2.0 hub, and then it's recognised by the computer.

Can you confirm whether the SP1000 is meant to be working with the M1 based Macs? I've tried using mine with two different M1 Macs and neither will work with the SP1000 in DAC or USB mode. The Intel Macs I've tested with work fine. I'm running latest available firmware on the SP1000 and latest...

I've been absent from Head-fi for a little while, but I'm going to be in Brooklyn on holiday mid-next month and had a vision of knocking on the Grado factory door to try and get a set of RS-2s or RS-1s at a bargain price. (ok, I wasn't really just going to jut show up there, but when you're a...

Had an MZ-1, then a few others back in the 90s. My MD got shelved when the 1st iPod came out, and I've not really gone back since.

I've had an xbox 360 for about 10 months, never had the RROD but I don't play for eight hours straight either. I also keep it well ventilated. I did have one issue where I'd get Disc errors playing a game for a while, but MS fixed that up for me. It's hardly been a smooth experience for me, but...

My Bloody Valentine's 'Loveless'. Sounded like noise when I first listened, but upon friendly pressure, I listened to it some more, and now I love it. One of my desert island discs.

Add me to the team... :-) Quote: Originally Posted by Daryn Alexander (My Life Story. anyone? anyone?) Here! I loved Mornington Crescent. One of my missions in life around early 1997 was to track down the MC Companion cd single/EP.

I'd be interested in meeting up if someone wants to organise a meet in Melbourne... Might even be able to provide a venue to the organiser if need be.

Q: What do all these adjectives mean that are bantied about? Like Chalky, Sibilant, Fast, Slam, Syrupy, Warm, etc? A: There's a glossary online here that might be of some help: http://www.integracoustics.com/MUG/M...-glossary.html Q: Assuming I'm less keen on enjoying the music I like, and...

I think creativity exists, but perhaps in different forms. The first thing I thought about when reading the topic title was in relation to stencil/pasteup art which is just massive in the laneways of the central business district in Melbourne. (And I know Banksy over the UK and Space Invader in...

The best thing about these forums is having the opportunity to read the advice and opinions of others about a wide variety of different equipment. The worst thing is that you will get confused as, not surprisingly, different people have different opinions... And, given there's several different...

Another vote for Black Celebration. Would love to hear 'But Not Tonight' remastered into 5.1...

A lot of the advice here is good and doesn't need to be repeated. I'd add a couple more points; - Don't choose money over interest/passion. I.e., don't choose one career just because it will make more money than another that is genuinely more interesting for you. I'm 35 now and worked for...

And you can get both seasons of Sledgehammer for $17.99 total. :-)

This happened to me recently with this album: Stars - 'Set yourself on fire'. It sat on my shelf for ages after a quick initial listen, and then gave it another try. It didnt leave my cd player for a good couple of weeks once I listened to it properly.

Only 29 days till the canucks play the flames in their first pre-season game. (go canucks go!)

My watch collection (images found via google, not actual photos of my stuff) My old seiko. I saw a cab driver wearing one of these about 10 years ago and fell in love with it. I hunted through pawnbrokers and estate jewellers and anywhere else I could look until I finally found one (and that...

I was eyeing off an Anonimo watch earlier this week - this one, in fact: Apparently, an Italian guy started the company after Panerai (another fine maker of beautiful watched) was bought and moved to Switzerland, leaving some (many?) of Panerai's original talent behind. I got a...

I'm having a 70s Rotel RA-310 fixed at the moment. I'm not sure how excellent it will sound, but it did well enough for my dad for years, until it was packed away in storage before being given to me... We'll see when it comes out of it's operation (if it makes it at all)... Actually I just saw...

I use a pair of Sennheiser HD200s for DJing - they're closed and do the job well enough - plus it's got a single cable connecting into one earpad (no Y cable), and it's socketed with a mini stereo connector, so when you accidentally step on the cord, etc it just pulls out of the phones instead...
