Re: [slim] I officially declare my HATE for 7.4...
Xilink reset had to be done sometimes, i think sometimes something goes wrong with the fw update and you have to reset and sometimes it's a random occurrence. Stay tuned to to experience the even rarer distorted sound on full volume bug . Murphys law clearly predicts failure in such situations when you try to show of your stuff for friends ;) Btw use 7.4.1 and do clean install if possible saves your fragile nerves if more rants are expected.

Re: [slim] Poll: Do you have a Dual-Band Airport?
2GB TC here seems to work pretty well. I got it because I got fed up with trying to get TimeMachine to work reliably to my NAS/Server (now I have since figured that out, but the TC is working pretty well, so). My big complaint is that my bedroom boom rebuffers pretty frequently especially at night. I think that it is related to competition for signal (lots of neighbours with wireless), but I've gone as far as to put my original single band AP into the mix (also apple) using whatever tech apple uses to extend their networks (WDS I think). When I tried to add a third AP to the mix (win the wireless war through superior signal strength), this being an old WRT54G with Tomato, it made things worse - the boom registered LOWER signal strength. So, long story short, things seem to work pretty well with the apple stuff. It isn't as configurable as some other options (I miss Tomato/DDWRT), but seems more stable overall and has good xfer rates. It was either apple or build my own AP with an Alix 3D1 running mm0n0wall; turns out I don't have the time or inclination to fiddle that much these days.

[slim] Router Upgrade Questions
I've got a junky old Linksys 11g router, looking to upgrade. Was hoping some of the more knowledgeable network gurus here could offer some tips. Some questions I have: Is the official ratified 11n spec sufficiently different from the draft spec, such that we should expect a new wave of official 11n routers? And when this happens, will it just be marketing hype, or will the functionality and hardware actually be different? The motivation for my upgrade is to improve range. Throughput is of secondary importance. (Squeezebox is my primary application of wireless, I'll need to buy a few dozen more players before I max out what 11g can handle.) I've not found much good info for routers with remarkable or standout range -- any suggestions on this front? I expect whatever router I buy will be in use for the next several years, so I don't mind spending a little extra to get a quality product. Are there brands or models known for being especially high quality, professional grade, etc.? I like the idea of using DD-WRT on the Linksys routers, but am worried about the lack of external antennas.

[slim] 7.4 and Fast-Forward issues - help?
Since installing 7.4, I can no longer navigate through a given song selection via the fast forward button. Previously, with all other software versions, I have been able to fast forward (or rewind) through any of my FLAC files (natively supported by the Duet). With 7.4, I can access the fast forward button on the controller only to navigate at a very slow rate through any given track/song (at only a slightly increased rate not much faster than the rate of normal play). Any thoughts suggestions will be appreciated. Thank you.

[slim] So I'm just not getting this
I know this has been covered, and I've read all the threads, but wasn't 7.4 supposed to fix the problems switching from Squeezebox Server to my squeezebox when the server has been shut down? If I had Squeezebox Server connected, then shut everything down at the end of the day, when I turn on the Squeezebox again the next day I get nothing. Then I have to turn it on and off and on again to wake it up, so I can go back through the menu and connect to my squeezebox. I thought there was supposed to be a prompt, or better yet, it would automatically connect to my squeezebox if the local server wasn't available. This is why my wife won't touch the Squeezebox...

[slim] Standalone phono stage?
Hoping someone can point me in the right direction here. I'm in the process of moving my folks from CD/LP to an SB3/laptop combination - at present they have about 100 of their albums FLAC encoded and in use with the SB3. They love it. The next challenge they've presented me is to either enable them to: 1) rip their LPs (many of which would be difficult to obtain on CD), and/or 2) enable them to listen to their LPs the old fashioned way. The issue I'm faced with is that I recently replaced their old cheap and nasty integrated radio/tape/phono system with an old NAD separates system that doesn't include a phono stage in the preamp. Anyone know of a decent sounding standalone phono stage that can act as a go-between to the turntable and the preamp? -- audiomuze audiomuze's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33613 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69989 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Is it possible to stream an arbitrary sound card to the squeezebox?
Squeezebox is great but of course it is unlikely that there will ever be a plug-in for every possible piece of music hardware and software out there. For example, I use Mixmeister to create my own mixes and a Torq Xponent MIDI DJ mixer/soundcard running the Torq software. I would like to stream these to the squeezebox. If I could simply stream the PC sound card, or even better, the sound card that is in the Torq Xponent (which just appears as a normal Windows soundcard) to the Squeezebox, this would be great. Is it possible? (I suppose I could set up a shoutcast stream and then point the squeezebox to that, but this seems unnecessarily complicated!!) -- robotron2 robotron2's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33653 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69990 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] I officially declare my HATE for 7.4...
I guess that most of us know that this was initially a product line made by a company called Slimdevices. The idea behind the product was to provide great hardware and software that provides excellent audio quality in the emerging digital audio age. And they did that in a community kinda world. Since its beginning, the software platform has been open source and DYIers were stimulated in building custom server designs, tweaking the software, and even tweaking the hardware. The whole system was intended for people who wanted an excellent audio system where they could have their fair part of hands-on. Now that this company has been bought by Logitech, I think it is struggling a bit with the Slimdevices philosophy. Logitech is not used to bringing products to the market that are partially built by their customers. For example, Im pretty sure that in the Slimdevices age, it was way easier to postpone a software and or hardware release. In the Logitech world, where there are CEOs, VPs, Sales Directors, etc , postponing a release is not what they want to hear. Both philosophies (Slimdevices Logitech) are not compatible. Logitech will need to find its way to cope with this fact or they will start loosing customers. Myself, I bought my first SB3 after evaluation this system against Sonos. Slimdevices came out as a big winner for me, partially due to Slimdevices philosophy. I dont mind to be an involuntary beta tester from time to time. It is part of the Slimdevices experience. And I know I can always go back to a previous and stable system. I understand this is not the case for everyone and this is where Logitech needs to work on. -- Pascal Hibon __ 2 x SB3 - both wireless, ReadyNAS NV+ running SBS, iPeng on iPod Touch.

Re: [slim] Standalone phono stage?

Pro-Ject Phono Box II goeas around 85 and they have some even cheaper models . Don't go to cheap 12y old NAD is still decent stuff, and a good riaa is somewhat demanding with the low voltages involved. They sound really different so take time to listen to them, a model with selectable gain and impedances is prefered , I think some come with possibility to alter the capacitive load for mm pickups MC pickup is the trickiest part to do right. Or NAD PP-2 Phono Preamplifier avaliable at amazon a 265$ Cambridge have one at 90$ RIAA/Phono stage is a jungle , I'm surprised that there are cheap alternatives . I thought phono stage had gone high end boutique stuff only . The subject have been of no interest to me since 1994 so I'm out of the loop regarding what the hottest newest thing. Price wise the sky is the limit. Even if sound is somewhat uncritical, this boxes are small so borrow a handfull from a decent hifi shop and listen to them. Maybe getting a new pickup would be nice, the moving rubber parts tends to dry and the stylys get wear and tear, get a pro to mount it if you don't know how the pickup is mounting is adjustable for a reason. Sadly most people (non audiphiles,that is ) pickups are mounted with gross errors and the weight and anti skating adjustments are out of the window, this damage records . To actually record the output, there is a lot of old treads on this forum on the subjekt with a lot of good advice, a search in the ripping soundforum would certainly give something. -- Mnyb No it can NOT be controlled with iTunes Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69989 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
