The Stereovox cable is the other way around. It is terminated with true
75 ohm BNC connectors with optional lock-in RCA adapters. It was
designed by the same engineer that devised the famed Illuminati D60
cable.

I don't think anyone would use two RCA to BNC connectors on a single

Indeed. It is a true 75 ohm connector and designed to maintain a

Lessons about DRM we can learn about the Squeezebox:
- if DRM were universal, small start-ups like Slim Devices would have a
major obstacle to overcome in getting hold of the keys (hardware,

highly unlikely we'd even HAVE a Squ

You can use either the coax or toslink digital out from the SB3 into the

This is a lot to put the world through just so one lazy person doesn't
have to tag his files. And what makes him think the tags and album art
will be any better? What is compelling them to add accurate tags, art,
and lyrics? Nothing, once they've eliminated all other competition.

You actually just need an an amplifier that is capable of driving your
speakers. By this I mean matching is extremely important. Amplifiers
and speakers interact, and one amplifier with a rating of 100 watts
might not drive your speakers properly compared to another make with
the same rating.
