Re: Pismo/External DVD

As the original poster of this question, I may have had a buried memory about mention of the DVD player's unhappiness with external drives, which Luis now revives. Does anyone have direct experience with the Pismo, Panther, LaCie DVD external and Apple's DVD player?

Re: Broken sound-out jack on Powerbook Firewire 2000 (Pismo)

Well, it's partly subjective, I admit. It sounds cleaner to my ears. Griffin say its better because it takes the output away from the general buzz of electronic impurities inside the case. It may also be that the USB out is better than the phono? Tony -- G-Books is sponsored by

Re: Broken sound-out jack on Powerbook Firewire 2000 (Pismo)

There's two things wrong with my brilliant Pismo - the useless DVD/CD drive (on my third, and useless one), and the wobbly Sound Out. The answer to the latter is the Griffin iMic. Small, self-powered, and makes the sound better. Though it does, of course, use up a USB port. TONY3ts -- G-Books is
