And where in BIOS are these speedstep settings? I've just spent too long "clicking on everything."   wacko

You are never at home man. Think about a discman or something...



I'm not sure why but I tend to think a lot about my music system and what I want to do with it when I'm sitting waiting in an airport lounge. My latest thinking tends towards getting rid of the last SMPS in the system - the PC supply. It's already fed from its own dedicated 5KVA balanced transformer, but I'm aware that it must still be injecting a load of cr*p into the PE, some of which I'm sure finds it's way into the electronics. For now, the only solution seems to be a low-powered PC running off a linear supply. But this is simply a no-no with XX. Oh well, I suppose I should stop thinking and just wait for Peter to come up with a solution in time. Somehow I think he will...

Cheers, Mani.

Mani hi,

You are touching on a topic that is very current here. I just cannot believe the spectrum of noise im seeing coming from my pc atx supply and mother board. Paul is here on Saturday so I will get some comparative measurements with his pc and NOS.

The best news is that I now have PROOF of how the breakthrough music is being modulated in my system at -144db. After a year and a half of trying to understanding it !! You just will not believe what is happening.

Cheers,

Nick.

Yep, greetings from Houston! Unfortunately I have to go where my clients ask me to go. You know, having a zillion air miles and a Gold card nowhere near makes up for the time lost at home with my family... and of course listening to great music in the evening.

Cheers, Mani.

I hear that.  Many years ago I used to bounce back and forth between eastern USA and Northwest Canada a lot (to the point where I rented a home in Canada to stop having to live out of a hotel), and the romance of travel paled mighty quickly.  Yep, had all the air miles and hotel points, and they were nice, but all in all would rather have been at home.

Anyhow: If you are in the New York-Philadelphia area, please let me know.  Would be nice to visit and say hello (recognizing that when you are on business travel your time is often at a premium).

Nothing against Houston, but I'd much rather be in the North East. Unfortunately I'm rarely there...

And likewise, if ever you find yourself in the UK, more specifically in Shakespeare's neck of the woods, do let me know. Would be good to meet up in person.

Thinking about it, I reckon we should organize an XX meet every couple of years or so. The venue would have to meet the following criteria:
- large international airport reasonably close by
- great hifi system
- lots of room in which to mull around
- access to good food & drink
- ???

Oh and a view over a lake or something would be really nice. Hmm... anywhere spring to mind?
