suggest laptop for music storage

Jc51373 - The Spoiler is actually not from the ground-up, its based on a Lite DAC-60 from China. The first one I modded was so great that I decided to do an all-out mod on it and change all of the hardware, including the front panel and I add a back panel etc. and make it my own product. The idea is that it cannot be improved with further mods. I believe I've thought of everything, except maybe cryo treatment....

Kana813 - what DAC do you use? What is so special about it?

Jc51373-
"Any SS I have owned or auditioned has NOTHING on tubes-case closed. But enjoy your transistors by all means, I spent 10 years with them and would never consider anything for audio that didn't have tubes in it."

Then don't buy any new CDs, they're recorded and mixed on SS equipment.

Steve- I use TacT 2150s.

Hemihorn- get a Vista Laptop and contact Steve for the rest of your PC playback set up.

In a perfect world, I hear tube and ss gear playing music together in perfect harmony side by side...or would that be above and below each other. Anyway who is to say what is the best? I have the cosecant and I love it(didn't start with the brick), but I'm sure there are ss dacs and cd players that can best it, Jules Coleman felt the Sim audio Andromeda and Reimyo were slightly better and thats all good (he also thinks very highly of the Devore Silverbacks). What ultimately matters is the music and that you enjoy it.

Hemihorn, I'd go with an apple ibook.

Kana813 - heard the TACT gear at CES. Do you drive the 2150 with a computer or a transport?

Seems like it should have a clock output to drive a transport as a slave in order to reduce jitter.
