Hi Steve - hope life at CCE is going well ! No cost increase negotiations for me to worry about this year ! Hi Paul : this type of design seemed to be the most common when I searched the web for ideas. I'll look out the Reslo designs as that sounds instructive. Hardest part is going to be getting th...

Ribbon Mics

Happy New Year everyone... have decided to build a couple of Ribbon Mics to add to my little home studio set up. ( valves are obviously going to be involved somewhere in the preamp stages !! ) making good progress with the first motor assembly. It will be interesting to see how these DIY Ribbons sou...

Currently has Ei 6FQ7's in it and I want to try 6CG7 and see if any better.

Hi I found Vortexbox forum very helpful indeed. In the end I have pressed an old Thinkpad T42 laptop into 24/7 service as the living room server ( sits atop the SKy box ). Installed VB2.3 - I had to re-install as it didnt work first time around. Added a Seagate Ultra Portable 2TB USB hard drive - an...

Very informative stuff ......thanks... I am using a SB Duet at moment ( receiver and controller ) but tend to use iphone apps ( ipeng and Squeeze ) to control rather than the Duet Controller. The present set up in the living room is the SB receiver into my 6EM7/El34 SE amp, but I want a second SB ( ...

Thanks I think I understand ....you are ripping on a windows networked machine and saving files directly to the NAS location in correct path structure. I think I will probably go down this route too - looks good and cost effective way to use my SB devices reliably without needing a Vortexbox set up....

looks like a good option - i too wondered how to rip CDs as there is no drive.
presumably have to be ripped and files transferred over network ?

what disks would you recommend ? ideally i wanted a very quiet box to have in the lounge but could site the nas elsewhere.

New Vortexbox - hardware sugestions

Hi

my old, big fat Pentium PC vortexbox finally died this weekend. So its time to build a new sleek version.

Any hardware suggestions for a nice Audio/Video server that will run VB and I can use with my Squeezebox set up ?

Thanks all.
Regards
Pete

Hi , thanks and yes, maybe - I already have a Duet (which we use for music to the kitchen) and want to add another player for my main system in the living room. I'm just about to buy the stuff to build a fanless PC and install Vortexbox to serve all of this. I have a decent DAC already , so I guess ...

Hi Nick how do you find the Blues Jnr.? They get a consistently good read out for a modern amp but never played through one myself. I just finished a 5E3 tweed deluxe build ( in a head cab ) and fitted a VVR to power scale the whole amp - sounds very nice even at room volumes but still not as good a...
