me, Adele 21, an hiface, a bluray player and a new LaCie 3TB hard drive

[NicInJak]

me again,

 

in my ever patient yet lusty drive for the sound that makes me happy I continue to lash out funds here and there, not always a step forward but sometimes a frustrating stale mate that once again forces me to reach out to the other wierdos here that must know more than me !

 

Those familiar with my earlier pleads for assistance and knowledge might recall my position of a bluray device playing a CD versus ripping the CD to my macmini (this time AIFF) and the resulting aural differences. I took a flight to Bangkok and found a very nice man that sold me an hiface and a pricy Korean SPDIF (whatever that is) cable thing. I got home, listened to some stuff, put the new things on the macmini and listened again - lovely. Not amazingly incredible but somehow this little hiface thing allowed the existing files to be fed from the macmini to the DAC in such a way that more separation and 'liveliness' was more evident. Hooray. All good for a month or so . . . . . . . . .

 

The Aperture library is filling up and so is the LaCie 250GB drive I bought when I was much thinner, so I lash out again and get me a 3TB (the most scariest sounding piece of computer stuff I have ever bought) LaCie firewire 800 hard drive to keep me semi comfortable in an electronically domesticated sought of way for at least 6 months or until they start selling 10,000 mega pixel dictaphones. This blue eyed monster came with it's own firewire cable and I'm blaming all my current unhappiness on this little black skinny thing.

 

Adele - I'm maturing, belatedly but nonetheless it's happening. Rihanna's trembling everything got me through a few months of late night drunkenness and mid afternoon drunkenness for a few months and then Adele came around, sitting on her funny chair, rattling glasses and stuff and she made me stop doing whatever I was doing which was probably eating or drinking or just swinging from the fridge door handle and I moved on even before California King Bed made MTV.

 

Adele 21, if this is her age I pray to the Lord she doesn't drink and stuff and end up all Amy Winehouseish - Adele has me for the moment but she aint no Nina Simone yet.

 

OK - so is it this cheapo firewire cable that came with the LaCie the problem or must I continue to exercise and insert the actual CD plastic thing in to the DVD player for sound that comes close to not feeling like a blunt bread knife skewing in to my ear holes?

 

thank you very much for your advice - you owe me a couple of hundred dollars easily !
