But CAT5 cable is pretty thin, and it would be a very unusual house indeed if there isn't *some* way of routing it. The kind of money you're proposing spending to sort out this problem is way more than it would cost even a professional installer to route some CAT5 cable across you house.
And once it's done, you gain the benefit of keeping the noisy computer out of the listening room. Even a computer with no fans still needs a hard disk, and even a Samsung Spinpoint running in "silent" mode still makes some audible noise. -- cliveb Performers -> dozens of mixers and effects -> clipped/hypercompressed mastering -> you think a few extra ps of jitter matters? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cliveb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=348 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31334 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
