Many manufacturers had traditional CD players in their equipment racks, but used a Mac as the main source. There are a few Weiss Minervas in use here at RMAF. One forward thinking manufacturer is Vinnie Rossi at Red Wine Audio. He really gets it. His two sources were a MacBook and a turntable. Vinnie's components are very nice and can run completely off battery power. I will certainly write detailed articles about everything, but for now here are a few photos from day 1.[PRBREAK][/PRBREAK]
