Insane Ravings or Exaggerations.....?
I would think so but it's above my skill level. I find my self rebooting to another version just to marvel at the difference and wonder why. It's a subtle thing but so pervasive as to permeate the entire performance.- MRB

Insane Ravings or Exaggerations.....?
Matt, I've taken the Mojo route before of optimizing the system. In fact I have one of Zwickle's Power supplies for the Mac Mini and some of his cables. I've tried some other OS optimizing packages in the past but to no avail. To me, OS 10.8.2 and 10.8.3 are light years beyond. They eliminate...- MRB

Matt, According to Mac Tracker, the 2010 MBP came equipped with 10.6.3 and can go up to 10.13.6. Thanks to the work of SeeTeeYou, that means you could download a copy of 10.8.2 to an external disc, thumb drive or SD Card and give it a spin.- MRB

That's great and thanks for the effort!! If others have a machine that will run 10.8.x it could let them give this a test drive.- MRB

Matt, I hasten to add that I have not tried every single incremental release of the MacOS. As with 10.8, Apple only makes available the most current version of any major OS release as a full install. Any prior iterations are only provided as updates for earlier versions. This effectively...- MRB

I've used a variety of playback software. I typically prefer Amarra but also have Pure Music, JRiver, Audrivana Plus, Decibel, Bit Perfect, Fidelia and several others. While you can hear a difference in some software packages, all are acceptable sounding. Amarra seems a bit more revealing to...- MRB

I'm not surprised. The 2014 MacBook Air came with Mac OS 10.9.2 Installed, which is after 10.8.2 or 10.8.3.- MRB

It would indeed be nice if someone could figure out what Apple did by accident or on purpose. For me, Digital Music Playback has always suffered from high frequencies that sound "overly-etched" and this characteristic becomes more annoying as instruments get added and layered into the...- MRB

Insane Ravings or Exaggerations.....?
I know this is going to sound bizarre and will easily be dismissed by many. I’m 69 years old and have been playing with HiFi since the mid 1960’s. I entered college as a Music Major but eventually switched to Engineering. I mention this only because I want people to understand that I know what...- MRB
