| Forward or laid back I always wonder what people mean when they refer to accurate. As soon as you set up mikes to record an event so called accuracy is gone. The sound I here in the control room is totally different then the live sound in the studio. Recording is an a... | |
| Review: USB Disruptor and "DaBigGenius" No 5 volt Tried the disrupter in my system and it did nothing. I think the reason is that my dac produces it 's own 5 volts Alan | |
| Forward or laid back I sit in the second row for my San Antonio symphony concerts because I love that really up close sound. My stereo system is voiced the same way. Very much like the control room of a major recording studio where I worked for 25 years. I enjoy the p... | |
| Do 180g vinyls sound better or is it a myth ? Rember the thicker record changes the VTA adjustment of your cartridge. It raises the front of the cartride and lowers the rear. Some cartridges will roll off top end and give more base.Alan | |
| What's needed with my Macbook Pro to stream music like they do at HI-FI shows? Which PS audio dac are you considering? Alan | |
| What's needed with my Macbook Pro to stream music like they do at HI-FI shows? You have everything. Go to Jriver and play files that are on your mac. Usb cable from mac to your dac. You can also subscribe to streaming services such as Tidal and play directly from Tidal to your dacAlan | |
| turntable mats Everything I have read about this turntable says it does not need a mat. I would not use one. Place the record directly on the platterAlan | |
| ARC VS60 Amp question ARC is just trying to say that this somewhat smaller power amp can handle full range speakers. It will sound just fine with compact monitors.It is a nice sounding ampAlan | |
| Ortofon 2M Black? Glad you followed the advice of the majority here. Great cartridge | |
| Will Changing my 100 Watt Tube Amp to a 200 Watt SS Amp Solve My Problem? I don't think your issue is power but sensitivity. Sensitivity in a power amp means how much power out do you get for a number of volts in from the preamp. You need either a preamp with more voltage output or a power amp with higher input sensitiv... | |
| Hybrid tube/ss phono pre amps. Are they better than just Tube or SS alone? I have an all tube phono stage built into my Shindo preamp. I see no really advantage to a hybrid unless you need a ton of gain. I used to also own an all tube cary phono pre. It was great sounding. By the way both of these all tube phono stages a... | |
| Anyone using Ammara or Pure Music with Tidal? I have Amarra for Tidal on my Mac. I have had a lot of trouble with it. Dropouts and occasionally locks up. If I stream directly from the Tidal site I have no problems. The sound is very similar between the two. I can not recomment Amarro for Tida... | |
| Moto_Man's Scam Of The Week Another condemnation of a product by someone who has not heard the product. What total nonsense. I know record clamps work by altering the resonance characteristics of the record. I have heard this with my own $50 TTW clamp. If the Shun Mook was $... | |
| Ortofon 2M Black? In my system the Black is anything but thin. It is a great cartridge at its price point and even above its price pointAlan | |
| Learning the hard way about AC power solutions I have in the past plugged into the wall, used several filters including the Uber filter and finally bought a PurePower 1500 Regenerator with UPS backup. The regenerator was a major improvement in sound. My whole system is plugged into the regener... |
