| What companies have gone above and beyond? Des,Thanks for mentioning Jim White at Theta. However you may now praise him for his work at Aesthetix. Theta's digital genus left and now builds the finest phono stage so we analog guys can get better music.Should you ever find yourself in need o... | |
| What companies have gone above and beyond? Ralph Karsten at Atmasphere spent many hours on the phone bailing me out when parts modifications went wrong. He did not even profit from sale of the parts being installed. They came from Mike Percy.In the end the improvements made me happier and ... | |
| Breaking in cables with FM static I had not thought of that Bob, that would work just as well while maintaining peace and quite in the living space. | |
| Breaking in cables with FM static The white noise from FM occurring between stations with the muting off contains wide spectrum information that could be used as you suggest. Reproducing this sound through the amp and speakers is not necessary unless they are the intended componen... | |
| Ortho Spectrum Speaker Filters? If they are as effective as the Walker HDL, they are worth trying. | |
| Will Microsoft kill DVD-A and SACD? Wonder if this technology could result in "Blue Speaker of Death" should the system crash?By the way Lugnut, I am equal in my admiration of Bill Gates as you. | |
| SACD finally taking-off? non-classical listeners Onhwy61, it is refreshing to read a post that is factual and informative. I am good friends with Russ Burger of RBDG. He is frequently featured in Spin magazine and is responsible for the design of several fine recording studios. Our conversations... | |
| SACD finally taking-off? non-classical listeners Great for us to evolve into a discussion of ECM and thinking about the music again. I have about 70 Watt and ECM records, and maybe only 15 CD's of same. | |
| SACD finally taking-off? non-classical listeners Marakanetz, your description is most likely what I heard when comparing the master digital tape against the (lower bit) Compact Disc.By the way, the tape was only a Sony DAT plugged into the master board so Andrew would have a personal copy. I ima... | |
| Dripping faucet leading to a flood; performed by? Have at look at this, beginning track 9. It is the only thing I can find that remotely connects to your description.http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=Aodo7gjir86iv | |
| Copy protection circa 1987 Great idea to post this Sdcampbell. For what it is worth, I have never copied or traded an album to anyone, nor do I download MP3 files.I at one time copied LP's that were my own, to cassette for my car. Now that there is CD in every car, I simply... | |
| SACD finally taking-off? non-classical listeners Unsound. I hope you are right. How nice it would be to sit with a remote control and choose the song you want, enjoying the same quality of sound provided by state of the art analog.I suspect it is possible. I have had the pleasure of listening to... | |
| SACD finally taking-off? non-classical listeners Since my name has been mentioned, here are a few issues that seem to have been overlooked.Ultimately, this is about music, and with over 6,500 LP's in my personal library the cost to replace with SACD (even at $9.95) would exceed $70,000.00. This ... | |
| Vinyl's Noise Floor It is possible to get vinyl as quiet as CD, but there are dozens of factors making an absolute yes or no answer difficult. Much Depends on how hard you want to work to get there.There is nothing in your post that hints at related equipment or qual... | |
| New Lowther Drivers. Great thread TWL, you are leading the way on this very interesting part of high end audio.I hope to get to a point where I can play in this realm of super simple, super efficient audio products. |
