| HD radio You'll be interested in the following extensive review:http://ham-radio.com/k6sti/xdr-f1hd.htmIt does seem like a remarkable and innovative product, although I would suspect that the sophisticated digital signal processing which is used to achieve... | |
| recommended Analog-to-Digital convertors? You're welcome!Upon further checking, SDHC Speed Class 6 is indeed specified as 6 megaBytes per second (=48 megabits per second).You may be familiar with B&H, if you are involved in video. They carry the Sound Devices 702 at the (excellent) $1... | |
| analog to digital Do these things ever come up for sale on audiogon - and where would you look for them - under analog or digital? (I haven't seen them on either).I don't recall noticing any listings here for adc's or digital recorders since I became a member last... | |
| recommended Analog-to-Digital convertors? Al, Until Panasonic releases their Class 10 SDHC cards, I believe the best available are Class 6 which guarantees a 6mb/s (presumably write) rate. Wouldn't that still cause problems for the Sound Devices 702 at 24/192/2?No, for several reasons:-- ... | |
| analog to digital Correction: The last word of the first sentence of my previous post should obviously be "converter," not "recorder."-- Al | |
| Ortofon 2M Red Not Happy Need advice I believe the Ruby retailed for $300, in 1980 dollars, not sure though.That's not too far off. I just pulled out my original purchase receipts :). In 1980 I purchased a non-Ruby F9E for $169 plus tax. In 1983 I purchased a ruby stylus for it as pa... | |
| analog to digital With the BAT preamp having a phono stage and a tape output, you've got exactly what you need to provide an RIAA-equalized line-level signal to an a/d converter, or to a recorder that contains an a/d recorder. There are lots of choices, ranging fro... | |
| Ortofon 2M Red Not Happy Need advice Re Axel's good comments, the Grace F9E and F9E Ruby (I'm assuming it is the E version) had an elliptical stylus. However, based on my experience with both, and on what I recall reading from way back when, VTA/SRA needs to be set for it with the ar... | |
| Power Surge Damage Some components have standby modes or other design provisions which result in some of their circuitry always being powered up, as long as they are connected to ac. Also, anything that can be turned on with a remote control would have some circuitr... | |
| Convert speaker cables to interconnects? ? Not sure how you would be able to provide the shielding which is necessary for an interconnect, or how you would connect the heavy gauge speaker wire to an rca connector. Also, low capacitance can be important in an interconnect, depending on leng... | |
| How does processor loop work? Ah, so the processor loop really is for the external parametric equalizer. Not processor in "pre/pro", but a sound processor. And processor loop can't be used to provide HT integration. That was a source of confusion, as I've seen mentions to proc... | |
| recommended Analog-to-Digital convertors? Jenny -- You may be thinking of the ability (or inability) of USB 2.0 interfaces to handle 24/192 without intermittent breakup. Any reasonably contemporary cpu, such as a 2.5GHz (not MHz) Core 2 Duo, will not be the limiting factor in a computer f... | |
| recommended Analog-to-Digital convertors? Mdowns32 -- She wants an ADC (analog-to-digital converter), not a DAC (digital-to-analog converter)!Regards,-- Al | |
| How does processor loop work? If you have a cassette deck, or other tape deck or device such as a cd recorder, which can both record and play back, the preamp's tape out connectors (left and right) would be connected to the input (record) connectors of the deck (left and right... | |
| punk was an assault on disco Disco had its moments, too.I agree. Speaking from the perspective of someone whose listening is 95% classical music, it has always puzzled me why so many people are so negative about disco. The top hits of Donna Summer, Gloria Gaynor, Van McCoy, a... |
