| Vinyl vs high def audio i.e. 24bit / 96 or 192khz @folkfreak Thanks for the suggestion! I'll definitely check those out. I think I got some pretty helpful suggestions here so thanks all for that! I want to point out two things though:One, I am not a fan of specification based decision making. My ... | |
| Vinyl vs high def audio i.e. 24bit / 96 or 192khz On a side note, anyone a Celtic music fan? I almost listen exclusively to Celtic music. Here are some artists I listen to: Loreena McKennitt Enaid -- Avalon - A Celtic Legend Méav Ní Mhaolchatha EnyaI also have some albums from Sara Brig... | |
| Vinyl vs high def audio i.e. 24bit / 96 or 192khz @atmasphere Actually I understand your point. It's true that the original master digital file could be closer to the original. It's not completely lossless like Vinyl -- I'm no expert, but do they sample above 786khz / 32 bit depth? If not, I ma... | |
| Vinyl vs high def audio i.e. 24bit / 96 or 192khz I've been reading a lot of chats between modern-day vinyl users. The final "nail to the coffin" that made me decide to continue my digital path is exactly what @atmasphere mentioned: the master file isn't even being used. I read that in many moder... | |
| KT88 vs 6550 tubes @dentdog thats true. I didn’t like the EAT tubes at all as they sounded muddy and lacked bass, despite being priced at $450 each. Popped my RCA 6550s and unit came back to life lol. I’ll see if I can track down a quad of black plates | |
| KT88 vs 6550 tubes @dentdog actually there are also some original British Mullard KT88s. I’m not sure whether they are safe to buy because of my previous problem with the KT88s | |
| KT88 vs 6550 tubes @dentdog there are quite a few Tung Sol NOS black plates on eBay. Are they not the same? I mean there’s no way to fake those things based on what I’ve read. | |
| KT88 vs 6550 tubes Well, I don’t know man. The MC275 doesn’t even have a bias adjustment knob and manual says I can use both. No, no cherry red, just the golden glow like the color of a light bulb. | |
| Vinyl vs high def audio i.e. 24bit / 96 or 192khz "Since you already have excellent content, why on earth add another source where you have no content at all? Instead, why not just invest in a better dac / reclocker-regenerator / cable combo... Best!"Yup, I agree. This is the best advice. Thanks... | |
| Increase total Speaker Impedance -- Potential Solution Hello! Thanks all for your input and thanks @almarg for your expertise again! The reason I needed to figure out a way to increase the impedance of my DIY unit is that the Zero Autoformers will soon have another use. I purchased a tube amp to be... | |
| Carver 275 Crimson tube amp --- any feedback appreciated @whitestix I was lucky to obtain a Mcintosh MC 275 tube amp at ridiculous price. I will test it with the MLs and let you know how it goes. Meanwhile, I found the following explanation from another user which I think really helped me understand why... | |
| Carver 275 Crimson tube amp --- any feedback appreciated @steakster thank you for the detailed feedback! You may just have saved me $4,500 going for that Mcintosh 275. @whitestix yes I would think so, but despite this logic, I’ve heard from many places, including the ML owners forum that some people swe... | |
| Carver 275 Crimson tube amp --- any feedback appreciated @steakster I know this is an old post but it’s interesting you mentioned tube amps works best with speakers with flat impedance curve. I was told that electrostatics like Martin Logan are best paired with a tube. However these speakers have very v... |
