| Vinyl playback is still a secret Wildoats - Why did you ever leave the black circle? :-) I grew up on digital and still can't believe how much more organic LP playback is versus redbook CD. The only complaint I have it why did it take so long for me to finally jump in? Evidently ... | |
| Have CDP with multiple digital inputs. Now what? DVD player, satellite TV, maybe if your video game system has S/PDIF output? Also consider a computer based media server with digital audio out? Or a DVD/CD megachanger/jukebox. Just about anything you would plug into an outboard DAC you could lik... | |
| Recommendations for Composite Video Cable? I liked Tributaries cheapie stuff. Better than the cheapie straightwire composite cables (ghostbuster?) that I had before. Be sure to get at least 2 meter, and 1 meters seem to be a hard resell on the used market. Plus you'll have more length to w... | |
| Sony SCD-1:Is it time to tweak or upgrade to new? Jadem6, at $10k it's competition would be Meitner's SACD DAC. Read the following RE: PFO's David Robinson (Mr. "I don't Drive Stock") who switched from a hot-rodded SCD-1 to the stock Meitner. http://www.audioasylum.com/forums/dvda/messages/7909.h... | |
| would you bother? I'm 26 and didn't own a single record 1 year ago. Like most of the young posters in this thread, I bought the records because I was curious. I played them on a friend's rig until I could get my own analog setup. I did the same with video games, mo... | |
| Talkin' bout YOUR generation... Metallica and Pantera. | |
| After 5 years, format war? What format war? Went SACD, then wised up and went vinyl. | |

| Your favorite recent discovery Bloodbath. It has the lead vocalist from Opeth. That's death metal for those unfamiliar with the genre. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Family Values Tour 1999. | |
| What item sold you cannot live without?? Nothing. I sold them off because I did not want them anymore. | |

| O.K. Fess Up. Come Clean. Sing Like A Canary. 10 minutes once on a Dynavector 20X-H cart. But like Dan_ed my listening sessions are too 'ritualized' between the tubes and vinyl. Normally I can beat the cart to the lead out groove. :-) | |
| Guidance for a college student... Well it looks like the Wadia inputs support 48k, 44.1k, and 32k inputs (at up to 24bit word length, I assume). See http://www.wadia.com/news/contents/2496upg.htm. That is going to be what your DVD player with output. PCM at either 48k or 96k and u... | |
| Digital Front End: Critical Listening Hmm. Sjh32 it would seem a USB fed buffer (or IEEE1394 or similar async bus) would be the next logical step for the Levinson DAC, IMNSHO. A USB interface could, in theory, offer better performance for the same or less money. But it's all speculati... |
