| Pre-amp with balanced suggestions? The MP-3 mentioned earlier can have the phono stage installed at a later date if desired. The phono section is fully differential and balanced; FWIW historically was/is the first balanced phono stage ever built. | |
| Which is more accurate: digital or vinyl? Ralph, what do you feel is the more significant limiting factor for redbook, sample rate or bits per sample? Just curious.Well, the Nyquist theorem is looking for an exact sample (IOW with no limitation of resolution) in order to work, by definiti... | |
| Phono Pre-amp with XLR quote]However making a balanced amp is more expensive since you will need almost twice the components.[/quote]It is more expensive but you do not need twice the components. Maybe 50% more if you are talking tubes, maybe not even that if you are ta... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? I knew this guy that used a pigskin platter pad... he would buy *raw* pigskin at the local slaughterhouse, cut it out and kept the thing in a jar in the 'fridge when not in use, until the bacteria got to it... the LPs tended to get greasy and smel... | |
| Opinions on Graaf Amps Zebshaw, likely the problem you are having has more to do with the power tubes than the amp.A simple way to get greater reliability out of the tubes is, if you have a new set, put them in the amp and run it in Standby for about 2 days, and the bia... | |
| Reel to Reel; Digital players ; & Turntables/LP's reel to reel is still number one.LP is right behind.Both analog formats have continued to improve.The best digital is number three. Digital has a lot more potential than is ever practically realized. Unfortunately **too much** unrealized potential... | |
| Which is more accurate: digital or vinyl? I'm stumped on that one. Why is that?re-read my previous posts. The Nyquist theorem is poorly applied. I will add that until human perceptual rules are understood and kept in mind during the design of the 'next' digital codex, digital will continu... | |
| Which is more accurate: digital or vinyl? Just wondering how good is your hearing at 19-20Khz?Certainly not as good as it was...Bandwidth problems can be heard without 20KHz response in the ear though. A cutoff at 20KHz has artifacts that extend down to 2KHz. This is why amps and preamps ... | |
| Which is more accurate: digital or vinyl? Yes. Nyquist assumes an analog sample of unlimited resolution, not a 16-bit sample. Its application to digital audio is thus, not. Ah, people don't like to talk about this! Or they do but it just turns into a ridiculous argument. But I suggest any... | |
| Does High End In Wall Speaker Wire Exist? Before you go ahead and hide speaker wires in the wall, set up the system with the wire and length you have in mind, and see what it sounds like.I think you will find that 25 feet is not a good idea for speaker cables, regardless of the brand or m... | |
| Great lost lps...the 80s....synth pop and others.. Yello of course made a number of great LPs in the 1980s, but they are still around. Their latest, Touch (2009), will appeal to any Yello fan. They have continued to refine their craft! | |
| Electronics cleaner Once the switch has been sprayed (meaning that the spray got to the inside of the switch) it should be rapidly operated about 20-30 times, else the treatment will do no good. Deoxit is effective but should be used sparingly. The trick is to get th... | |
| Which is more accurate: digital or vinyl? When you bake a tape, it takes a few years for it to regain the moisture chased out while baked. IOW, you have plenty of time to work with the tape- certainly more than 48 hours.The reason you have to bake them has nothing to do with whale oil :) ... | |
| Which is more accurate: digital or vinyl? I am very used to hearing things that are hard to see on the oscilloscope. Interestingly, instrument manufacturers use a different rule for scanning a signal. The rule of thumb is 10x the highest frequency to be displayed.This is quite different f... | |
