| Amazon Music - how does it compare??? Here is something that really gives me pause when considering investing a lot of time in Amazon. They provide very limited support for importing and exporting playlists. Most other platforms are pretty good. This is an app that can automate those ... | |
| 1st Post Intro & Ramblings I thought you were done with this thread? Still digging?Leave the center channel on. There is still depth and width. Tell us, how do your "ears" determine depth or distance? Inquiring minds want to know. | |
| Digital Bottom Feeding I would agree Mahler. Past a certain price point, not exceptionally high, digital is more about getting the flavor you like as opposed to getting more detail out of the bits. With a vinyl setup, the diminishing returns point is much higher. If you... | |
| Is business that good ? A lot of businesses are just trying to keep their head above water, with reduced staff, traditional office staff now distributed, etc. Service levels almost everywhere are not what they once were. | |

| vinyl versus digital redux No, I said that properly stored tapes (we were discussing stored studio master tapes) hold up very well (they do). Properly stored means temperature and humidity controlled, though primarily humidity. If you don’t store it properly it is toast.htt... | |
| Why I enjoy my Luminous Audio passive unit, vs an additional gain stage ( preamp ) Thank you atmasphere, that is what I assumed the answer was. One aspect of the balanced line standard is in fact that it is low impedance- there is in essence a termination standard, whereas with single-ended there is not. The low impedance aspe... | |
| Has anybody tried using single solid core cables? @runnin , The impact of the inductance of ROMEX will far exceed any impact of skin resistance at audio frequencies, i.e. 20KHz. runnin397 posts11-16-2015 1:10pmOn using romex or "HomeDepot" wire, there is a drawback. Larger gauge copper has skin ... | |
| How do I pay? This is UPS COD terms as an option for you. At worse case, the shipper is out the shipping charge, so perhaps you pay the shipping charges in good faith as you are not the shipper, and the rest is COD. Make a written contract with details of exact... | |
| Are cable recommendations worth anything? Care to give examples of something 100% provable where results came back 50-50 with a double blind test? How can you skew bias when you have no idea what is being tested. That makes no sense.Double blind tests are nothing more than a parlor tric... | |
| The secret to a great amplifier... A 20-30VA transformer that would be common in sources, and some pre-amps, etc. will have a DC resistance of 25-150 ohms. A Eaton Bussmann 10A/250V fast acting fuse typical dc resistance =0.008Ω and a typical power relay contact resistance = 0.1Ω !... | |

| Are cable recommendations worth anything? There is no open-and shut on double blind, as that door was shut ages and ages ago. Double blind works. If you don't eliminate bias (which double blind does), then the results of any subjective test are suspect. The only definitive aspect of a dou... | |
| A Very Useful New Discovery--EON Digital Filter from Network Acoustics The last business I sold the official company address was my house, which about 2/5th was converted to work space but most work was done remote. Everything was built at a CM, we would do QC there, and drop ship, and had a logistics/warehouse compa... | |
