| Thinking about getting a R2R DAC Accurate meaning what was picked up by the microphone, not what you think it should sound like which is the reference most audiophiles use almost all. | |
| Thinking about getting a R2R DAC It sounds wonderful to you and that is all that matters and yes you very well may enjoy those artifacts though depending on age may not hear the bulk of them. It gives a light and airy sound to redbook. Some love it. Embrace it but don't confuse ... | |
| AB Testing Experiences That post was ignorant level 1. Our whole concept of tone balance is tied to volume. Change the volume, our perceived tone balance changes and no amount of listening experience will ever change that. Increasing volume also brings out detail that c... | |
| Bought some 14/2 “speaker wire” from Home Depot It would be pure copper as pretty much all residential 14 awg Romex is. How will tinning the ends change the sound? 96% may have lead may not. | |
| Thinking about getting a R2R DAC What happens when you feed them 16/44.1?Or are you assuming the music is already upsampled as the vast majority of music is not native 24/192. Not just upsampled but filtered as well.There is not much justification for NOS. None really except for ... | |

| vinyl versus digital redux Atmosphere, the op was referring to master tapes which in general will be stored properly for any media company of note and for which my comment applied. Note my next sentence.The biggest concern is break down of the underlying binder for the mag... | |
| Amp repair cost — is this right? Based on the comments I will take that bet. A bunch show evidence of understanding the work just fine. It's the ones that go off on a tangent with esoteric replacement parts that make me pause. | |
| Negotiate good price Whether this really happened or not, I have no clue, but if I owned the store, the sales person would probably be looking for a new job at some point for one of two reasons. One, because they were not good (or smart) enough to qualify the custome... | |
| Who are your three favorite female singers? How do you do a list like this unless you break it down by genre? It is like comparing Freddy Mercury to Luciano Pavarotti, or Julio Iglesious. They are all phenomenal in their respective genres, but there are other greats in those genres as well.... | |
| 1st Post Intro & Ramblings Realistically most of the time you have no clue "who" designed the product no matter whose name may be thrown around. It will be some engineer no one has heard of. Unless the "talent" has shares, it is best not to make them into figure heads. | |
