| Buying Equipment Based on Philosophy??? If I had the money I would buy the Ongaku amp without actually hearing it, and then build a system around it. That is philosophy. | |
| patricia barber - diana krall - holly cole Peyroux’s "Blue Room" is soul through and through. Once I got my stereo system tuned up it began to do justice to things like "Companion" on 44.1. Downloaded my version off of allflac.com and did my usual conversion of it from flac to wav before ... | |

| When CDs first came onto the market in 1982 ....... The more recently recorded and mastered CD's from artists like Deuter do not sound "loudness war" compressed to me. I have heard that the commercial CD burns now do not engage in such travesty to the extent they that they used to. | |
| Converting my CD Collection from .FLAC to .WAV I am burning CD's only. That's my storage. I continue to be impressed with .wav files on my Cd transport to dac to amplifiers system, and further impressed by Cd's that have been burned from my digital files at slow speeds. My theory is becoming ... | |
| Converting my CD Collection from .FLAC to .WAV Another factor may be CD burn speed. Since music Cd's have traditionally been burned at low speeds to preserve data integrity, I reset the burn speed in Windows Media Player to "slow," and this has resulted in yet another layer of glare disappeari... | |

| Converting my CD Collection from .FLAC to .WAV Ok - good comments.

| When CDs first came onto the market in 1982 ....... However CD density would have to go way up. | |
| When CDs first came onto the market in 1982 ....... Quad DSD CD's and the rigs to play them. That's what I am hoping gets to be ubiquitous and more affordable. | |

| Converting my CD Collection from .FLAC to .WAV I am not interested in "metadata" - this is not a server farm I am running here. My Cd's are kept in their own in Progo DVD cases, and I can add all the metadata I want to accompany them in those cases. This is just some guy burning his own CD... | |
| Is a highly discerning system enjoyable? Building a good stereo system is building a nervous system that should insinuate itself into yours but not necessarily comply with yours. It’s like raising a child. There are factors impinging on it that we haven’t yet sussed out and that may neve... | |
| Four Hour Tube Amp Warm-Up Since I initiated this thread things have changed for the better. Now my set up is sounding very acceptable after an hour warm up. Tweaking has helped. All the power cables are Anticables, and they are all plugged directly into the wall now excep... | |
| Four Hour Tube Amp Warm-Up By far the most incredible listening session happened two days ago after the PL's had been accidentally left on for 7 hours. Technically, the Sophia EL 34 power tubes may not be "fully" broken in yet, but they have about a 100 hours on them of pla... |
