So Many Apogees for sale, and so few takers
Josh358,"few areas an apogee will beat a tympani"Depending on which Apogee you mean I doubt the Tympani could do dynamics like an apogee. The sound of rattling on bass drums would soon appear with the Tympani.I had both apogee and maggies of all s... 
Biamping KEF 107/2s
So many years ago now since I had a pair, but as long as the bass units have a crossover you will be fine. I cannot remember where the crossover bass feeds came from now. I have a feeling it was all in the "head" and not in the bass compartment. I... 
Should Sound Quality of Computer Audio be improved
PO,as I said in my last post to condense the surround mix to stereo is no big deal really. They just fold down the rears change the panningn a little. Depending on the recording, one could pose more of a problem than another, but if it doesn't sou... 
Should Sound Quality of Computer Audio be improved
PO,the lack of availability of some recordings I guess is down to a lack of interest. The very reason SACD and the others failed to take off. It's a real shame. But if you know where to look you will find them.Regarding knowing which release is wh...

PO, You show your lack of understanding every time you post. Since you don't seem to read my posts I won't bother to correct you.Concern over opposing formats? Haha. I worry about it every second of the day. Read the above posts. You show your ign... 
Should Sound Quality of Computer Audio be improved
PO, you sir are plain wrong. Unfortunately on top of this not ready to listen. Continue the way you are.Do you really believe a site that prides itself on amazing quality and attention to detail, like let's say like Pristine Classical (32 bit mast... 
Should Sound Quality of Computer Audio be improved
PO,hfisher3380 is only saying disks, whatever the sample rate, would be unnessassary once the download is available. The download is the same file used to make the disk. You just run it from your HD rather than an optical drive.What's complicated?... 
Is a vinyl rig only worth it for oldies?
Rauliruegas,I completely agree. Even though I have fallen in love with an old SET for my playback!In the past we had to cover up the harsh reality of the sound that came out of DACs at the time, never mind the quality of the recording/mastering et... 
Is a vinyl rig only worth it for oldies?
Rauliruegas,I'm with you. I know guys who still swear by running instruments through a certain piece of analogue outboard gear. You can get depth that is hard to get otherwise. Plugins cannot do this... Yet!

PO you keep bring up this disk. As has been mentioned, whatever you already own you could back up and play at native sample rates. but no one is forcing you to do anything. Your disks will be around for a while.As for your multitrack surround soun... 
Should Sound Quality of Computer Audio be improved
I can't believe I am about to give PO some ammunition, but I have to tell it as it is. Deep breath...PO, your post to Timlub 07-20-12 raises a few points (sorry everyone else!)If you downloaded the identical file the mastering guy used. I.e the ra... 
Is a vinyl rig only worth it for oldies?
Raulirurgas,to answer your post to mapman if I may be so bold. People are synthesising these old pieces of kit because they have a sound. A sound which is familiar and much loved by many. Yes equipment is way better now as you mentioned but it has...

PO I think you spent too much time on the quarterdeck with rum rations!No one is denying you any format. But what I am saying is each format has a master which is a computer file (probably a WAV file)which they make disk format from. I.e CD/SACD/B... 
Is a vinyl rig only worth it for oldies?
To follow on from Mapman's point, there are many attempts to copy the analogue effects in the digital domain as plugins. Some are very good and not far off, and I can only see them getting more effective.I dream of a world where you plugin your sy...
