| re-burn in? is there such a thing. Whoa, both Markphd and Nsgarch, getting a little deep here, and especially after Levy said something about not "expound audiophile thingies". Guess a couple people around here must have missed that particular comment. Definely there is a differenc... | |
| re-burn in? is there such a thing. Well, Levy You might want to do an extended run with some of your favorite CDs just to see. Over a two or three hour period, yours ears will tell you what you need to know. Bottom line, does your music sound right and if it does, then that's all ... | |
| re-burn in? is there such a thing. You know I think it does. I recently had to sale two of my CDPs (NAD C542 and Jolida JD100), and go back to an older (90s era) Onkyo changer that I hadn't used for about three years. Everything else in the system stayed the same. At first, the cha... | |
| Marantz 5001 cd player The Marantz CD5003 DOES have a detachable powercord, but one needs to remember the cord has a C-7 type of connection, instead of an IEC connection. About the only audio companies that I found (so far) that have powercords with the C-7 connection a... | |
| Townes Van Zandt fans? ... and this is review from the Houston Press. Guess I'm going to buy this recording this weekend. "Considered by many to be the best Americana songwriter, living or dead, Townes Van Zandt certainly never made it the way Steve Earle has. But on To... | |
| Townes Van Zandt fans? Understand Steve Earle has just released his tribute to Townes Van Zandt simply called "Townes". Haven't had a chance to get this recording, but if anybody should do a tribute to Townes it's Steve Earle as Steve was most certainly a protégé of Tow... | |
| NOS DAC or CDP? "Cleanedup- You've obviously stumbled into a controversial area."Without a doubt, and both sides make good points in supporting their arguments on which types of DACs are best at doing the digital to analog conversion. As such I'm still in the res... | |
| NOS DAC or CDP? Clio09,Thanks for the "heads up" about pairing a NOS DAC with the Monarchy DIP. Sounds like an affordable way of dealing with a possibe jitter issue. Also I'll do some more research on the Valab DAC. I read a few things about it, and most of it po... | |
| NOS DAC or CDP? Kijanki,IF I came across as rude, it because you came across as condensending. Now IF (operative word) I do decide to go the NOS DAC route in my system, then I'll be doing so with the full knowledge that it may or may not work to my expectations, ... | |
| NOS DAC or CDP? " I suspect that you like warm sound that I don't care for." Kijanki,You're absolutely right, and I said so earlier in my intial post. Now if you don't care for that particular sound presentation that your business, to each his own. Basically I ap... | |
| NOS DAC or CDP? Kijanki,Exactly what spec do I check? Looking at my owner's manual I find this information. "Proprietary AccuPulse Quartz System with Polysorb virtually elimates the possibility of timing errors in the in the clock oscillator" "Wow and Flutter: Be... | |
| NOS DAC or CDP? " I would avoid using optical unless you need to break ground loops."Unfortunately, the digital output on my changer is an opitical one. Amd yes I understand that NOS DACs are senitive to jitter, but how would one determine in advance whether ones... | |
| NOS DAC or CDP? First of all thanks for the responds so far (and please keep them coming). First of all if I go the NOS DAC route, I would be running the DAC between the changer/transport and my amp (Jolida 502a), basically not thinking of going the computer rout... | |
| Recommend speakers for a restaurant sound system I love how people start threads "askimg specific questions" but yet never seem to drop back by after asking the orginal question. IMHO it's somewhat rude. Seriously how hard is stop back by and thank people for their input, and maybe even elaborat... | |
| Internet Direct Speakers.. Axiom M80 Thoughts Btw, I see the M80 has several good reviews, but for me I don't care for metal tweeters. Never heard one that I liked. |
