| NAS with RAID for streaming to Sonos Connect flrun... RAID is not really meant for backup? RAID is the definition of backup ...RAID is for protection against HD failure, it's not intended for backups. For example, RAID won't help you if your system becomes infected with malware, or if you l... | |
| Are the loudness wars fake so record companies can destroy the music? Normalization has nothing at all to do with this. A recording with very limited dynamic range will sound "louder" than one with a wide dynamic range. It will sound that way even when "normalized" because its average volume is higher. If you’re on... | |
| Are the loudness wars fake so record companies can destroy the music? n80... most of what people hear through ear buds is normalized ... if that normalization decreases the volume of overly compressed songs there is no real benefit even where there is background noise. The softer bits will be made softer by th... | |
| Are the loudness wars fake so record companies can destroy the music? n80The problem is that compression doesn’t actually make it sound as good as possible on typical devices and normalization often renders even that ’effect’ pointless. I don’t know why you’re having so much trouble understanding this because it’s r... | |
| Looking for a front end streamer only. nekoaudio ... you should look at Aurender or Lumin.The OP is interested in Roon, which Aurender doesn't support. | |
| Cartridge Opinions - Sorry mijostyn ... If you want a good cartridge you have to get yourself a Jan Jallaerts MC2 Formula 1. It easily out performs any cartridge ever made ...Will you please tell us what makes this phono cartridge so outstanding? What pickup arm have you ... | |
| 100v,115v versus 230v tednep... you only use half the current in 220-240V hifi. Watt is watt no matter where you are. So if a amplifier is 220W it only uses 1 Amp. current in europe, but 2 Amp. in the US. So it is twice as hard on the internal of the amp ...That is mi... | |
| Thoughts on DAT tape? Any users? I can see only disadvantages to recording digital to tape. Tape is inherently prone to wear and breakage, plus there's the cost of the media itself. Why not just record direct to HD or SSD? | |
| Why Do 12" Tonearms Cost So Much More Than 9"? mijostyn ... The Reed 5T and the Schroder LT do not have fixed horizontal bearings. Both arms are free to move horizontally just like any pivoted tonearm.That’s pretty obvious. But if the horizontal pivot itself is fixed, then the arm will generat... | |
| Why Do 12" Tonearms Cost So Much More Than 9"? mijostynThe Reed 5T and the Schroder LT are very similar arms ... and if set up correctly do not generate any skating force. They have to be right on the tangent, the turntable has to be dead level and the record has to be dead flat. All of these ... | |
| Why Do 12" Tonearms Cost So Much More Than 9"? uberwaltzSimple math states that from a pivot point of A to a fixed point of B that the greater the length between A and B is then the greater the measured error will be at point B from a change at point A.What "measured error" are you talking abo... | |
| Why Do 12" Tonearms Cost So Much More Than 9"? mijostyn Schroder LT.The Reed 5T is another example. These arms stay tangent to the record, do not skate and totally avoid the problem of very high horizontal mass which plagues the vast majority of designs. Any pivoted arm is subject to skate... | |
| something is not right here and it's on purpose!!! nitroxproThe reason that people can’t hear distortion is that there is NO real "standard hearing test."Huh? People most certainly can hear distortion, and that ability has nothing to do with standardized testing. By the way, extensive hearing stud... | |
| Do Audiophile Cables Matter? Here's PROOF! jasonnewell... naysayers are almost always engineers, either professionally or via years of hands-on experience in labs, studios, etc. They understand intrinsically the scientific method as well as bias. They can also read scopes ...You might want... | |
| McIntosh MR78 upgrades? lewmcleeds, I am not in any way challenging your statement that FM radio is a "huge industry" in the US, but with all respect can you explain the why and how that works?Sure, @lewm . There are more than 10,000 FM radio stations in the US and more ... |
