mikelavignei have over 1000 2xdsd rips of my own vinyl, none of which measure up to a direct comparison of my vinyl. and many hundreds of high rez tape transfers from the same tape as my vinyl.i enjoy those digital transfers all the time. th...

millercarbonMichael Fremer has been making digital files from records for years. Very few of us ever will hear some of the super high end cartridges he reviews. But we can hear them via digital files. He’s played them for many people at many shows... 
Distortion on the Power Line
three_easy_paymentsSo let's say you correctly identify neighbor's A/C or solar panels as the culprit. What's the point? The point is that that you would then know the problem is not with your service entrance or from something inside your home.  
is it possible to make digital audio sound like vintage vinyl
mikelavigneit all depends on your reference for how vintage vinyl should sound.Quite so!if you actually have a high level vinyl playback system and actual vintage vinyl to directly compare it to......then hell no! you are not going to make digita... 
is it possible to make digital audio sound like vintage vinyl
stevejewelsSimple question. What does sampling rate mean? The rate at which the original analog source is SAMPLED. The digitizing process only keep data which occurs at the sampling interval. The rest is ignored and lost.What you state seems i...

stevejewels Is it possible to make a digital file sound like an analog LP? Indistinguishably? No It’s not only possible, it’s not even that difficult to do. When you digitize a file you select some of the information to keep and some to discard.No... 
Suspected power fluctuations on new 20A Circuit
msafrick I'd also like to better understand what is occurring that causes a click, from an electrical point of view.The regulator works to maintain a steady output voltage even as the input voltage may rise or fall. There are various ways to do...

heaudio123Digitize a turntable with a good A/D and play it back with a good DAC. Will you be able to tell the difference? That’s a $1 million question.My vinylphile friends don’t like it when I say this but: It is possible to make a digital copy ... 
Are manufacturer AC cables good enough?
geoffkaitNoone said blind tests are irrelevant. You’re putting words in my mouth. What I said is they don’t mean anything. They only mean something when there is a preponderance of evidence from many tests, independent from each other That’s essen...

stringreenmijostyn.....I suspect you are way off. Most mirrors are silvered in the back and therefore you’ll have a great deal of error with the stylus resting on the glass with a few mm to the silver.Oh no, not at all. The distance between th...

kozkaA typical thread on audio forums where exotic power cords, exotic speaker cables, interconnects, vibration pads/puck(?) are dwelled upon consists of:1.snake oil salesman en force...best markups for them2.suckers who spent money on those, also... 
Are manufacturer AC cables good enough?
heaudioI made the claim that SR and others claim to do double blind tests but none of them to my knowledge had done a properly administered double blind test in public ...So what? Who cares?I've been a participant in a few double-blind listen...

djones51 ... The more I read about "electricity" the more satisfied i am with my basic cables.Yes, that's known as "confirmation bias."  Very common. Many of us have been there; many of us started as skeptics.
