| Marantz and Stereophile? erik_squires... you take them far too seriously. Don’t be so innocent. Stereophile has a lot of agendas going on and they may not align with yours.That's quite a claim. Of course, Stereophile does have to sell advertising, so I guess you could... | |
| CD ripping ghosthouseI associated the M4a extension with ALAC only. Didn’t realize, as Al points out, that M4A can also be for AAC. I didn't know m4a could be lossless, either. Thanks to Al for the info! Hence ASSumed you were talking about ALAC. Still, ... | |
| CD ripping cerrotWav or uncompressed flac. Sorry, but there's no such thing as "uncompressed flac." Flac is compressed, that's why it exists. It's lossless, but compressed. | |
| CD ripping ghosthouseNot sure about the correctness of cleeds comments w/respect to M4a from ALACHuh? I never mentioned ALAC. You must be confused. | |
| CD ripping M4a is a lossy compression format and inferior to the wav format. But wav files don’t accommodate meta data. If you’re going to rip your files again, it would probably be best to use a file type that has no loss - such as flac - but that can also ... | |
| What's the deal with idler turntables and do they have a place in modern HiFi? totem39573 posts.Regarding "stylus drag" affecting the speed of a properly designed turntable with a platter of sufficient mass:Not measurable was put to rest forever. This was talked to death in the Sutherland Timeline thread You're clearly m... | |
| What's the deal with idler turntables and do they have a place in modern HiFi? harold-not-the-barrelStylus drag is surprisingly strong, platter´s very high mass helps but does not eliminate it. I'm with Thom. There's absolutely no measurable or audible slowing of a turntable platter caused by "stylus drag" if the platter is... | |
| Paradigm Signature V2 vs JL Audio F113 mendocinomat... INFINITY SYSTEMS..nuclear engineer responsible for the first servo controlled speaker in 1969 infinity servo static 1A was $50k back when hotdogs were a nickel ...Huh? Your memory has failed you.From the 11/75 edition of Stereo... | |
| What's the deal with idler turntables and do they have a place in modern HiFi? thom_mackris... I’ve seen stylus tracing induce speed instability on some turntables but not on Galibiers. Mass absolutely helps.Agreed! If the movement of a phono cartridge stylus affects the speed of a turntable, there is something very wrong ... | |
| What's the deal with idler turntables and do they have a place in modern HiFi? decibellI believe it is safe to say that maintaining absolute platter speed in the presence of an ever changing load (friction from needle tip) is physically impossible! Please explain how the speed of a 22-pound spinning platter can be alter... | |
| Bi-amping Rules czarivey When you bi-amp, you become a speaker designer, like it or not.Not necessarily. Some speaker systems are designed to be biamplified. | |
| Bi-amping Rules kalali But gain aside, I still don't quite understand the need for an outboard crossover to control the frequency between the HF and LF sections since both amps are feeding full range and each section of the speaker still operates within its... | |
| Bi-amping Rules aewhistoryWhat I don't get about the entire concept of using SS for low freq and tubes for high freq is there will always be a dramatic power differential. So how can you begin to balance out the sound levels coming from your tweeter and wo... | |
| What's the deal with idler turntables and do they have a place in modern HiFi? thom_mackris Given how we've learned that a stylus tracking at 2 gm. can modulate the speed of even a massive platter ...I've seen this claim before, but never seen any proof of it. I've measured the speed of my turntable with it 22-pound platt... | |
| What Does a Cartridge Compliance/Tonearm Mass Mismatch Sound Like? The stylus may leap out of the groove, and visible pumping of the woofers is also common. |
