| I-Tunes-type software Audirvana, Amarra, and Pure Music all work with iTunes. Of these I preferred Audirvana. All have a trial so you can check them out and see how they handle Beethoven. FWIW I have moved on to JRiver to get off iTunes altogether. | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? I hid my unit under my bed and my wife stepped on it and sliced up her toes very bad...I am not going to ask because I don't even want to know. | |
| Are all asynchronous USB inputs similar? Davide256, I am with you on this one. I did like my set up with my USB converter, but UPnP via hard wired Ethernet is amazing me. Mac Mini with JRiver as the media server and library, Resolution Audio Cantata as the renderer, using either PlugPlay... | |
| Calling all Horn lovers The Edgarhorns are very interesting speakers. We have a couple sets at the shop Dr. Edgar made for Jack Elliano. We use them to test our 45 amp. In a couple weeks we will be visiting with Dr. Edgar who is interested in hearing our 300B on his set ... | |
| Are all asynchronous USB inputs similar? From my research I am not convinced taking the SPDIF output from the motherboard is the best approach, and I was never convinced USB was either, although I have used it extensively in the last 6 month because of the convenience. Not that guys like... | |
| transformers/output impedance To be clear, the use of a transformer can indeed reduce the output impedance, but there is a myth that adding loop negative feedback will too. It doesn't. I'll explain that further if anyone asks.That is what I always felt and have taken a lot of ... | |
| Are there guidlines to fix strange room acoustics? Try the diagonal set up as it tends to neutralize room nodes. However, do not set it up such that the center stage is in a corner. The diagonal should be off axis to a corner.Even though a room can be set up symmetrically this doesn't mean all thi... | |
| Hi Fi Dealer in New York City? Jeff Catalano at Highwater Sound. | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? I think it will work fine with the Prima Luna, but at 600mV you might not get too far around on the volume control. With my Music Reference RM-10 that is 800mV I get to about 11 o'clock before I reach my preferred listening level. | |
| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house In looking over some things I find myself revisiting Gordon Rankin's Crimson and Cosecant USB DAC designs. Some nice work from one of the pioneers of computer audio. | |
| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house Andrew, I heard the Laminar streamer in it's infancy about 3 years ago at RMAF. It certainly has some promise, and I thought it sounded good going through a DAC 2004. However, I fear it will be grossly overpriced given the technology used. In fact... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Not all linear power supplies are created equally. B_limo makes a good point as to the LSA not requiring a lot of current, and the LSA has it's own regulation, but any power supply can introduce noise into a system. If this Teradac somehow reduces... | |
| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house Bill, click on this link and scroll past the photos.http://lampizator.eu/szop/szopproducts/LZ-TRANSPORT/Lampizator%20transport.htmlYou will see two sections, one called Example of System Set-up and one called Example of New System. The latter desc... | |
| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house What's wrong with flat? To me that means no artificial emphasis of any frequency. You want emphasis or de-emphasis get an equalizer or something with tone controls. The TADs let you hear exactly what is coming from the source through your associat... | |
| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house JWM, I actually enjoyed the presentation of the Cessaro's better from the upper listening position. Same with the TAD in our room. Not that the lower level was bad, but after listening to music non-stop for 8 to 10 hours a day it's nice to get a l... |
