| When does speaker distortion become audible? I'd be wary if you don't have good a/b capability. You may be listening to truncated information. The highs are critical to spatial presentation and what you were hearing before may have been a truthful exposure of the source limitations. I have a... | |
| Smartphone for the audiophile? very cool. Its really annoying that many android phones put the sd card behind the battery, whereas this allows you to never open up the case. Thanks for the tip Singleended!http://www.meenova.com/st/p/m3r.html | |
| Smartphone for the audiophile? the latest android phones work well because they have good processors, plenty of battery power and you can download a 192khz/24 bit player for high rez music. The gotcha with all is the 64gb sd card limit. Last I knew iPhone did not support 24 bit... | |
| Which component is most responsible? This has to come from the source or else nothing downstream can put back what was lost. Massed chorus music and complex full orchestra passages are extremely challenging to the entire audio chain so that it all needs to be right or else muddiness ... | |
| 24/192 Big Improvement Over 24/96???? Mgattmch...24/192 is better. The key thing with 24/192 is a cleaner sound that eliminates more digital artifacts/fatigue. You will get more expert advice on this question on the computer audiophile site. | |
| I'm a tube novice: Tube substitution? 7062's are a minor variant of 12AT7. Lots of not so great amperex 7062's available, I don't like them, the regular Amperex (Orange world globe) 12AT7's are better. People seem to like the older Bugle boy 12AT7 even more, can't say I've tried one | |
| Electrical interference in desktop system Curious, are you able to try a laptop instead? Wondering if this issue is noisy PC power supply... you can run a laptop on battery. | |
| DLNA Renderers: Sonore Rendu vs Moon Mind? The Oppo 103 and 105 used as a DMR don't support gapless instructions.Lots of posts on Oppo forums bemoaning this gapless issue. I run Windows server 2012 with JRMC as media controller for the Oppo. | |
| choose a DAC to complete my system Pelo911, the DAC is not your problem. Your cables have good reputationIf you are using a generic off the shelf, un-optimized PC then your sound will be incredibly mediocre for digital playbackOptions1) if computer savvy do the reading on computer ... | |
| DLNA Renderers: Sonore Rendu vs Moon Mind? Sigh, if only the 105 supported gapless as a DMR. I'd love to go that path | |
| I need help diagnosing a sibilant problem on vinyl John_tracy, thanks that's good information and timely. The phono section of my CJ pre amp has a noisy channel and since that's acted up I've been thinking of finally tossing in the towel on Grado Signatures and going to a Dynavector MC setup. So I... | |
| I need help diagnosing a sibilant problem on vinyl that would be boring after having done TT setups professionally for 4 years in the 80's. Far more interesting is reading techniques for arm bearing friction optimization, tone arm wand rigidity and arm resonance damping technology. Tonearm cartrid... | |
| Still mystified by mega expensive power cords My impression is this part of audio still lives in the midieval world of blind acceptance where the users don't seem willing to stand up and demand progress to at least the age of enlightenment where you have to at least show empirical principles ... | |
| New KT150 tubes? The KT-120s sound fine but the internals of 1 were clearly not given a good visual QC... the posts (anode?) for the vertical glowing conductors are shorter above the top mica plate than the other 3 and guaranteed that when circuit protection cuts ... | |
| New KT150 tubes? will keep my fingers crossed that these will be better quality and can be used in place of KT-120's. Love the sound of the KT-120 but quality of manufacturing precision is erratic compared to the GL KT-88's they retired for my amp. Given what we s... |
