| Good phono Cable for my Project rpm10/grado sonata Yossie, I've been pleased so far with the stock cable that came with my RM10. You should let your cartridge fully break in before really tweaking.If you go through with a switch, please write a review for the rest of us Pro-ject owners. Isn't it a... | |
| Considering going Vinyl--Please talk me out of it The point about Hi Def digital surpassing analog has legs, but I think it's flawed. I came back to analog recently (never got rid of my old albums and most of them are in A-condition). I bought a Pro-ject RM10 with a Sumiko Blackbird cartridge for... | |
| How can I transfer my records to cd? Best quality Yes, the results with good front end and quality A-D is truly amazing.I find that you CAN get good results burning with a computer; however, there is a minefield of setting that you can get wrong. All the settings on the computer must be optimized... | |
| Korg MR1000 as Analog Archiver It's got USB digital I/O. It won't run through an external DAC, but I don't know of one that'll handle 5.6MHz anyway.So far, I've been marking the LP tracks manually as I record. Done that way, it's easy to jump from track to track and rename with... | |
| How can I transfer my records to cd? Best quality Two things Tudor, first, you're right to suggest monitoring with headphones, even with the best possible TT, you'll improve the quality of the transfer substantially. Many people fail to realize this and end up with marred recordings.Second, I fin... | |
| How can I transfer my records to cd? Best quality Ozzie, the Korg hooks into the computer via USB and then you can down-convert the files with software that comes with it. From there, you can burn DVD-A using a plug-in to Windows Media.Like I said before, if you enjoy vinyl and actually listen to... | |
| How can I transfer my records to cd? Best quality I think that the people that find this too much trouble don't actually enjoy their vinyl. Since I listen to vinyl 90% of the time when I'm at home, it's no real bother to turn on the Korg MR1000 to record an album and remembering to jump up to key... | |
| How can I transfer my records to cd? Best quality The Korg MR1000 allows you to record at 1-bit 5.6MHz sampling rate onto a 40GB hard drive. That's the best archival quality that I've found. You can then downconvert and record to DVD-Audio for recordings that will be superior to Redbook CDs.Searc... | |
| Analog Help Please Does it mistrack through your cans? If so, then it's a tonearm/cartridge problem. Since you say you've realigned the cartridge, then I'm thinking it's the antiskate, either not set at the right level, or binding. Is the mistracking always in one c... | |
| What's your profession? Age? Wow, nice to see all the diversity of ages and professions. I'll be 60 in two weeks and make my living as a risk analyst for mortgage banks.Dave | |
| Stereophile Article - Holt telling it like it is. "Dcstep, a audio club recently did and discovered they could not hear any difference between items under test. Interesting comment by them-but what does it say?"Well Psacanli, maybe there was no difference; however, some will say the test was flaw... | |
| Review: Conrad Johnson CA200 Amplifier I thought I'd offer a couple of addendums after another week of listening and putting my Woo Audio WA6 headphone amp and AKG K701 headphones into the system:First, the over all darkness relative to the Bryston doesn't bother me in the least. It's ... | |
| Name your favorite sax solo. Perhaps it's been exposed too much, but Paul Desmond on "Take Five" defined a style. No alto player since has dared use those hard reeds and dry tone. To me, it's the definition of how jazz alto should sound. Of course, Pauls discography is a trea... | |
| Stereophile Article - Holt telling it like it is. Camino, I think that subjective testing is partially in response to people like Julian Hirsch of Stereo Review, claiming that if you couldn't measure a difference there would be no audible difference. We now know that he wasn't measuring everythin... | |
| Stereophile Article - Holt telling it like it is. The problem with surround isn't the format, but inability to record great artists economically. Hardly anyone can afford to record a symphony orchestra in two-channel, much less surround.Most people are happy with processed, synthetic surround, so... |
