| One can dream - ultimate ripping/streaming set up Inexpensive dbpoweramp software on any laptop with a CD/DVD reader via wireless to any CPU storage medium gets it done in minutes. | |
| What equipment have you bought this year so far ? Lots of LessLoss DIY 64x Firewalls for power cords, and a JCAT Net Card Femto for the computer. | |
| Record weights what type would be good for a Luxman PD171-A If you’re looking for a weight that will flatten an LP against the platter, anything above 1 lb. (like the Stillpoints LPI) will do it. I have an LPI, but have found that, except for severely cupped records, the lighter and less expensive Starsoun... | |
| APOXNA 2019--My Friday Morning Show Review You're forgiven. Nice reviews! | |
| APOXNA 2019--My Friday Morning Show Review Jeez, it’s Axpona!!! | |
| Where to get a modestly priced 5 volt Linear Power Supply? An ebayed 5V/2A Chinese Zerozone LPS is a bit more @$130 including shipping. I've had great results with this powering a JCAT Net Card Femto in my music server. | |
| Kent English Yes, I know Kent. He is a champ and picks up the phone. I doubt he is getting rich on this. | |
| Caps for crossover upgrade for Opera Grand Callas Loudspeakers That's not to say that it won't benefit from a good small-value bypass cap. | |
| Caps for crossover upgrade for Opera Grand Callas Loudspeakers In contrast to a conventional metalized polypropylene capacitor, the contribution to performance associated with the copper litz lattice embedded in the zinc end spray of CMR, increases with diameter. | |
| Is a CD Transport the Best Digital Source? @jim204 Thanks, I was unaware of Sound Forge. I also record hi-res streams in real time, but using a Tascam DA-3000. The PCM flat files are ported into Vinyl Studio, which automatically segments tracks and pulls metadata down from the net. | |
| Caps for crossover upgrade for Opera Grand Callas Loudspeakers @erik_squires The series cap to the Esotar tweeter is 5.9uf. The shunt cap to the Scanspeak 8545 mid/woofer is 17uf. IIRC, crossover is around 2000Hz. The greatest change with the .01uf Duelund bypass is heard in mids to LF. The change is rather d... | |
| Caps for crossover upgrade for Opera Grand Callas Loudspeakers Just thought I’d chime in here, as I recently installed new Duelund .01uf Pure Silver Foil bypass caps over both series and shunt caps in 2nd order crossover of well broken in ClarityCap CMR in my Merlin VSM-MXs. This is a synergistic combination ... | |
| Digital clock - any recommendations? @mzkmxcv OK, you rooted me out: Esoteric and DCS are expensive junk, and so are laboratory instruments like my Stanford Perfection 10 Rubidium clock specified +/- .05 ppb and < -150dBc/Hz@ 10kHz phase noise. None of this matters with any DAC... | |
| Is a CD Transport the Best Digital Source? @jim204 Interesting that the JCAT USB card made a major improvement for you. I have a JCAT NET Femto ethernet card on order for installation in a QNAP i5 NAS that hosts Roon core in conjunction with SOtM EN-to-USB endpoints. I'll try powering th... | |
| Digital clock - any recommendations? +3 @folkfreak With an Esoteric DAC it's easy to perceive the improvement of an external 10mhz atomic clock powered by a good LPS. Why would Esoteric market the interface were this untrue?Also, if your networked computer audio components have mas... |
