| Tascam DA-3000 vs Benchmark ADC1 USB DTC:If VS can remove tics or pops "individually" without processing the entire track, that would be amazing. I have some early first pressings that have the one depressing loud tick or pop that ruins the whole track. Being able to remove that with... | |
| Tascam DA-3000 JWM:Let us know what you find out, particularly if you spring for an Ayre. | |
| Tascam DA-3000 Al:You do have a point, assuming that potential RF entering the Benchmark is somehow filtered differently so that it never gets into the digital bit stream.I did notice my 60 Hz hum levels were lower when using the Benchmark. Same gain setting on ... | |
| B&W 803D crossover caps Ptss:I can see the potential benefit to moving the XOs outside the box. My early JBL L212 had the crossovers outside of the enclosed driver housings.Vibration from the drivers will definitely influence the inductors and capacitors in the network, ... | |
| Tascam DA-3000 vs Benchmark ADC1 USB Peter S:Regarding sound quality, I have always been partial to discrete component Class A circuitry. So I am partial to the Ayre.But I could not find a used one for a reasonable price and $4K was a bit rich for my blood. Honestly, I originally tho... | |
| Tascam DA-3000 vs Benchmark ADC1 USB JWM:The Benchmark cannot stream USB to the Tascam, as the Tascam has no USB data INPUT. The USB inputs on the Tascam are for storage media only, and you cannot record to a USB drive, only play back from it (or transfer files to it).To connect the ... | |
| Tascam DA-3000 vs Benchmark ADC1 USB DTC:I am only using dB Poweramp which has limited file processing capabilities. Thanks for the suggestion for Vinyl Studio, as I would like software to "crop" lead in and lead out noise and song transitions. I would stay away from those pop and ti... | |
| Tascam DA-3000 Al:I do have oscilliscopes and RF spectrum analyzers and I can assure you there is no RF leaving my Spectral preamp. The Spectral also has a special protection monitoring circuit that is designed to pick up RF leaving the amp. That circuit is not ... | |
| Tascam DA-3000 vs Benchmark ADC1 USB Peter:My issue with the Tascam was the quality of the analog front end. By cutting that out by using the Benchmark, the recordings have improved significantly. Plus, the original recordings were made with the digital conversion in the Tascam, so t... | |
| B&W 803D crossover caps Dover:In a word, no. I had only planned to replace a few caps, not rebuild the entire cross over. I don't think that a rebuild is sonically warranted at this point.I am hesitant to replace 100W rated components with 20W versions, no matter what th... | |
| Soliciting Upgrade Advice Gdhal:Since you are a JBL guy I'll contribute to your quandary as I myself was a JBL user for many years.In the late 70's I purchased some L212s, and modded them by time aligning the drivers. While not the most "timbre" accurate they imaged like c... | |
| Parasound Halo A23 paired with Peachtree Nova 125 Arafiq:Don't listen to zd. I have all Parasound amplification and B&W speakers (803d) and they are not "bright" or unlistenable. They are, however, very revealing of distortion in program material or electronics feeding them.To get back to you... | |
| B&W 803D crossover caps Dover:I would like to maintain the stock look if at all possible. Relocating the XO to the outside, well, you might just as well build the XOs from scratch then. No for me at this time. I agree that relocating them outside the cabinet would remove... | |
| No cartridge is good enough. Inna:But we are.Remember what the purpose of the LP was in the first place. The distribution of music to the masses. That job, whether audiophiles like it or not, has passed to the digital domain. No one is talking about going back to LPs for mass... | |
| Mark Levinson ML3 bias voltage? Minorl;One quick thing I thought of after my last post. When I was adjusting bias for the JC1s, I measured the total power dissipation with those digital power meters you can get at the hardware store. You plug your appliance into these and they m... |
