| Do enzymes only live for 8 hours Well, I'm not a biochemist but I do have a minor in biochemistry. Yes, enzymes DO break down over time. This process is accelerated by increasing temperature. Almost all enzymes are proteins and anything that destroys proteins will destroy enzymes... | |
| Audio Dropping Out on Rega Apollo and Saturn In addition, this is straight out of their Apollo manual on their website.To the best of our understanding, there have only ever been five large multinational companies with the technology and knowledge base to develop the remarkably complex opera... | |
| Audio Dropping Out on Rega Apollo and Saturn Fillmore, yes that's what I have experienced but I don't remember having a problem with normal CDs. I only have one hybrid SACD at this point but it seems fine as well. Not being able to see the code that went into the operating system, it's impos... | |
| Audio Dropping Out on Rega Apollo and Saturn Doug,I suppose you could say that. It also helps when you see others are having the same issues. As I said, my recollection is that it happens with CD-Rs and it's easy to believe that the problem lies with the discs and not my $1,000 CD player. Ad... | |
| Audio Dropping Out on Rega Apollo and Saturn Hmmm, glad checked back in on this thread. I had let it slip from my mind (all too easy these days). I have not experienced most of the problems noted above but I do tend to mostly listen to entire discs. I have not yet had a disc that refused to ... | |
| Audio Dropping Out on Rega Apollo and Saturn I have the Apollo and don't have this problem. However, I treat my Cds more like LPs and they don't have any scratches to speak of.Rega makes a big deal of the fact that the Apollo and Saturn analyze the CD before playing and optimize the player f... | |
| FM Tuner Recommendation I think Hgeifman meant http://fmtunerinfo.com/ for his second link. | |
| DIY CD Compression? Ken,Yes, it can take a significant amount of time. On the other hand, if there ARE any of the ripping tools that do this automatically, they're going to have to go through the same process and will probably be slow too.Regarding you're earlier que... | |
| DIY CD Compression? Audacity will do this and a whole lot more (and it's free). You can get it here:http://audacity.sourceforge.net/There may be other ripping programs that make the process easier but if you do any manipulation of audio files, you need this program o... | |
| What could be wrong? Reverse the cables from the turntable to the preamp. If the volume reduction moves to the right channel, it's not the preamp.Dick | |
| background vocalist moves from left to right I have noticed this was other discs as well, I recall Kate Bush Aeriel, one track has footsteps from the far edge of the speaker which progress across the entire stage to the other side. the steps begin from the left on one system and the rigth on... | |
| Buying Someone's Records: An Ethics Question If your going to keep and listen to them then I think $5 is a good price given that you don't even know the condition of the LPs. If you're planning on selling the rare stuff and your conscience is bothering you, cut him in for a percentage of the... | |
| will the day come when? I won't hazard a guess as to when CDs will completely disappear (probably never) but I do expect them to give way to electronic distribution. We're almost ready to see movies distributed this way but network bandwidth is restricting that market ri... | |
| BACH Cello Suites - CD only I have the RCA/Starker version. I like RC's comment about the playing being vibrant. I would also add - achingly beautiful. No lack of emotion at all. I have not heard the SACD version but I have NO problems with the sound quality of the RCA. I do... | |
| CD player wanted $500-$1000 The total height of the Apollo when open is just under 7.5 inches (the lid sort of slides back as it opens). I have mine on a 9 inch shelf and have no trouble getting CDs in and out.Dick |
