Internet radio stations that sound really good The greatest classical channel of all is Adagio. It's best stream is 128 kbps Ogg (subscription) but the free 64 kbps AAC+ stream sounds better than most 128 kbps mp3 streams. | |
Computer speakers? As for the Audioengine 2 - I really don't like speakers that put the amplifiers for both the left and the right speakers in the same speaker.There's no question that Blue Sky has the best designed speakers - the main speakers are acoustic suspensi... | |
Computer speakers? Look at Tapco as a lower cost alternative for pro-style near field monitors. You can get them real cheap at B&H photo video and they sell some good stands there too. The only reason I haven't ordered them is that I almost always use headphones... | |
Internet radio stations that sound really good There's another one - Czezky D' Dur or something (search Icecast.org) that broadcasts in 256 kbps Ogg. | |
audiophile low pass filter Everything. | |
audiophile low pass filter It does amaze me the "audio engineers" that I have conversed with seam utterly ignorant of the following truthfrequency recorded = (frequency input) mod (sampling rate/2) | |
audiophile low pass filter I meant low pass as I stated. Jwmazur, speakers have absolutely nothing to do with this thread.Off topic aside: You can do high pass for rumble in the digital domain. After looking into this a little more closely, it appears that what I'm looking ... | |
Internet radio stations that sound really good I managed to get this thing working. The problem with setting up the bridge itself was because of a network adapter installed on my firewire port that was causing the LAN to malfunction. The problem with losing internet access was because enabling... | |
Plextor closes it's doors to CD and DVD products This panick inducing thread caused me to look for another high end brand and I found "LaCie," which appears to be even more expensive than Plextor. Anyone tried them?And does anyone know of a BD-ROM drive on the market? Not a triple burner or a bu... | |
Internet radio stations that sound really good I got around to buying that Linksys wireless music bridge and it doesn't work at all. I can't install the drivers, at least not completely, the installation hangs leaving partially functional software that disables my wireless network (I have to r... | |
Sample rate converter Where do you get one for that price? Ebay?The only retail I found with froogle was ~$700. | |
Internet radio stations that sound really good The highest bit rate at live365 is 96 kbps and everything uses the mp3pro codec, which just doesn't cut it. 96 kbps AAC+ sounds very listenable, but not mp3pro. And I can't bookmark a live365 stream in Winamp. | |
Audiophile grade analog to digital converter Another thing that's good to know: DVD lab pro is reputable shareware that can produce audio only DVD-video, and it only cost $245. The only commercial software that can do that is Sonic Scenarist which costs $5000. | |
Audiophile grade analog to digital converter Lynx = excellent. But there's a hitch. CEDAR now offers a set of software tools, which at $4000 (seams to be the price) are a bargain for CEDAR. If you're going to use digital noise filtering, use CEDAR or not at all. The CEDAR tools only work wit... | |
Volume normalization between phono preamp and A/DC The resolution on the Hagtech ripper is too low. |
