| PC audio newbie looking for advice JRemote started as a third party app that ran on Apple phones and tablets. It requires J River be installed on the main computer. It is just a remote interface and player for the hand held devices. The developer of JRemote now works for JRIver and... | |
| PC audio newbie looking for advice I am in the processing of digitizing my vinyl. It is a time consuming but rewarding process. The adc is a critical part of the process. When I started the process, in order to test the process I used the adc in my PC. It did the job, but the sound... | |
| Totem Hawk or Model 1? If you get a chance, listen to the new element series. They really are good. The new Kin Mini, coupled with the Kin Sub, is a great entry level small speaker. The Ember and Fire are also very nice monitors. This is a non-paid advertisement from a ... | |
| Tube amplifier to power Sonus Faber speakers? Historical there have been a lot of people who like to match McIntosh with SF speakers. I am not a McIntosh guy, so cannot recommend anything specific. Personally, I would lean towards Conrad Johnson or maybe the big Cary amps with the Olympica. I... | |
| Hum from VPI Scout Stock Motor Thanks Stereo5. My mistake. The upgrade is to the 300 rpm motor. I find the upgrade motor quieter and the speed steadier. The pulley is also larger, which, at least for me, made the belt stayed in place better. If I were going to replace anything,... | |
| Hum from VPI Scout Stock Motor You can upgrade to the 600 RPM motor for $150. It is a good upgrade for not much money and will improve the sound. You can get one from Music Direct. Just make sure you have the right one for your turntable size. I use one on the old acrylic platt... | |
| Is it really useless Upscaling 16/44.1 music to 24 Dithering is a process that allows for masking of the quantization or 'rounding' errors when going from a higher bit depth to a lower one. It is typically used when going from a higher bit depth to a lower one, but is not usually used when going t... | |
| Is it really useless Upscaling 16/44.1 music to 24 Upsampling is not just adding a bunch of zeros. Going from 16 bit to 24 bit (at the same sample rate) is just adding a bunch of zeros. However going from 44 KHz to 176 KHz adds data points that are calculated from the existing points. The interpol... | |
| Totem Arro vs Totem Sttaf. Which one image better? I do not find that either Sttaf or Arro need a huge current amp. In fact, the Sttaf is an 8 ohm speaker designed to be easy to drive. I would not use a mass market receiver, but integrateds from the likes of NAIM and Creek drive them very well. I ... | |
| Asynchronous USB DAC and USB cable quality Sorry I was a bit harsh. I am constantly surprised how many people never try to bring their treads to closure. You at least did, although in a different thread. I found the discussion helpful, so thank you for that. Good luck with the never ending... | |
| Asynchronous USB DAC and USB cable quality Hate to say, but a completely different thread in a different forum is not very good follow-up. I would never have linked the two topics. A comment with a link would have been nice. People gave you advise and never heard back and probably never fo... | |

| Ripping CD's - Bypassing Computer CD Player Loss of precision is often a a result of floating point calculations. That is why I mentioned it. The calculations used to compress and decompress files is entirely an integer process. The program may make mistakes, but given you can convert to wa... |
