| Audiophile USB to PCM Harry, you are trying to do what I do, and the PCM conversion is necessary. I'm using an Edirol UA-1D right now, which has a USB dongle on one end and a connector for coax PCM out on the other. Nothing else, no DAC. Sounds good for background musi... | |
| Can I suspend / hang speakers? Ok, has anyone done the math? I'm no physicist, but can't you figure out the force caused by the displacement of air for a single note, the force caused by the movement of the voice coil, and, based on the weight of the speaker, figure out how muc... | |
| Audiophile USB to PCM What about something as simple as the Edirol UA-1D? Its a simple USB device with a single S/PDIF coax output. I use mine off my Win XP Pro box, going into a Theta Pro Basic IIIa. Works reliably for my set up, which is playing mp3s through the home... | |
| digital cable for theta front end OK, I'll bite.Why *9* jitter filters? | |
| What's the chances of this Let me explain : Programming a pronto can be nit-picky and time consuming, but its not all *that* hard... If you want hard, try debugging a 10" airpanel using 802.11b to communicate with a remote computer running Cinemar's MainLobby, which talks to a Slink-E throu... | |
| Making a PC into a digital CD Jukebox I've used a number of USB audio devices, including the Stereolink, the M-Audio Transit, the M-Audio Sonica and the Edirol UX something-or-other that is currently hooked up. Obviously, I prefer the Edirol, which seems less buggy on my XP box and ha... | |
| What's the chances of this Let me explain : OK Spazz, you fixed your problem, that is great. But, prpixel is *still* right. You simply misdescribed the problem. You were the one who said Arcam said nothing can be done. Something can be done--they don't have to use the same codes. This shoul... | |
| What's the chances of this Let me explain : Carl-It won't work. If you want the IR control of both the Arcam and the Krell, you need to be able to generate different IR signals going into each. You can get little individual emitters to stick on each component, but the pronto is still going ... | |
| Asymmetrically? In all likelihood, not placed symmetrically around the listening axis. In other words, if you have a 20 x 30 room, don't place them on the front wall each 2' off the wall. That would be a symmetric placement... Can't speak for their theories, howe... | |
| Connect my amp out of phase? There are a number of threads on reversing polarity. There is something called Woods Effect that some hear when polarity is reversed. Many people don't hear it. Whether a component (this is not unique to pre-amps -- amps, DACs, etc can reverse pol... | |
| what are gold cd's There is no magic in the fact they are gold. Usually its intended to designated a premium CD with better mastering and transfer. MFSL, for example, used to do the half speed masters on LPs for audiophiles. They now produce gold CDs that have bette... | |
| People with Plamsa TV's....mounting A/V Components I seem to recall that Target, the UK stand manufacturer, not the retail store, makes wall mount turntable stands. Perhaps you could get a few of those. Some of the folks like Sound Anchors, I believe, will also make custom stands. | |
| Bigger is Better... I bought my plasma from plasma concepts. They were very easy to work with, but the proof is generally when things go wrong. In my case, everything went right--delivery showed up on time, everything worked, no dead pixels. They also got points in m... | |
| What do you like about your "favorite" retailer? There is a guy named Don who runs a shop called the Listening Room in Pikesville, MD outside of Baltimore. If Don carries what I'm looking for, I'll unhesitating buy it from him. The odd thing is that I often do better because of it price-wise--he... | |
| Help with integrating Internet Cable and Directtv Several of the diplexer options on the link page were, in fact, bidirectional. It would be good to check if you are going to RatShack, however... |
