| What 4 or 5 sacds should I have? Warrenh...AIX is a recording label, with audiophile objectives. Of course you know what a DVDA is. You could play these discs in two channel, but their exceptional qualities will not be evident in that mode. | |
| What 4 or 5 sacds should I have? Sounds like you are set up for multichannel, and video. If so, latch on to an AIX DVDA. Sound quality is every bit as good as SACD, but the extra features, which SACD can't offer, are amazing. | |
| Crown commercial amps for home use? Matrix...The amp includes overtemperature protection, so fan failure would not be a disaster. By the way, at least for the digital CarverPro ZR1600, it's said that for home audio use, where you aren't pulling 600 watts/channel all the time, the fa... | |
| Crown commercial amps for home use? I also must comment on how good a qsc amp sounds. I bought one to drive subwoofers, but, out of curiosity, tried it full range. What a surprise! Come to think about it, why should a prosound amp sound inferior? The same circuits and electronics co... | |
| Mozart Trios - Recommendations I don't know if you can do DVDA, but if so get any of the Tacet Mozart discs. Problem is, I don't see them for sale anymore on this side of the pond. | |
| Playing with the idea of solid state amps Since you are willing to tolerate transistors, why not go all the way and try a digital amp? | |
| Behringer DEQ2496 - worth using in hi-end system? Smeyers...The A/D and subsequent D/A can be switched in and out using the BYPASS switch. With the EQ set flat, I hear no difference. | |
| What constitutes an AUDIOPHILE recording In the case of vinyl there are a number of things which are usually done in the production of regular LPs (that must play on non-audiophile equipment) which can be omitted for "audiophile" recordings.Groove spacing can be wider so as to minimize "... | |
| Behringer DEQ2496 - worth using in hi-end system? I have two of them, for front left and right and surround. They do a better job than the parametric I have on the center front. I am suggesting to people that they buy one thinking only of using it only as a spectrum analyser. (That way you don't ... | |
| The effect of the Expanding Universe on turntables Does this mean that audio equipment should have a "best if used by" label? | |
| ELP laser turntable - any comments? Tbg...That's what I would expect based on my experience with the Halcyonics. Enjoy! | |
| battling the pops and clicks Lugnut...Perhaps you didn't notice or have forgotten that about a year ago, encouraged by postings by you and some others, I made a very deliberate reevaluation of today's vinyl playback equipment. I did this by visiting the high end emporium that... | |
| battling the pops and clicks Lugnut...Pop and Click eliminators are no longer marketed for the simple reason that those who are annoyed by surface noise, have switched to digital media. Also, they don't work all that well, except for really bad discs, and I quit using mine lo... | |
| battling the pops and clicks Larkyparka...Without getting into the arguement about whether vinyl surface noise exists, I must correct your statement that before CDs came along no one was bothered by surface noise. Most preamps had "scrach" filters, and many outboard electroni... | |
| Why Linear Tracking never took off? Willster...Your PS X800 is obviously broken. This happens to the best of equipment after 25 years. How it sounds probably has more to do with the pickup used. Most of the time mine was used with a Shure V15MR, and that particular pickup never soun... |
