| 12" 45 RPM records: What's the story? Tbg...You are correct about disturbance of the subsequent groove. Even if the recording media were upset by the cutter it would be "overwritten" when the cutter came by.As for CDs with pre-echo, name one. | |
| Crown amps Tony3d...Carver Professional has no relation to Bob Carver, and his designs in the past. The ZR1600 also has muting at turn on and off. See my posting of 12/08 for input sensitivity, fan noise issue, and other considerations. | |
| Crown amps Tony....I did a bit of research on the Crown Xti amps, and the findings are interesting.It performs A/D conversion at the input, and then rather extensive digital signal processing (DSP). Included is a crossover, a four band equalizer, subharmonic... | |
| Question about dac / sacd There is an outfit over in Switzerland that modifies Denon players so as to output multichannel digital signals that you can plug into outboard DACs and/or into devices like the Behringer DEQ2496 equalizer which accepts digital input. Apparently S... | |
| Crown amps Ellery911...My apology if I seemed to lecture you. I am sure that you have more experience than I with Crown products, but I do suspect that Crown digital amps will have a different character from what they made before. And I think that my suggest... | |
| Crown amps Ellery911...And I am not disagreeing with what you say about traditional pro audio power amps. I just suggest that you keep an open mind, particularly with respect to digital amps. Do you think that designers of pro sound amps want them to sound b... | |
| Crown amps Ellery911...Your view of pro sound power amps may be a bit out of date...at least for some of them. Digital has changed things, and a digital pro sound amp sounds about like a digital audiophile amp, some of which are well regarded. In my case I h... | |
| Crown amps Undertow mentions a couple of points about pro sound power amps. With regard to the ZR1600....sensitivity is no problem. A jumper plug lets you select any of four sensitivities, 0.316, 0.775, 1.23 and 2.45 vrms. The 0.316 value is for consumer sin... | |
| Dynaco? Circuits and audio quality are good. The quality of switches and pots is less than ideal. No pretty cosmetics. | |
| Crown amps Try a Carver Professional ZR1600. At least look up details and reviews about it. It is a digital stereo amp, good for 600 wpc at 4 ohms. Sounds great, especially with Magneplanar speakers (which like lots of power). It caused a buzz in audiophile ... | |
| What current China import sounds like a CJ?? Nrchy...Lighten up!! | |
| What current China import sounds like a CJ?? Quality control in the global economy is vital to success, and ISO certification is the way to assure it. When I was working for General Dynamics we went through several stages of ISO certification, and at the time we thought it was a bit of a jok... | |
| What current China import sounds like a CJ?? Nrchy...YOU never change. Doesn't take much to set you off! Gotcha :-) | |
| SACD and an audiophile question I think that some DVDA disallow the stereo downmix. These may be the ones with a stereo track. (I am just guessing because my system is multichannel). | |
| What current China import sounds like a CJ?? Nrchy...Knobs and switch locations have little to do with audio quality. If pretty knobs and switches are your reason to buy, you deserve what you get. |
