Goodbye Everyone

Goodbye Everyone
  noromance I joined DPR July 2012, awaiting the announced Sony rx100m1 camera, 1" sensor in a new miniaturized body. Revolutionary at that time. I got two of the original Made In Japan batch. yap, yap, yap, I just checked, I currently have18,5... 
Goodbye Everyone
everyone, I started this when I was depressed that the DPReview camera site was going to shut down. Someone did something, it never closed. It did change from that goodbye/oh never mind period: less fun, more matter of fact, a few left and never... 
Goodbye Everyone
antigrunge2 I was just in need of a booster shot, I'm sticking around.   cbrez thanks, one thing is that you can speed read my posts, they are like a broken record, same answers, I should create a word document that I can cut and paste from. ... 
SACD is VERY confusing
When SACD prices became reasonable, Content I already had in CD, I bought same content in hybrid SACD/CD to hear the difference. Even if DSD is converted to PCM at the last stage, the 'up front' DSD advantages/differences are there. My conclusion... 
Floating ground in the apt. Building
Can ground wire be a smaller gauge? The neutral wire should be the same size as the hot wire - but the ground wire can be smaller. Normally, the ground wire carries zero current. In the event of a short (the only reason for a ground wire), it onl... 
Amp first approach to build a system. Anyone did it ?
It would be best if you tell us the specific model number of the amp you will keep and use, then it is more a question of avoiding a poor speaker choice. I had a pair of vintage tube mono blocks 30wpc, 4,8,16 ohm taps, big transformers. They were... 
Can a tube amp be damaged by a speaker switch?
as budjoe mentioned, and why he asked for your system specifics: Front Pre-outs is a definite solution, some receivers have pre-outs, but not Front Pre-Outs, some do, it’s an important feature. IF Front Pre-Outs: you would be using your Marantz ... 
Goodbye Everyone
roxy54; mulveling;  jimintally; mahler123 thanks for booster shot #2, it really brings me back to life when sick of it.  
Goodbye Everyone
mahler123 I agree, take no heed of the advice, just get what you had your eye on. Oh well. Once, I think my SUT, after a short number of responses, I told everyone, "I just couldn't wait, bought it". But that was after members had taught me a gr...

SACD is VERY confusing
OP, others When seeking a ’new to me’ SACD/CD Player, I found out about this DSD to PCM issue. I started a similar discussion, some people mentioned specific models that output DSD there. It was mentioned somewhere, that using DSD in the product... 
WOOD SURROUND for Audio Technica AT120; Technics 1200 and Technics 1210
