| Question for recording artist/engineers That's not correct Piedpiper. 88.2k is not just halved to 44.1k. Conversions from 96k and from 88.2k to 44.1k both need a low pass filter and rate conversion algorithm. Also the conversion from 96k to 44.1k involves no losses relative to 88.2k to ... | |
| Review: Interlink House Stealth M-21 Interconnect Cables Interconnect Chenpones, do you have a current website for Stealth Cables? I've found in the past that almost every webname related to Interlink House had been confiscated by Audio Magic, whose 'Stealth' products are unrelated to Interlink House. I find now tha... | |
| Open-Minded or Gullible? I've never been able to understand people with good audio systems and presumably good ears who have NOT heard cables going through break-in. Every cable I've had, especially power cords, goes through an almost predictable sequence of initially bei... | |
| Medieval-style music If you're interested in 12th century French polyphony in addition to secular music, another well-known cd from Harmonia Mundi is "The Age of Cathedrals", with Paul Hillier and the Theatre of voices. | |
| Medieval-style music Along with Slipknot1, I would recommend the whole Gothic Voices series on Hyperion, as they specialize in the period you're looking for. I particularly like "The Earliest Songbook in England", but there are about 10 of interest, all with reasonabl... | |
| Review: Spectral DMC-30SL You would be missing the ~ 8 dB better SNR of the dmc30 series over the dmc20's. I haven't taken a dmc30sl apart to analyze the power system but the manual states that the internal transformer is designed with a wider than normal separation betwee... | |
| Pwr cable suggestions Corona, it does not matter that there are other, and perhaps perfectly legitimate, reasons for recommending a situation. Honesty about the dealer/manufacturer relationship is still required for these forums when the situation involves sales. Audio... | |
| Pwr cable suggestions South43, just be aware that Corona is a power cord manufacturer and Audiolon is his dealer. That doesn't disqualify the cable from consideration, but Corona has failed to mention his commercial perspective in his 'recommendation'. | |
| Experience using Spectral without MIT or preamp Spectral requires the use of MIT cables on both input and output of most of their amps. On the input side because of the zobel filter requirement, and on the output side because, by design, an inductor termination is provided by the networked spea... | |
| bay area scout dealers Also check Elliot Kallen at the Tweak Shop in Santa Rosa. | |
| Anyone using NITES on their CD player?? But Jayctoy, the review makes the point that the Soundstrings are very colored, while the Kimbers are neutral. This is not better/worse; it is different and potentially problematic depending on your system. | |
| Besides Spectral, what else do I try........ Why not Spectral? | |
| Audiophile Vs. Techfile "Music lover" has nothing to do with "audiophile". Music lovers include the great majority who attend concerts, may be musicians, listen to 'their' music, and may even be Joe Sixpack listening to mp3's. Music lovers don't necessarily put great val... | |
| Audiophile Vs. Techfile Slappy, as a techfile, you are just an audiophile in the early stages of development :-)Besides enjoying technology, the aspect that gets into the blood of engineering types working or hobbying in this area is being fascinated by the relationship ... | |
| AV Racks. What difference does it make? To add to the list of vibration effects including the ones I mentioned above, vibration produces microphonics in susceptible devices (wires, tubes) and also produces chassis ring if the chassis is flimsy. These effects manage to superimpose on the... |
