| Melody Gardot, Live in Europe You know you really shouldn't restrict yourselves to the old audio fool chestnuts like Krall, Gardot, Peyroux and Barber -- there's a whole wide world out there!Try (going off memory without my collection in front of me)Karin AllysonChampian Fulto... | |
| Is it possible to have vinyl nearly noise free? Another source of "noise" in LP playback is of course groove echo resulting from the pressing of the LP itself. What's so insidious about this is that it's worst in the quietest passages -- because here the mastering engineer probably thought they... | |
| Anyone Having Problem With Cardas Clear Beyond XL Power Cables Falling Out Of Equipment This type of problem is endemic to many overbuilt Power Cords -- only reliable solution I know (beyond shimming them up) is the Furutech NCF cradles -- but kind of big $$ just as supports -- although used carefully the NCFs can improve the sound (... | |
| Super tweeters, are they worthwile? I used to own the EnigmAcoustics Sopranino super-tweeter and liked what it did to my Magico Q3s. It’s not a good fit with my current M3s which are much more linear up to 40kHz and integrate better with the room. The issue with the Sopranino was in... | |
| DCS Rossini dac owners Perhaps your dCS dealer will loan you a network bridge? This could be the ideal interface for your streamer. | |
| DCS Rossini dac owners I would also recommend not using USB if you have an alternative 😏 - and then you’d discover what the clock can do! But maybe I’m just an old fashioned guy, strictly CDs and SACDs for me, no ripping or streaming 🙈 | |
| Music in the 40-80 Hz range The answer is almost everything will be grounded in this range. Pretty much anything with the double bass will cover this. Try a good jazz double bass and vocals track to test how well you are getting integrationhttps://www.studybass.com/gear/bas... | |
| DCS Rossini dac owners What type of digital input are you using? All of my experience is with AES/EBU or FireWire in the context of playing discs. I suspect if you are using USB to a Rossini DAC you may not experience the same effect. | |
| Vinyl vs high def audio i.e. 24bit / 96 or 192khz @angelz if you are looking for good Celtic music in LP you need to go back to the 60s, 70s and 80s. Labels like Tara, Fontana, Dara, would be good places to look. | |
| DCS Rossini dac owners Although not a Rossini owner I’ve had clocks in both my older Paganini and current Vivaldi systems. The effect of the clock should be to add clarity and greater soundstage resolution to the system. It should not affect tonality so if you were look... | |
| Perfect Path Tecnologies ‘The Gate’ @millercarbon I’m actually an EE by training so somewhat aware of how this stuff works. Its actually not scaremongering (I’m sure that given how this is connected it’s not going to cause issues, but do worry that the "home made" appearance is more... | |
| Synergistic Research Black Box - @shkong78 it's simply a sympathetic resonance device tuned to bass frequencies -- the ART bass stations are one single small cup and I presume the BB contains many such cups tuned to different frequenciesAs @sgordon1 notes the BB is sensitive to m... | |
| Perfect Path Tecnologies ‘The Gate’ @oregonpapa the language you are looking for relating to your consumer electronics is this https://standardscatalog.ul.com/standards/en/standard_60065_7Even the ARC manuals I looked at contain language that to all intents and purposes complies wit... | |
| Perfect Path Tecnologies ‘The Gate’ @oregonpapa I think the point we were trying to make (obviously over your head) is that there is a difference between consumer items intended to be plugged in by the consumer and an item for professional installation in an electrical panel. For ex... | |
| Perfect Path Tecnologies ‘The Gate’ @yoby I have experience with the Total Contact enhancer. My experience was mixed. I found it highly beneficial in the speaker leads to my super tweeter (which I no longer have), neutral to slightly positive on RCA and XLR level interconnect (where... |
