| could someone recommend some good acoustic music This is a bit of a leap as I heard this for the first time last night, but check out Brian Bromberg's "Wood". Bromberg is outstanding in these solo, duo and trio jazz arrangements of upright bass backed by piano and drums. The recording quality on... | |
| Anyone ever have claims for damage with UPS? Another caution with peanuts is they often generate a lot of static electricity. If using them for packing electronics an anti-static bag around the component is a must. | |
| budget amplification - what to get? Sorry to hear about your illness, Roc_doc, but you're in good company here! To help us help you what actual dollar amount can you spend? As comes out in discussions from time to time, one man's "low cost" is another man's fortune. | |
| HELP: I need a solid state amp with a tube sound Swampwalker, I read that last comment on Xmas eve while taking a respite between making batches of hand made chocolate chip cookies for friends. Wish I knew where to send yours because that one comment says a mouthful! Thanks for putting it so wel... | |
| HDCD CD's Jeff, my understanding is there are less than 200 releases to date on XRCD and XRCD2. The XRCD Web site probably has them all. BTW, my digging around uncovered that JVC relaunched the technology with XRCD 24 in November of 2002. XRCD 24 "directly ... | |
| The Blues : A Primer This has come around before, was funnier the first time, but was worth a few chuckles again.Ozfly, you are TWISTED, man! Oh, and yes it could happen... | |
| HDCD CD's Check out http://www.hdcd.com for a list of the available titles on HDCD.Another excellent format is XRCD which takes no special equipment for playback since it is accomplished via a mastering and optimization process. Their catalog is available a... | |
| Room Acoustic Software It sounds as if you expect to input a signal into CARA and that isn't how it's used. Instead, a room is modeled in the CARA CAD portion of the application, including walls, speaker and listening positions, plus special reflective surfaces like car... | |
| Room Acoustic Software There's not much to add to Rives comments, so this is mainly to register my satisfaction with the product, its features and overall performance.As for the power necessary to run it, my computer is an AMD Athlon 850 with 384 megs of RAM. Most compu... | |
| system upgrade suggestions pwaynes, Lots of good suggestions above. Couldn't help but notice you said "everything is plugged into a power wedge 116". I also have a Rev. B DNA-1 and plugging it into a PLC limits what the amp can do. Same goes for the stock power cord.Try plu... | |
| ceiling model material for Cara? There could be a couple of things going on. First, just from looking at the description in CARA my guess is "Acoustic Board" is not the right material surface for modeling a drop ceiling, though not too far off. To get it just right you might have... | |
| SPL meter recommendation At the risk of starting another analog vs. digital battle, does the RS digital SPL meter suffer from the same inaccuracies as the analog version? Any reasons to buy the analog instead of the digital version? | |
| Merlin VMS versus VMPS RM-40 versus Proac 3.8 FWIW, there is serious listening and just plain listening. For example, my office is adjacent to the sound room, so the stereo is on almost all the time. While I love, even lust for, ribbons and planar speakers their limited sweet spot makes them ... | |
| Filling speaker cavities with cat litter Rather than "playground" sand look for an industrial grade variety. I went with a Mesh 30 grade which was essentially the same price as the playground stuff. The difference is it's been screened to remove the larger pieces (a.k.a. pebbles), so is ... | |
| Positioning Vandersteens Pmotz, for acoustic modeling software that works in odd shaped rooms take a look at CARA CAD. My room is L-shaped, has a cathedral ceiling w/beam, irregular end wall heights, etc. and CARA modeled it just fine. The results match fairly closely tho... |
