| Ground Cheaters-Good or Bad? I've wondered the same thing too. And I've concluded that a cheater plug doesn't affect a good after market power cord because the power cord comes after the cheater plug. I've had to use a cheater plug to keep my McCormack DNA-2DX amp from hummin... | |
| Are audiophiles pot heads??? Based on the results of a couple of threads awhile ago re: "The best beer made anywhere", I'd guess that most of our A'phile Brothers are mostly into suds. And I suspect you could occasionally spot a few crawling out to the kitchen for another lit... | |
| What the heck is Resolution Audio I just got a 2nd email from Todd Sutherland at Madrigal Audio with an attachment of their position paper on the subject of up-sampling and over-sampling. It's 3 pages long so I won't post it here, but Madrigal says it will be on their web site wit... | |
| Upsampling DACS: Take the Pepsi Challenge Hi Carl; I certainly hope you don't think (that I think) that your opinions are irrational on this subject-- we're all doing our best to understand it and its significance. You actually understand many of the details of this complex engineering su... | |
| Upsampling DACS: Take the Pepsi Challenge I also emailed Madrigal Audio with the question of upsampling vs oversampling. I think it's fair to say that Madrigal also makes some pretty fine digital products, and I have their ML 37 transport and ML 360S DAC. Their response-- from Customer Re... | |
| Best used amp $750 range I second the McCormack DNA.5 recommendation-- excellent SS amp for the money, and if you later want even more, Steve McCormack offers three up-grade packages for his amps. It should be available for $700. to 900. Good Hunting. Craig | |
| Upsampling DACS: Take the Pepsi Challenge Hi Greysquirrel-- excellent post, and thanks. Finally an answer to the oversampling versus upsampling question from someone who really does know. And I now admit that my original perception, that the two were different, was wrong. You may be inter... | |
| Feelings on Napster? Issabre...... you sound like a guilty liberal. If you can't enjoy a good stereo system, get rid of what you have (what do you have?) and get off Audiogon; go to a good socialist's chat site and be happy. Just don't pretend to know how I feel about... | |
| Feelings on Napster? WOW.....Issabre, you tell us that "poverty is not the actual need. It is the perceived need". Would you care to go back to africa and tell all those millions of happy, starving, AIDS infected folks that are living (dying?) in war torn countries, t... | |
| Where to buy lead shot .....2.2 lbs. per kilo X 20 kilos = 44 lbs.. Luck. | |
| Bedini Clarifier II, FuruTech RD-1 etc Sam; Thanks again, I'll be giving Galen Carol a call. Craig. | |
| Dedicated power lines for audio? Hi Tk; and congratulations on your dedicated AC system. It sounds almost exactly like what I had done this spring. And I agree with all your comments about improved music quality/character. HAPPY LISTENING. Craig. | |
| Bedini Clarifier II, FuruTech RD-1 etc Hi Sam; Thanks for the thread, the review of the Bedini Clarifier II, and your conclusions. How often do you use the Clarifier? I've been hemming and Hawing about buying one myself. Good info. Thanks. Craig. | |
| Upsampling DACS: Take the Pepsi Challenge .... I should have added that over sampling is just used to increase the accuracy of reading standard 16 bit 44.1 HZ CDs, but it adds nothing to the digital output stream. Craig. | |
| Upsampling DACS: Take the Pepsi Challenge Greysquirrel; I'm no expert here, and I've had some of the same questions that you do. From reading, I've learned that upsampling and over-sampling are not the same thing. Upsampling adds dither, ie it interpolates between digital bits and then ad... |
