| FLAC vs WAV Something interesting (to me anyway) I have discovered. As reported by Windows Properties size (not size on disk), a WAV encoded to Flac (compression level 6 but realistically any) and then back to WAV from that FLAC is not identical. For example,... | |
| recommendations on a good used cd player for under $750 I agree with jakeman on the Emotiva ERC-3. I have one and nothing will beat it in the price range we're talking about. | |
| Speaker recommendations hbdelrio1, you should have a look at (i.e. at least consider) the GoldenEar Technology line. Something like a Triton 3+ I believe would fit in your price range. | |
| Concert Experience for $5k? almarg, thank you for the detailed and informative response. Yes, I suppose it does clarify as opposed to confuse the issue. Also appreciate the wikipedia article supporting what you have stated. | |
| Concert Experience for $5k? almarg, curious about a response of yours. You indicate that in the case of the GET Triton One's the amp wouldn't be a good match because (paraphrasing) the higher amp output impedance and the speaker’s variation of impedance would be an under-emp... | |
| Seeking to soundproof front door to my apartment In addition to whatever you decide, end up doing, etc. with the front door, if you are confident this is where most of the unwanted noise (or desirable music!) is entering/exiting you might want to consider a barrier in front of the door. Somewher... | |
| Polk LSIM707 for 2k? Just curious, if you're into Polk (nothing wrong there), why not check out the GoldenEar line or products? | |
| $16K new/used speaker question? GoldenEar Triton 1. You can get a new pair for $5K and save some money too. | |
| Ripping files and backups do not match? To further what Al has stated, you want to ensure that you are looking at the properties "size", not "size on disk". Size should be identical while size on disk can vary. | |
| If money was and was not of any concern when buying speakers. If money no object... not sure, but I've heard Alta Statement Towers at $200,000/pair.If money an object, no question, GoldenEar Triton One. | |
| CD player or CD transport ?? Emotiva ERC-3 stand-alone CD player. Incredible value ($500 or $400 if on sale). Only does redbook CDs, but that's what you want. Any integrated/universal CD player is a compromise somewhere (IMO). For SACD, stay with your Oppo. Not sure what upgr... | |
| Has anyone heard the new North American products preamp and amp? tbg OP5,165 posts02-29-2016 2:19pmgdhal, why would you say this? It is true that there are many who haven't heard it but many other than me have. None have had anything bad to say about it. Does that bother you as it does someone else on this th... | |
