| Why HDCD did not become a dominant format? In a word, proprietary. The recording studios had to lease or buy the encoder from Pacific Microsonics. Even worse, the builders of playback equipment had to use a Pacific Microsonics oversampling filter chip (PMD-100 later replaced by the PMD-200... | |
| New Tascam or old reliable Masterlink? I have the DV-RA1000, without the hard disk. I record at 96 khz 24 bit to a DVD+R. I then take the DVD+R over to my McIntosh running Diskwelder Bronze, and author myself a DVD-A, which I burn to a DVD-R blank. I can play this back on my DV-50, whi... | |
| A question I suspect reveals a lot of ignorance... KehutThe amp would only draw full rated current from the power supply if operates in Class A. All single ended amps are class A but few others are. Most operate in Class AB and draw much less current at idle than when driven. I know from experienc... | |

The zone between them is Class AB, and AB1 and AB2 are simply defined points on the spectrum. Consider amplification of a sine wave. The entire output stage on a Pure Class... | |
| What are the difference between CLASS A and PURE Depending on the design details, an amp labeled "Class A" may under some extreme circumstances move to Class AB operation. These conditions usually involve load and power demand. One way to look at it is that in a push-pull power stage the higher ... | |
| First cd purchase 1983 - A Japanese CD (Denon) called "The Four Seasons in Resonance", with Japanese liner notes. It contained 12 short pieces, one for each month, realized by a Japanese percussion ensemble. It's one of the few CDs in my collection recorded with pr... | |

| 40ft: speaker cable or interconnect? I think you're better off with a 40' interconnect, which should be balanced if possible. | |
| What is better than Bose but costs less? Bose is a marketing company. Through advertising they convince the inexperienced that theirs is the only quality product out there. Don't believe it. Read this forum, get some listening experience via local audio dealers or hifi clubs (if there's ... | |

| Is the e-mail sounds like a 'SCAM' ? The max for a postal money order is $1000. If they claim they're sending one for more than this you know you have a problem. | |
| Help I have a radio in my tweeter Sorry guys, but most of the time it's the audio gear at fault when it picks up a radio transmission, ham or otherwise. As long as the transmitter is operating legally (and most hams are sticklers for this) it's the responsibility of the audio owne... |
