| Music from hard drive better than CD? Using error correction when extracting information from a CD is just an extra level of validation that you're getting a bit-accurate copy of the media. It takes longer, but worth it when you're looking for the best possible reproduction. You can t... | |
| Music from hard drive better than CD? By the way, if a studio "pro" goes on the road to mix (quite a rare occurence as live and studio mixing are quite different animals) then they mostly take a part of their ProTools rig with them on the road and capture multitrack. These people are ... | |
| Music from hard drive better than CD? At first it sounded to me like a jitter problem. Your DAC isn't correcting for it, so that's going to be the only difference between a cdp out and your mbox out, all other things equal.Now, when you say that there is a difference through the mbox ... | |
| Music from hard drive better than CD? First, you're falling for the marketing that Digidesign wants you to. True, their high-end gear is used in pro studios around the world. Does this mean that their low-end gear sounds as good? (nope) The mbox is NOT used in pro studios around the w... | |
| Music from hard drive better than CD? Nick,A few suggestions:1. Set the buffer for the MBox to the highest setting. (why don't you report all of the settings back here and we can maybe see if something else is up)2. Unsure which Wadia you're using, but what settings are available on i... | |
| Music from hard drive better than CD? Wow, quite a long thread here. Glad I wandered over from the other forums.I've been fully hard-drive based for about a year. The system is based around an Apple iBook G4-1.1Ghz with just under a terabyte of firewire hard drives holding approx. 150... | |
| My system suggestions on improving bass - Totem It took a matter of minutes to get it set up sounding great, and a few weeks to experiment with the dials and positioning to make the final tweaks.I'd expect the same from any sub (without automatic level setting controls) | |
| Has anyone heard the Totem Acoustic's Wind? For counterpoint, once my sub was set up properly I would never go back to a system without it - only a handful of speakers sound as full as what I have now, and at that point there are cost and aesthetics starting to creep into it. IMO coherency ... | |
| Linn/Naim user seeks advice on tube pre/ss amp Panderso said, "Seems to me you can only assess $24K components with reference to others in that stratosphere."Why not? This is the whole point that a lot of us are saying about Naim - you can compare it to equipment that is a lot less expensive. ... | |
| Linn/Naim user seeks advice on tube pre/ss amp I'll second what Dodgealum has to say about Audio Research replacing Naim gear. Although I still believe that Naim is better than most of what's out there, I also agree that Naim has priced itself into the stratosphere. I've never heard as much li... | |
| Has anyone heard the Totem Acoustic's Wind? If you're looking for an easy way to upgrade your Hawks, add a Totem Lightning sub. True, it won't give you any more soundstage or detail like the Wind will, but it sure does cost a lot less and gets the Hawks out of the "bookshelf" comparison are... | |
| My system suggestions on improving bass - Totem I have Totem Hawks and a Totem Lightning sub, and it's a great combination. Sure, it takes a week or two for you to get the positioning and dials worked out, but once you do have it in the sweet spot it is seamless.I've most recently upgraded my p... | |
| Linn Tables. Where to start? Please Help I used to own a mid-range LP12 but found it too finicky to set up, maintain, and (without a wall rack) too sensitive to vibration. I now own a VPI Scout and feel that it's superior to *that* LP12 in nearly every way. It's fast, musical, projects w... | |
| naim + bookshelf speaker recommendation A few years ago I was using Spendor S3/5s with a NAC 62 and NAP 90/3, which was very very close to a Nait 3. In an apartment living room of 10' x 10' it was wonderful. Moving into a house and a 20' x 25' living room with high ceilings it was (unde... | |
| Best overall Speakers for $2,500.00 or less, New? Second vote for the Totems. I have the Hawk (msrp $2500) and it's a wonderful all-around speaker. It replaced Naim SBL's and has comparable midbass and speed characteristics (arguably best in class), but has a great soundstage and imaging as well ... |
