| What format are most people using, and why? I have a Lynx 2 card in my computer. I also use the Manley Slam (a professional a to d, d to a dac) when I can borrow it. For computer out I go Adobe Audition to the Empirical Off ramp turbo to the Audiomeca Enkianthus X2 ( TRL modified)Dac. | |
| What format are most people using, and why? I only use 24/96 when burning my vinyl onto the hard drive. Most of my cd's are burned at 16/44 and I don't like the effects of the up converters I have tried. | |
| What format are most people using, and why? Wave files. 24/96 wave files for all my analog recordings.Hard drive space is cheap and getting cheaper. I want my recordings preserved in the best format. | |
| Best Source for Tubes I agree with Thorman. Audiogon is a good source for tubes, just stay with the sellers that have a lot of nice feedback. You could probably find them cheaper elsewhere, but that's a good way to get a stack of old, microphonic, or just pain bad soun... | |
| Does 24/96 make a difference I actually loaded the software yesterday and have been changing back and forth. To me the 24/96 has better spacial qualities and a larger soundstage, while the 16/44 has more body to voices and instruments. The other very important thing to mentio... | |
| New David Gilmour record:any feedback? I just picked it up today. Definitely Floydish. I already think it is Gilmour's best solo yet. Now I'm bummed I missed his live tour. Seems nicely recorded. A can't miss cd. | |
| Vintage systems- anyone else? Most of my vintage gear has worked it's way downstairs to my gym. There I have a Dynaco preamp feeding 2 Dynaco mark 3 mono amps, going to an original set of Bose 901's. I use an old Mcintosh tube tuner and a Kinergetics cd 40 as my source. It sti... | |
| AUDIO RESEARCH PH5 I have about 40 hours in mine, and I still feel it is getting smoother with more hours. I have been doing a lot of tube rolling, so maybe the tubes are still breaking in. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century my response was to abill about the 12b4a's he needed | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century I have a pair, cyoyed even, brand new. Shoot me an e mail with your info and you can have them. I moved up to the Cabernet, so I don't have any need for them | |
| XM Radio - Anyone Getting It Through DirectTV? I'm so jazzed!! I just tried my Direct TV I am getting xm radio too. Now , my big question is how do I get digital out to my dac. My standard issue direct tv box has no digital out on the back. Thanks for the great post, I would never have looked ... | |
| Any GREAT "sleeper" amps? I am partial to tubes, but the old Dynaco mark 3's are really nice if you buy them after the caps and tubes have been updated. | |
| Will computer to DAC replace transports and cdp's? Hi Jeremy, Assuming we can burn the info off the cd in a bit perfect manner (many programs can),then what you have is two mediums with the same data. One is a 50 cent piece of plastic that is prone to scratches, in a poor clamped transport that lo... | |
| Will computer to DAC replace transports and cdp's? Remember computer transports aren't limited to 16/44, spin at a much higher speed than cd transports, don't loose any data (computers can't afford to loose data), don't have to have a correction circut to guess what is correct. They are like stere... | |
| Will computer to DAC replace transports and cdp's? I bought my off ramp turbo used for $750. and sold two digital cables for $700. So it wasn't too bad. It did make over 500 cd's sound MUCH better and I needed to play all the vinyl I ripped at 24/96 (my linx won't pass 24/96 out digitally). We Au... |
