| Why do digital coax cables matter? There are differences to me. In a word, it may come down to jitter. Some cable designs adversly influence jitter more than others and all the physical elements of the cable design are in play. There are at least 3 kinds of jitter induction: optica... | |
| Where to start upgrade One of the most important "matches" in audio is the amp/speaker combo. When this match is properly acheived the system sounds like it is something more than just the sum of its parts and, if you ask me, that's where a lot of the magic is. I just w... | |
| Great Music to Intro Non-Audiophiles to the Hobby If you're just looking for something they might like to choose from (although you don't mention about how old they are) I can think of a slew of recordings on CD mostly from the 70's ('cause I'm an old fogey). Goodbye Yellow Brick Road (Deluxe Edi... | |
| I have a Theta Miles CD player and need a ramote.. Hi Zeal, the brand I would recommend is called "universal remote control" and they make the RF-10, RF-20 and RF-30 remotes. You can go to their site and scope out their owner manuals and you will see that they all do indeed contain Theta pesets. T... | |
| CEC TL5100Z -- repair or replace? Probably would be wise to spend some time at least investigating repair, CEC's have a good reputation as transports with sound their quality. Dunno for sure, but my go-to guy, Wayne, at In-House Service Co. will likely be able to fix it provided h... | |
| Question for Behringer DEQ2496 users Don't feel all exclusive over it, I fall for that stuff all the time. | |
| Question for Behringer DEQ2496 users Hi Jonathon, you can use it as a DAC (as I do), although its use as a pre is limited because of loosing digital bits. I use a DEQ that was modified by Ric Schultz (EVS) in Calif. The outs are balanced and fed into a pair of Goldpoint series attenu... | |
| DAC /pre Advise NEEDED urgently My vote would be for the DacMagic Plus, as well...possibly a better sounding volume control solution than the ($250) tube pre. | |
| break-in--bane or boon ?? That would have to be my fault sooner than yours, Mapman. :) | |
| Taming edge from remastered CDs? Audioengr, thanks for tip on the Mac Mini, I've been stumped so far as to the Onkyo's replacement. Don't want to hijack the thread, but, which Mini would be best? (Somewhat unfamiliar with the computer end of things). | |
| Taming edge from remastered CDs? Audioengr wrote: "You have just never heard a low jitter system, and if you did, there was probabl an active preamp in the way creating so much distortion and compression that you did not hear the benefits of low jitter". FWIW, I use an Oknyo DX-C... | |
| Taming edge from remastered CDs? Kijanki, I agee with you, there are really 2 different problems like you say, and to a degree I've done both in my rig, but the conditioning had a bigger impact on it and was a bigger bang for the buck. Apologies all around if I got carried away w... | |
| Taming edge from remastered CDs? Audioengr, I do understand what you're saying and you're perfectly right, there are many contributing (purely) digital factors that help with this problem, but I suppose what I'm getting at above is really that many people who've spent a considera... |
