What's your favorite audio codec?
WAV is the biggest, no compression, but you lose the metadata in iTunes. Osgorth-what I mean when I say a little compression as possible is would prefer none at all. 
What's your favorite audio codec?
I have, and I have used them extensively and listened. I want as little compression as possible, and Monkey Audio sucks.

Apple Lossless...A 1:1 file. 
High End Integrated Choices
the 805s comes alive on tubes without a shadow of a doubt. Nice choice. 
Speakers to hang on to for LIFE
I agree with an earlier response...The 805s is a special speaker in the line, and definately a monitor to hold on to. Good with lots of equipment, magic with tubes. A sleeper in the B&W line. 
Krell Service
I find it comical that you pay top dollar for Krell, and when you call you get snobby attitude (Jim Ludivichino) and slow service. Probably trickles down from the owner DD who is not quite the nicest guy in town...Paaaaaaaalease. To pay Krell pric... 
Feedback on new Ayre MX-R Monoblocks
Take the Shindo out of the mix and then listen to the Ayre if you want to hear it's true character. Guaranteed the presentation will be completely different. Whether it is good or bad depends on your ear and what they put in place of the Shindo Pr... 
Cables for B&W 805S
The 805s is a very nice speaker, and often doesn't get the respect it deserves. I auditioned it next to the 804s and liked it considerably better. Much smoother and easier to listen to. Simpler crossover will beat out lots of drivers any day when ... 
Tube Amp Hum
Thanks Phd, its a tubed Pre. A 2.5 soon to be a 5.5 in about 2 weeks. The line the audio system is on is dedicated to it, not cable tv on the same line at all. Cable TV near it, but no connected in any way whatsoever. The cables I have are shielde... 
Tube Amp Hum
I have tried cheater plugs, different circuits, moving the amp to a slightly different location, reversing the input tubes and the hum is still there. 
What is the Wavelength Audio house sound?
Wavelength house sound- Musical, sweet, tonally perfect. Could even be described as delicate in some ways. Although the bass with Cosecant is excellent. I have owned two pieces from Wavelnegth and both are very nice and easy to listen to, and quit...

Tube Amp Hum
Heres a theory...I have Herbies Audio Lab isolation feet, which have a good reputation and I am pleased with them. But...Is is possible that because they are squishy material, the transformer hum noise is being trapped inside the amp and coming th... 
Tube Amp Hum
My refrigerator? Definately not....The system is on a completely dedicated circuit, there is no cable system on this circuit whatsoever. It is not a ground loop. Newbee, I will try the tube reversal as you mentioned. Sounds like an idea. 
Tube Amp Hum
Correction now that both my wife and I listened for it. It seems louder out of the left channel than the right, and....It is faintly audible from the listening area, not just at the speaker. I gotta tell ya, if there is way to resolve this noise I...
