| What is the range of human hearing? Rupert Neve, the famous designer of high end mixers contends that the frequency response of his equipment must be flat up to 100 kHz in order to sound completely natural. There may be something about the dynamics of real life sounds that hearing t... | |
| Monarchy 24/96 DIP I have an MSB Link III and I'm using a JVC DVD player as a transport for now. I think the DVD player is pretty poor from a jitter standpoint but the DIP improves things quite a bit. There is a more focused sound with greater depth. Small details a... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Infinity Prelude MTS. Detail, imaging, dynamics and realism all in one. | |
| Any thoughts or experiences with DH Labs cables I'm using DH Labs speaker cables and I've been very happy with them. I haven't compared them to any other reasonably high-end cables but compared to the Monster crap I was using, they are wonderful. They have an extended high end and a tightness a... | |
| wall to wall rug or linolium floor with area rug? When we removed our wall to wall carpeting in favor of having hardwood floors with an area rug, the sound quality went out the window. Fortunately, this is no longer our primary listening room. In this room, we have a classic M&K satellite/sub... | |
| Ear Candy: Most startling recordings. Lost Highway soundtrack (sounds HUGE), Delirium Kharma (layers upon layers of eastern influenced trance), Anything by Ottmar Liebert (contains elements that are almost subliminal), and Steve Vai's Ultrazone (extremely well recorded weirdness). | |
| Great sound at high volume I have some Infinity Prelude MTS speakers and in addition to excellent imaging, incredible detail and realism, they can almost make your ears bleed. Not something that I want to try very often but that's the way that Nine Inch Nails sounds best. | |
| Progressive talk It's not krautrock, more like fishnchipsrock but Ozric Tentacles puts out some of the most tripped out and creative progressive rock I've ever heard. | |
| Caribbean Music Steel drums are good too. Anything come to mind? | |
| Acoustic Guitar CD Recording/track to test Spkrs? Michael Hedges Aerial Boundaries has some of the most beautifully recorded and technically amazing playing I've heard. | |
| How to cable my DIP? I have a DIP feeding my MSB Link DAC III. I just use a cheap Radio Shack cable to connect the DVD player to the DIP and a pretty decent digital Monster Cable to connect the DIP to the DAC. I think it sounds great. As long as the good cable goes fr... | |
| Best Speaker cables on the cheap? I just made a nice discovery. I also have some cheap 6' monsters that I'll use until I can afford something better. I've been dissatisfied with the upper frequency range. Reasoning that the close proximity of the two conductors in the cable was cr... | |

| How much money do you want to waste? Admittedly, I have little experience comparing different cables but as an electrical engineer, I would have to think that if the cable offers a small enough amount of resistance to provide a good damping factor, capacitance and inductance should b... |
