| Help on Optimizing Dedicated PC as Music Server All things mentioned so far improve sound by reduction of the jitter. you could get reclocker instead and forget about special computers, playback programs, footers, platforms etc.[url]https://wyred4sound.com/products/digital-converters/remedy-rec... | |
| Lewinskih01... Zoot 45 Type of interface should not matter since HD stores data and not the music stream. | |
| Ripping CD's - Bypassing Computer CD Player Quality of computer CDP has nothing to do with it. Get good ripping software like MAX or XLD for Mac or EAC for Windows. Ripping program reads CD as data instructing CDP to re-read given sector multiple times until proper checksum is obtained. MAX... | |
| Voltage conversion in Wyred4 Sound DAC Gnanasekhar, electronics equipped with switching power supply will often operate over whole voltage range. One example might be Benchmark DAC2 that operates 88-264V 50/60Hz.I have older version - DAC1 but it is not universal (linear power supply). | |
| Size of Midrange Drivers Johnyb53, unfortunately Hyperion went bankrupt since design is only small part of success. Now, I feel uneasy about spare parts or service. | |
| Size of Midrange Drivers Lewinskih01, I have no idea. Hyperion went bankrupt (poor marketing, poor dealer base) without any parts sale. I'm not sure why they decided upon such large midrange driver but I suspect they wanted to reduce membrane excursion making it more line... | |
| Size of Midrange Drivers Duke, midrange drivers in my speakers use ferrofluid suspension instead of spiderweb (to increase speed by lowering overall mass). Coils are oversized connected to flat ring that holds membrane (instead of dust cap).http://www.enjoythemusic.com/su... | |
| cd-r music for blanks Rbbert, thank you for correction. | |
| cd-r music for blanks Taiwanese Taiyo Yuden are one of the best (they invented CD-R) - recently bought by JVC. I would make sure it is original Taiyo Yuden. Recording on music CD-Rs makes any recording legal (like tape). Since recording is legal you can make copy of it... | |
| Size of Midrange Drivers Johnyb53, I cannot hear that. Perhaps others couldn't hear it either since it received whole bunch of awards including Absolute Sound "Speaker of the Year" 5 years in a row, Enjoy the Music "Best of 2004" and "Decade Award", Stereo Times 2005, 200... | |
| Size of Midrange Drivers 6.5" midrange drivers in my Hyperion HPS-938 speakers cover range of 230-3000Hz. They have ferrofluid suspension instead of traditional "spiderweb". Here is what hyperion says about it:"The Magnetic Fluid Damping System (M.F.D.S.) is another innov... | |
| Is It Ironic? Yes, too much resolution sometimes can be a bad thing - when listening to some horrible recordings from 50 years ago. They sounded OK on less resolving system. | |
| How loud is loud? I noticed that in spite of Fletcher-Munson curve some gear still plays lows and highs at low volume while other gear quits and sounds midrangy. Also, room itself plays role. In my room playing soft sounds cleaner with better imaging. I suspect it ... | |
| Is It Ironic? "Really good" is subjective opinion. I find older Rolling Stones record not so great sounding but have 2010 remasters that sound much better. Early Beatles recordings sounded just horrible, but to my surprise some people find them great sounding. ... | |
| How loud is loud? It depends on the recording. Constant high level will numb your ears and reduce dynamics. Rock bands often start at lower volume adding more later. Once I attended concert that was so loud that I could not open my mouth because my lungs were vibra... |
