| will different lengths affect sound If you believe that one speaker cable has different sound from another then this sonic signature will be proportional to the length of the cable. Sonic difference will be very small and you can probably convince yourself that there is or isn't any... | |
| It's all local now Rok2id - Yes, it was special. Young daughter of my friend said to me "you guys were lucky to live in times of all these great bands". | |
| Bandwidth question? Magfan,That's true, but sensitivity of the amp does not end at -3dB point. Also antenna reception still exists at 1/10 of the wavelength. If we take, in your example, level drop of 20dB/decade it will be only -43dB at 10x10x150kHz=15MHz. Your full... | |
| Bandwidth question? I agree that most of us can hear only up to perhaps 15kHz but higher system bandwidth guarantees low phase shift. For instance my Rowland 102 amp has -3dB bandwidth of 65kHz but at 15kHz has phase shift of about -20 degree. Even at 10kHz it is sti... | |
| It's all local now "You can't be in it because you really expect fame or fortune"With exceptions: Rolling Stones made $558 million between 2005 and 2007 on "Bigger Bang" tour. Previous "Forty Licks" tour brought them $200 million. They love to play, I'm sure, but $7... | |
| It's all local now If I remember correctly The Beatles started in 1962 but got really popular in 1964. Last concert was two years later and since then the best material was released in the studio only - no chance to listen to most of great records at the concert (st... | |
| WAV vs. FLAC vs. AIFF Steve, I don't understand why SSD could be better. Music data on HD does not contain timing information. As for transfer rate required (1.4Mb/s for 16/44.1) it is a tiny fraction of the slowest HD interface. Also, compressed files would transfer a... | |
| Can the copy sound better than the original? Ths364 - It can be also, that many ripping programs like EAC or MAX go many times over the same sector until they obtain proper checksum. CDP cannot do that, working in real time, (at least most of them) and interpolates missing samples. That way ... | |
| Best product/way to clean CD laser lens? I use ALLSOP ULTRA PROLENS CLEANER (CD with micro brushes) andMAXELL Blu-ray Lens Cleaner (Wind Funnel - touchless)Maxell has hole in CD that creates wind blowing dust off the lens without touching it. When it is not enough I use ALLSOP. | |
| If you could bring back one great artist that has I'd like to make a comment about Jimmy. I do not consider him a best guitarist (many better before and after) but I admire raw power and explosiveness he delivered. I like HIS music, guitar playing, singing - whole package. Please do not classify ... | |
| Music Server- SSD drives Luc, Music stored on hard drive has no timing - only data. As long as interface is faster than required data rate it will be OK. Data rate required for standard 16/44.1 CD is 1.4Mb/s while USB 2.0 is running at about 240Mb/s (wasting about 50% of ... | |
| Are Headphone amps worth the expense? Lacee,I agree. According to John Siau (technical director of Benchmark) headphones are the only way to accurately reproduce a piano - an instrument with very complex harmonic structure. Speakers' Xover screws up this complexity thus timbre. On the... | |
| Mac Mini vs. CDP? Robbob - I tunes does not rip bit perfect - even with error correction on. Use program like MAX (free) with "do not allow to skip" option set ON. It refuses or takes very long time (reading same sector multiple times until right checksum is obtain... | |
| Jitter and 75ohm cable length Thank you Al, and thanks for the links especially the second one. I suspect that balanced cable might be superior in noise rejection simply because of common mode rejection on the receiver side but also because wires are twisted what might be supe... | |
| Jitter and 75ohm cable length Magfan, CD data stream is asynchronous. It is also jittery because of less than perfect CD printing and reading plus quality of the transport and system noise. What is needed to reduce jitter is either to create stable clock for D/A converter base... |
