| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Alex, I'm sure there are many great TTs but in my small world it often resembles discussion about performance of Rolls-Royce vs. Bentley. For the money I could spend on decent TT I upgraded speakers from average to great but could also upgrade mai... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? "gee, I think the factory down the road just finished for the day; hmmm, I wonder if Cathy has her computer on in her bedroom; man, another one of those steamy, humid days"Frank, as I said "on even Tuesdays" | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Frank - you're right about the house. Unfortunately it is the most expensive part of any audio system. With much less than perfect room, varying quality of the recordings, synergy of all components and taste/preference of the listener, discussing ... | |

| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Learsfool, I'm pretty sure there are one mike digital recordings but agree that digital is promoting multi-microphone use. I'd like to know why they do it since one mike recording seems the most natural to me. They have to gain something by placin... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? For me it is only issue of playback, since I cannot tell analog from digital master (other than hiss of tape). I believe it is better to allocate all resources into digital than building two systems (since LP selection is so limited).Again, LP pla... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Learsfool, My friend who works for very large recording studio said that they got rid of very expensive analog tape recorders more than 10 years ago and everything since is done digital. Your ears, being in orchestra, plus experience with live ins... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Learsfool,IMHO people object to digital playback and not the recording itself. Most of the LP material comes from digital masters but very few object to that. Perhaps the real problem is in the playback where in redbook CD (16/44.1) higher frequen... | |
| Benchmark DAC-1 Get The Most Out Of Your DAC-1 Yingtonggao - Benchmark DAC1 had two problems at the very beginning:- thin sounding Signetics/Philips NE5532 OpAmps- high output impedance on unbalanced (RCA) out.Texas Instruments bought NE5532 license, after Philips factory burned down in 2000/2... | |
| Ceiling tiles using rigid fiberglass Cathode, I'm making twelve 2'x4' 2" panels using Johns Manville 817 rigid fiberglass panels http://www.jm.com/insulation/performance_materials/products/ci9_800series_spin-glas.pdfI considered Corning 705 but sound absorption coefficient at 125Hz i... | |
| Squeezebox Touch: jitter thru wi-fi? The worse case for two channel spdif is 24bit at 192kHz. 24 bit data is transferred in 32bit packets (8 bit preamble).32bit x 2channels x 192kHz = 12.3Mbps802.11g runs at up to 54Mbps while 802.11n more than doubles it. | |
| Proper use volume control? "Turn clockwise and volume increases. Turn counter-clockwise and the volume decreases."Audiofeil - It doesn't work. I turned and turned, clockwise and counter-clockwise but volume stayed the same. | |
| Squeezebox Touch: jitter thru wi-fi? Mapman, that might be true but it has nothing to do with resolution of the system mentioned in the statement. | |
| Can temperature fluctuations affect audio gear? Paulsax, Yes there is a lot of approximation. Junction to ambient temp. coefficient often assumes certain size of heatsink on vertical PC board center located in 1 cubic foot of enclosed space. It never happens so designer has to approximate a lot... | |
| balanced vs. unbalanced sound quality Nineballg - I use 0.5m balanced with class D amp. Balanced cables have locking connectors. In addition they use male/female connectors preventing accidental touching of the input (exposed input always female). |
