| CD vs. Vinyl Al - what if Master Tape is digital (most common)? 1. Master Tape to CD to DAC to amp2. Master Tape to DAC to LP to ampBoth have one D/A conversion. Perhaps quality of D/A conversion is important since most of LPs now comes from digital Master Tapes? | |
| Mac with USB Dac Artmaltman - In ITunes create smart playlist called for instance Jazz the set in the playlist settings that Genre is equal Jazz. After it is created i change name to add "-" in front. It will make your lists appear before other lists. Now you shou... | |
| Digital Amps vs Solid State Amps Magfan - I remember in late 70's Timex/Sinclair computer with BASIC interpreter and keypad with direct commands. Whole thing was running on Z80 Zilog processor. It had 1kB of RAM but you could extend it with external plug in module. I played fasci... | |
| Have you tried matching a stereo to your hearing? Elizabeth - recording deficiencies are usually more complex than Treble & Bass. Tone controls can do more harm than good. | |
| The CD player is dead....... Timrhu - Thank you. As for PO, he is overly passionate about format choice but I agree 100% with Tvad - it doesn't have to be antagonistic since formats tend to stay for a long time and are also convertible. I will expire before CDs, for sure. | |
| The CD player is dead....... Timhru - I appologize. I read your post twice and didn't notice PO. I'm perhaps overly sensitive to my lack of language skills. For some reason system did not allow me to erase my previous post.As for the speed - I use MAX and noticed that not onl... | |
| The CD player is dead....... "You may be one of the worst communicators I have encountered on any forum."I might be since English is my second language but stating that is rude and immature. I don't car to answer to your posts. | |
| You're selling that? But you just got it "I could be at the bar or nightclub looking at different women or on audiogon looking at different gear - you decide."That would be blackmail and extortion. | |

| The CD player is dead....... Alex - I'm pretty sure that most of CDP don't spin faster and FIFO buffer is filled in real time just to take out jitter (while PLL keeps same average of both clocks). $19.95 Pioneer is not necessarily much worse then $6000 Esoteric since Pioneer ... | |
| The CD player is dead....... Mitch4t - Yes I remember "no floppy" scare.It is not easy to make predictions. I remember one serious columnist claiming 20 years ago that Hard Disks will never go larger than 40MB because mechanical cost will be too prohibitive. Today we know tha... | |
| Have you tried matching a stereo to your hearing? Mceljo - Speaker might have perfect frequency characteristic measured with individual tones but horrible sound (phase shifts, wrong harmonics summing). | |
| The CD player is dead....... Mlsstl - 374 million CDs sold in 2009 is correct but it was 12.7% decrease from previous year. At the same time individual downloads increased by 8.3% to 1.3 billion. If you count per total number of songs then digital downloads represent only 40%... | |
| Best $2000-$3000 full range speaker? Klein - It should be 938s (Hyperion HPS-938). | |
| Best $2000-$3000 full range speaker? Klein - I use 838s in unforgiving combination of Rowland 102 amp (class D) and Benchmark DAC1. Everything sounds just right. Tons of detail, great imaging, lots of dynamics and absolutely no brightness. Sibilants are very clean and natural and mid... |
