| Digital Amps vs Solid State Amps Not exactly. FM was proposed first by Edwin Howard Armstrong in 1935 paper: "A Method of Reducing Disturbances in Radio Signaling by a System of Frequency Modulation"Class D amplifier was proposed first by P.J Baxandal in 1959.First commercial cla... | |
| 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... | |
| The Best Best Speaker Thread "I don't think there is such a speaker unless everyone in the universe all agree on"Everyone in good society holds exactly the same opinion. | |
| The CD player is dead....... Pettyofficer - I don't know if music or computer industries are going to do anything with CD format. My impression is that they don't care. I like CDs and buy them but use computer server just for the convenience. I use Apple Lossless format (ALAC... | |
| The CD player is dead....... Pettyofficer - A lot of words with a little or no sense plus unnecessary name calling. Stop using, man. | |
| Are DACS necessary? Bsoz - I'm using Benchmark DAC1 as a pre since I don't have analog sources - otherwise I would find DAC with preamp like Benchmark DAC1 PRE. Using DAC as a preamp eliminates one set of interconnects. | |
| You're selling that? But you just got it "Should I divorce her for manipulating me so?" - If you do, I'll take her. I love to be manipulated like that.Friend of mine has speakers covered all the time by ornamental blankets because, according to his wife, they are not esthetically pleasin... | |
| The CD player is dead....... "Kijanki, I still don't know why I am NOT getting through!"I'm still not sure what you want to improve in "Music Storage". The only parameter that counts is the jitter and it can be suppressed many different ways. My storage to DAC transimission e... | |
| You're selling that? But you just got it What if she is the one into this hobby? Would she trade shoes for a gear? (are you there Elizabeth?) | |
| The CD player is dead....... Pettyofficer - Take it easy. Nobody wants to get you or take away your CDs. I'm not sure what you call computer audio but in my setup I cannot hear the difference between computer playback over Airport Express and directly connected transport. For... |
