| any audiophile guitarists out there? I'm tired of not making progress. I hope to find more time and patience (read: attention span) and move slowly forward. I have hard time to concentrate and to remember musical phrase but it will come with practice. I played more when I was young b... | |
| any audiophile guitarists out there? I might a beginner but not to instrument itself. I can appreciate presence, projection, sustain, separation and tone of good guitar. My lessons were to play classical notation but I've played guitar for a long time (on and off). As for strings - t... | |
| any audiophile guitarists out there? Daveyf - Martin is probably the only one that is worth more used than I paid for new - everything else would be a loss. To me Martin and Les Paul (Silvertone made by Samick is decent) are part of history and I really enjoy having them. Strats, hav... | |
| Toddler-Friendly Budget Speakers? The only way I know of making childproof home is to make sure they cannot get in. If you anticipate being "visited" - better get rid of stands and anchor heavy objects to walls. Attaching speakers to wall or ceiling with straps might be good solut... | |
| any audiophile guitarists out there? Daveyf - I started with classical Cordoba R40 and took some lessons then bought Martin D15 to follow by used cheap Silvertone copy of Les Paul (changing pickups to Seymour Duncan Jazz and JB) plus mentioned Valvetronix and finally Ibanez Soungear ... | |
| any audiophile guitarists out there? Daveyf - Before I realize I have no talent for music I bought 30W VOX Valvetronic. It uses DSP processing to mimic sound of different cabinets but also effects. Non-distorted effects are pretty good but distorted are horrible. At the time I consid... | |
| any audiophile guitarists out there? It is Roland Microcube. Rowland makes only audio gear. | |
| longevity of good speakers "The fluid in tweeters may dry out" - or midrange (my Hyperions have ferrofluid damping in 6 1/2" midrange).I believe fluid can be replaced. | |
| Toddler-Friendly Budget Speakers? Mapman - wider at the bottom is good but it would be ideal to have membranes outside of reach or covered by steel mesh (or woofer firing down). | |
| Dolby Noise Reduction: Relevant or Not? Amount added is mostly above 5kHz so playback without Dolby will be a little bright and noisy. Idea of Dolby NR is to suppress tape noise. | |
| asynchronous USB dac or jitter reducing device No, they reduce all S/PDIF jitter (transport, cable etc). They cannot reduce jitter of their own D/A clock.There is also jitter in A/D process - that one cannot be removed. Poorly digitized tapes at the beginning of CD have to be digitized again (... | |
| The Sound or Music "Does that make me not an audiophile?"Yes it does - since you care about sound.Public library is great. For a while selection was limited and physical quality (scratches) really bad. Now they have a lot of CDs plus judging by radial marks (when I ... | |
| The Sound or Music Orpheus10 - You are right but it doesn't have to be LP. I listen more to violin solo CDs that I was avoiding before because sound was flat and screechy - not interesting (even annoying). I cannot separate sound from the music - it is one whole exp... | |
| The Sound or Music Synthfreek - 7000 CDs is incredible. How long are you collecting?If you chose Boombox you are a music lover. Sadly, because people pay more attention to music producers pay less attention to quality. As long as people buy poorly recorded CDs nothi... | |
| The Sound or Music Yeah.. Cindy on the drums and Tal Winkenfeld on the bass.Any more ladies? |
