| Audiophile Record Labels I have very good recordings from Linn, Hyperion, Sheffield Labs, Telarc. | |
| Amplifier Specs Question is different from accusing somebody of cheating.B&K amp in question is most likely class D amp where output circuitry (Zobel network) would burned out at full power at high frequencies. It is irrelevant since there is very little powe... | |
| Amplifier Specs Do not call it cheating unless you can explain why you need 150W above 1kHz. | |
| Playback Designs MPS-5 - Measerments v. Sound Papaya - How can you expect "intensity" from the source (CD, LP) that has compressed dynamics. Just grand piano alone has huge dynamics that cannot be reproduced without speakers "buzzing" on boom box or cheap system. Audiophiles represent very sm... | |
| Green, Eco Friendly Class A Monoblocks Atmasphere - average music power delivered to speakers is very low. It is in order of few watts (few percent of max power) while class A takes up to 8x max power. Class A take the same power all the time. When delivers power to speakers (few watts... | |
| Buy LED, LCD or Plasma "Not that many people actually repair electronics these days, but something to consider."Yes it is. Best Buy has repair facility that is able to replace bad parts (fixed my CRT TV). The problem is that boards are SMT and ICs are very difficult or ... | |
| Playback Designs MPS-5 - Measerments v. Sound Michael - Certain measurement such as noise or jitter are important but spects might be useless. I would not buy , for instance, an amp on specifications alone and would tend to pick for audition one that has poor measurements.SACD - is one bit PW... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Jabo - Not only they did't fall in love with Chinese people enough to sell them DVDs below cost but they admitted small profit at $1.25 Let me be generous, in spite of such admission, and agree that $3 is the price in China. What the heck - lets m... | |
| If I am buying a DAC, does my CD player matter? There are two types of DACs: asynchronous upsampling jitter rejecting and non-upsampling (oversampling and non-oversampling). In first case (Dacs like Benchmark DAC1) transport doesn't matter (huge jitter rejection) and anything will do (I use ser... | |
| airport express questions Jax2 - Itunes is not the best choice for ripping, I agree. I also agree that numbers published by Stereophile or other magazines are meaningless. I would even say that best tested devices have often the worst sound (there are reasons for that).Ste... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? No Jaybo - They sell originall DVDs for $2 there. That what regional code was for. In 2006 Time Warner was selling DVDs for 10 yuan ($1.25) while Twentieth Century Fox was planning to sell DVDs for 20-25 yuan (about $3). Both companies admitted th... | |
| airport express questions Jax2 - Stereophile tested digital output of Airptort Express and compared to original uncompressed file they sent from I tunes and they are bit for bit identical with 255ps of word jitter.APLC does not reduce quality of MP3. There is no missing bi... | |
| airport express questions "but it will always sound like mp3, those compressed/dropped out bits are gone forever." - I agree. | |
| playing cdr's You might have:- dirty lens (buy cleaning CD)- poor CD-rs (get Taiyo Yuden here: http://www.supermediastore.com/product/u/taiyo-yuden-52x-cd-r-silver-thermal-printable-value-line-100-pack?max=15&offset=0)Taiyo Yuden invented CD-R. | |
| Buy LED, LCD or Plasma I'm going to put TV over fireplace as well when current (since 2000) DLP TV dies. I don't care much for plasma. It looks worse (losing contrast) in bright light than LCD, has horrible reflections, is prone to etching a pattern (sidebars) effect an... |
