| The best CD Player for the money Magfan - As they say "The beauty is in the eye of beerholder" - some people like NOS players while others like me like a lot of oversampling. I have test disk (Sheffield Lab Test CD) where they imitate NOS an OS with the sound of a drum. I thing t... | |
| Legal & Ethical Questions in the PC Audio Age Poverty is a really bad thing and people shouldn't do it!Seriously - I know (I hope) when I'm committing illegal act like unauthorized copying of CD or driving 56mpg in 55mpg zone but we have to remember that we are buying from the crooks who in c... | |
| How important is S/N Ratio....? Wavetrader - as far as I know electrons don't flow. Electric current is an electromagnetic wave (while electrons move only about 1/2" per second) which is also difficult to explain using example od stacked balls since space between electrons is in... | |
| Legal & Ethical Questions in the PC Audio Age Frank Thank you - I was mixing fair use with unauthorized copying.

| Legal & Ethical Questions in the PC Audio Age Frank - I love the story and will send you a ham for it unless you're jewish. I had jewish lawyer once and he was very honest - could this be somehow related to lack of ham temptation? | |
| How important is S/N Ratio....? Eldaford - Jet plane was a joke but I think you mixing landing and taking off. During landing they are very quiet.I read once that 120dB was equivalent to standing next to jet engine during take-off (should I say running very fast). To visualize w... | |

| How important is S/N Ratio....? Wavetrader - that's good!Clio09 - more headroom is always better if you can afford it. If you have let say $1k to buy an amp would you be better with mediocre 1kW amp or great 100W amp. 1kW amp should be twice louder but not always. Amps are rated... | |
| The best CD Player for the money Muralman - I read Kusunoki's article and have few problems with it. First is that he suddenly jumps to single picoseconds from 173ps by increasing number of bits to 20 and claims that it is not possible. we are not reading 20-bit from CD but 16. W... | |

| What am I doing??? Ckoffend - I second that. One can live without house, car, wife and children but certainly cannot live without good gear. | |
| Why do dealers do this? Roc_Doc My experience was just the opposite. I borrowed speakers from one dealer and brought them to another who sells another line of speakers. They helped me to bring them in, installed them with their best gear and played couple of hours switc... | |
| How important is S/N Ratio....? Magfan - large dynamic range of 120dB or more is absolutely necessary to reproduce real sound of the large jet planes taking off when I see it on TV. |
