| According to the RIAA, It doesn't look good for physical media Amount of CDs sold most likely doesn't include used CDs sale. I tend to buy used on Amazon for the fraction of the price and often receive brand new or just missing cellophane wrapper. Condition is not that important anyway, since I rip them to ... | |
| Update on Audiogon Member Almarg My thoughts and prayers to you Al and your family. God bless you. | |
| USB cables and Galvanic Isolation USB generates an unpredictable set of outcomes depending on the implementation of USB ports of the server and DACAsynchronous USB can affect sound only by the fact that it is connected to something, like computer (injecting noise). The same appli... | |
| Problem with CD playing through... Cleaning laser should help. Some people had good results with tiny bit of mineral oil on the rails of the laser carriage. Be careful with it - just tiny amount.My CDP had Philips mechanism with magnetic clamp disk holding CD. This disk had felt... | |
| ls this the frequency of vinyl Never dial 666 Hz !!! (frequency of the Beast). | |
| Music server feeding Oppo UDP-205 Your Oppo has asynchronous USB, making PC hardware irrelevant (as long as driver is good). I can only guess, that computer injects electrical noise into Oppo. I would try USB cable without power wires (GND, +5V). You can also try different USB ... | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need unfairlane, claiming that only speaker cable or amp's output impedance affects damping, without taking into account resistance of the coil, shows lack of understanding of basic principles. It also appears that you share this lack of understanding... | |
| USB cables and Galvanic Isolation nicktheknife, If you hear it without signal present, then it cannot be caused by the jitter. Even with the signal present jitter wouldn't show as one frequency, but as added noise (lack of clarity etc). It is alway possible that electrical noise... | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need b4icu, yes there is a lot of ignorance in this area, so let me try to explain how membrane damping works. When amplifier outputs positive voltage membrane goes forward. Motion of the membrane is caused by electric current thru the coil. When membr... | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need For the purpose of damping the membrane speaker cable doesn't matter, since it is a fraction of an ohm in series to many ohms of the speaker impedance (breaking back EMF current circuit). Best effective DF you can get is about 1.5 and DF>25 (n... | |
| has anybody else noticed this about singers? guitarsam, he died 6 years ago. I highly recommend his last record, wonderfully recorded with top musicians:https://www.amazon.com/Go-Back-Home-Jimmy-Scott/dp/B01N0AT3WZ/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=jimmy... | |
| has anybody else noticed this about singers? Jimmy Scott, a Jazz singer, was called a "singers singer" (not Sinatra). He had poor voice, but intelligence of the phrase and understanding of the words made up for more than that. While singing is an art, good voice, always helpful, is only a fr... | |
| The psychological factor rvpiano, I have AHB2 and use it at the lowest gain settings (Pro-level) as recommended by Benchmark (with DAC3 HGC). The whole idea is to move as much gain as possible to preamp (quieter environment) from power amp (noisier environment), not to me... | |
| Projector comparisons I have 65" Sony (Android TV). Black levels and contrast are exceptional. I know that Sony makes 85" TVs (less than $4k). 20 years ago I had Samsung DLP. Color wheel made noises and bulb was expensive to replace. AFAIK all movie theaters use D... | |
| Best way to measure an Amp's power capability What differs is how the power is measured. RMS (root mean square) is .707 of the maximum power. An amp output into a nominal load of 8 ohms at 1kHz at RMS continuous is a standard measurement. Ceteras paribas, amps should be compared using a comm... |
