| What's your favorite audio codec? I have to agree with Osgorth here. I'm not sure I understand what you're saying Jc51373, and I think you may have been mislead. ALAC is not 1:1, it is lossless compression, just like FLAC or Monkey's. (That's why it's called Apple Lossless Audio C... | |
| What's your favorite audio codec? Apple Lossless is cool because it's lossless, but it SUCKS compared with any other lossless format I know of, especially FLAC and Monkey's Audio. Both of these formats compress the file much more than Apple Lossless can. Check them out. | |
| What's your favorite audio codec? Osgorth, I believe that Rockbox supports Monkey's.I should note that I switched back to the iPod OS for three reasons:1. Significantly worse battery life with Rockbox2. Significantly slower performance with Rockbox (this could have had to do with ... | |
| How to audition used speakers??? What do you all think of Magnepans for this application? | |
| Horns vs Ribbons vs Dyanamic Audiokinesis,The single driver dynamic speaker that you mentioned had great imaging, did this happen to be an Ohm speaker? | |
| How to audition used speakers??? Thanks Mcpody, will do! | |
| How to audition used speakers??? Great posts and great points! Honest1, I think you're totally right; I was worried that Spicas wouldn't fare well only being driven by 40 watts. In a dormroom, I think that abuse could be possible. For those of you skeptical about putting ANY syst... | |
| How to audition used speakers??? I've thought this way Goatwuss, but I can only listen to a small number of brands by going to a dealer. Even if I go to three different dealers, I may only be exposed to a few speakers. What if I'm curious about vintage speakers or speakers that o... | |
| Horns vs Ribbons vs Dyanamic Ah thanks Nsgarch. I didn't realize these things! Several questions:1. I have seen pictures of so-called "horn drivers" that are outside of an enclosure; what does this mean?2. What makes dynamic transducers different from electrostatic ones, and ... | |
| How to audition used speakers??? Thanks for the responses so far. I'm planning on using these speakers for a second system (in my dorm). I will reuse an Onkyo receiver which has an output of only 40 WPC (into 8 ohms, I believe). Since the output of the receiver is small, I'm thin... | |
| Anyone Hear New Ohm Walsh MKIII driver upgrades? I have Ohm Walsh Super 2 S3s (what a ridiculously long name, no?). This is the old, discontinued Walsh 2 cabinet with current Walsh 100 S3 drivers, similar the ones you are asking about. I haven't heard the old MKII drivers, but I can tell you tha... | |
| What are the best quality speakers for under $500? I strongly suggest looking at used speakers. Also, visit this website for some good advice: http://www.high-endaudio.com/RC-EntryLevel.htmlI have a pair of Ohm Acoustics speakers. They are the only high quality speakers I have bought. I recommend ... | |
| Recommended first turntable? Tvad, what about the TD 180, is it good? Also, how does a used Thorens compare with a new Rega P1? Finally, how can I be sure that a used turntable is in good condition? I had no problems buying my amp used, but what about a turntable? Thanks, and... | |
| Recommended first turntable? Dual CS 5000 or Rega P1? | |
| Recommended first turntable? Good look Tvad, unfortunately someone bought it before I saw your post! |
