| Dumb file size question. On that DR page, in the comments section, the files were FLAC. They either converted them in their computer for analysis or they were sent FLAC files.I don't know if this affects the DR numbers, probably not, but I usually see wav files being anal... | |

| Sound Quality of red book CDs vs.streaming WAV should sound better... this is the file format that recording studios master to. And the format they deliver. Sometimes AIFF.In the analogue world, record pressing plants can request any format they want. | |
| Where do cables upgrades have the most impact? Most online cable dealers offer a trial period included with a sale.So, the next step is to decide on which brand to try.I would advise introducing one cable at a time when auditioning. | |
| Zerostat Milty really? Courtesy of another thread, the proper use of the Milty anti-static gun. Also applies to the Zerostat.https://cleanyourgrooves.com/252-2/ | |
| Does anyone use white gloves to handle records? There’s nothing wrong with wearing gloves to handle records if that works for you. As @wolfgarcia and Fremer alluded to, most people dont need them.@bradf , interesting stuff. I'm going to use the Swiss microfiber gloves on my next burglary. I’m... | |
