| You cable haters please DO this. I'm sorry, but you debased your entire "cable experiment" by changing out your Equi=Tech power supply. Going from unbalanced to balanced (Equi=Tech) AC will make ANY system sound notably better. In short, your entire experiment merely compared unb... | |

| Musical Fidelity MX-VYNL phono stage review More space saving than cost saving, I suspect, since the mini-XLR connector is a fraction of the size of two std. XLR ins, and the MX-VYNL is quite small. But you are right, that mini-XLR is a problem. When I last looked, 2-channel XLR to mini-XLR... | |
| Active studio monitors anyone? A note of caution. As mentioned, studio monitors tend to be holographic and attention commanding, and perhaps aren't the best for background listening. Moreover, a system like the PSI will tell you the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the tr... | |
| Going to rip 2000 cds. Which software? @parabolic Likewise. Exact Audio Copy isn't necessarily the fastest, or the easiest to use, but it's the best ripper there is. And it's free... | |
| Active studio monitors anyone? @cwlondon Not to mention obsessing over speaker wire/cable/whatever, interconnects unbalanced/balanced 10-9s OFHC, and of course the preamp. Myself, I don’t even use a preamp. Same as the fellow referenced by bob_reynolds, I have for years used a ... | |
| Active studio monitors anyone? @inna - The answer to your question is that *active* pro monitors are not made for or marketed to consumers. No salons and a flattened distribution chain, very limited and very specialized advertising, little or no fancy furniture and no concern a... | |
| Active studio monitors anyone? For many practical reasons, active monitors are what one will find in many project and mastering studios. Pro monitors are not designed for or marketed to the retail trade; beautiful woodwork and WAF are not a concern and marketing costs are kept ... | |
| Redbook Keeps Surprising Thank you dgarretson, and exactly. As I have said repeatedly, one can dispose of the original recording however one sees fit. One mustn't, however, retain, or worse sell or give away, *copies* of copyrighted recordings. Retailers, or libraries, o... | |
| Redbook Keeps Surprising *Sigh*As I've already noted, copyright law gets weedy and complex, fast. I'm not a lawyer and others seem willing to wade into it deeper. More power to them. In short, if one disposes of a commercial CD in such a manner that some else can own it a... | |
| Redbook Keeps Surprising One more time, and let's see if I can make this clear. One can do what one wants with the original recording. One can play it (but not in public), resell it, give it away, throw it away or rip it *for one's own personal use*. The one thing one can... | |
| Redbook Keeps Surprising @jon2020 Understand, first of all, I'm not an attorney and copyright law is often ridiculously stupid and complex. The legal rule of thumb, however, is that there are NO commercial recordings that are in the public domain, not even the old Edison ... | |
| Redbook Keeps Surprising @jafreeman, jon2020 et al.From our "friends" at RIAA:"Copying CDs It’s okay to copy music onto special Audio CD-R’s, mini-discs, and digital tapes (because royalties have been paid on them) – but not for commercial purposes. Beyond that, the... | |
| Redbook Keeps Surprising @ oregonpapa et al.I presume that you realize that ripping and then reselling, even donating, the physical CD is a flagrant violation of the fair-use provisions of the copyright law. You MUST have physical possession of the original CD, LP, DVD wh... | |
| how do you record audible sound, and play it back as infrasound ? I'm not quite sure I understand the question, but... Assuming the recording is digital, any DAW can lower the pitch of a recording with or without changing the tempo. Altho, going all the way down into the infrasonic range, I dunno... |
