The OFFICAL Apple TV thread Has the JITTER problem of the Airport Express been banished?I can't use my AE with my DAC because of jitter problems. | |
WAV versus FLAC Isn't that what I said?My experiment would confirm it is the processing / conversion, not the file.All the lossless files 'decode' to the same parent file, but HOW it happens is the difference. That's what I've heard as the objection to USB as a f... | |
good amp for Maggies? The Classe monoblocks will work fine.One of the other possibilities is a good 'd' amp..... though to be honest, if I'd had the $$$ I'd have gone with the Pass INT-150 | |
Oh how I wish Class D amps ... 'd' amps have a pretty good phase shift in the HF range due to the Zobel. If the frequency were higher, the turnover point could also be higher, getting the phase shift above the audible range.....Maybe that's it? | |
WAV versus FLAC I just had an idea, so bear with me.First, people hear differences between file types, and some, like Simo, above hear it regularly enough to ID file types...or at least tell the difference.However, this is testing the computer as much as the file... | |
Opinions on Mogami Cable? I use Mogami balanced between source (CDP) and amp. Bought 'em at Guitar Center, of all places. They had the 'Studio Gold' and I bought the 6' length.Good cable and I'd get 'em again over most others. | |
NHT 3.3 , anybody modded this speaker? 'Odd' capacitor values are probably caps in parallel which add to the correct value.Inductors? Several online calculators if you are willing to wind your own! Also, many inductor makers will 'dewind' the next higher value to whatever you require.M... | |

Wyred 4 Sound experience with 804Ds They SHOULD sound very similar to all the other 'd' amps out using the ASP module from B&O. By similar I mean 'Really Tough to tell apart'. pics of W4S amp.http://www.wyred4sound.com/webapps/site/74030/117839/shopping/shopping-view.html?pid=36... | |
Magnepan 1.7 Have you experimented with SETUP? Panels can require some patients in that department.Also, flip 'em around. Adjust toe. Adjust front wall spacing.Keep track of what you try. | |
what type of subwoofer is good for ribbons Asymmetrical sub placement is good.....Very Good. I read the Harman white paper some time ago and that was one major conclusion.However, not having deep enough pockets to afford even a pair of the modest sub I ended up with, I must rely on my wack... | |
Phase inverting problem Can you REALLY tell? Most people can't, and given the way modern music is recorded, no wonder. Modern music is a jumble of phase, sometimes recorded in different places days apart. I doubt any recording engineer pays any attention to absolute phas... | |
what type of subwoofer is good for ribbons Since the only Maggies w/true ribbon drivers are the 3-series and the 20-series, you will be in a very good class of panel.However, I'd skip the sub until you decide you really need it. The 3.6, soon to be 3.7 is pretty good while the 20.1 is very... | |
Worst Rock Band Ever !!!! Holy Modal Rounders.Makes (fill in blank) look like Beethoven | |
Why the obsession with the lowest octave Why the bottom octave?Because it sounds so right, when done right. |
