| Computer for home audio Cambridge Audio Dacmagic 100 in USB port of my HP laptop (16GB Ram + SSD). Result as good as it gets, no need for any snake oiled addons.orUSB 3.0 Flash drive in a ND 8006 Marantz to read wav and DSD.(and many other things). Should do. | |
| Multi amplification It is not a dorm blaster :) It is my office, roughly 4m X 4m, so yes I worry about micro delays. I suspect the 2 amps don't have the exact same response but maybe this is not a concern... | |
| What to do? Buy a new motherboard and rebuild? Or wait for failure? Ok... By choice, and because as a pro I can’t waste my youth (Although I’m quite retired from pcs as well) trying to find out what the origin of the problem was. My position is (was) simple: If windows doesn’t install correctly first time, I remov... | |
| What to do? Buy a new motherboard and rebuild? Or wait for failure? Actually for some reason you took the wrong direction from the beginning to end up in a dead end with no help from level 1 donkeys of MS support...Would have been easier, after a proper backup, to boot from the CD, Not from Windows, format the dri... | |
| What's your definition of analog smell? My 40y old SS H-H SCOTT smells analogue when on for a few minutes/hours. I know this smell. Old papers/books/cardboard/ old people furniture and houses... Not great in my office when I get clients coming. I have to explain and it's embarrassing, ... | |
| Girlfriends and wifes, how do YOU cope? I talked about buying this new amp... She said something like I was free to spend my money in all the junk I wanted and would be left with nothing at the end... So I didn't say anything and ordered a streamer with the amp. Then I installed them wh... | |
| Microphone for Youtube Recording Or you can use the technique used to record guitar amps. Put a Shure SM57 in front of your speaker, so 2 SM57, 2 stands, a field mixer, do the mix and equalization through uncoloured headphones and feed the camcorder/camera. You should be pretty c... | |
| Can we finally put Reel to Reel out of its misery? Put it to rest people. Last week end I offered a DAC to my Technics RS 1500 US R2R, and recorded on a brand new lpr35 some WAV and AAC out of my SSD laptop Hard drive. What an improvement! The playback is fantastic, even at 7.5. Tapes or LPs, I really enjoy listening to... | |
| Can we finally put Reel to Reel out of its misery? Put it to rest people. At some point there was quite a bunch of Hi fi VCRs able to record Audio very well. They were there originally to play Hi Fi stereo pre recorded movies and sure it was a great improvement over ordinary VHS. First tape I tested through my AKG headp... | |
| Does a DAC completely bypass the computer soundcard Thanks. So Today I bought a Cambridge Audio DAC Magic 100, and yes! finished the ugly compression that was ruining my laptop music. It is now dynamic, crystal clear, with a beautiful stereo image. Very pleased with the result. However, I can reall... | |
| Can we finally put Reel to Reel out of its misery? Put it to rest people. I didn't know some were still using cassettes… Lol! I thought they were all gone to the junkyard, where they belong. Apparently not! :D | |
| Can we finally put Reel to Reel out of its misery? Put it to rest people. Revox is/has building/built a new R2R in 2017 and Ballfinger M063 is a new R2R tape recorder out and in shops. R2R are not on their way out but rather on their way back in!http://www.ballfinger.de/tape-recorder-m-063 BTW I just got a beautiful Tec... | |
| An Audiophile is Anyone Who Loves Audio Regardless of Monetary Status. Agree? @brettmcee, I think you’re absolutely right, I think it is all about sound reproduction. Your example of the plane taking off is the perfect illustration. As an old DJ, trained as a sound engineer who worked for most of his life in the audio/video... | |
| YOUR AUDIO JOURNEY COMPLETION! Got the bug back and rebuilding a system that I suppose will be respectable, I just ordered a PM 8006 from Marantz, featurind a top integrated phono preamp, along with a Marantz ND 8006 CD/Streamer/Files reader media player DAC. My speakers are a ... | |
