| Building your music digital music collection FLAC isn’t compressed. So if a commercial service doesn’t fill all your needs then either rip CDs to a hard drive in FLAC or or spin silver discs. If you are setup for DSD downloads that’s great but that is trickier | |
| help! no sound I didn’t get that in the OP you were trying to use headphones. I am also still confused what happens when you run the CD player directly into the amp with RCA cables. Are you getting music or what? If you are successfully playing music from the... | |
| McIntosh MCD12000 vs. Luxman D-10X vs. Technics SL-G700M2 I have actually heard all 3 players, all at shows or in a dealer showroom. The problem is that these auditions were all separated by significant lengths of time and different listening environments, differing partnering components, etc. So with ... | |
| Humminguru record cleaner Vinyl for me is a secondary medium. I only have about 20 albums and don’t anticipate obtaining many more. I pay a guy who has a ultrasonic machine who charges $5/lp and also provides a new MoFi sleeve. These recordings shouldn’t require a secon... | |
| Volume levels +1 @audphile1 I did the same a few years ago. I then decided to buy a direct drive turntable, because I had always lusted after one back in the day and it was a bucket list thing. I’ve limited my lp purchases to vintage lps that were never ... | |
| Adding wireless speakers to my current, vintage analog system. What is BLT? Bacon, Lettuce and tomato? Don’t lose sleep over not getting 32 bit/768 kHZ material. There are probably no recordings that were actually made at these settings. These crazy numbers are obtained by upsampling. Even if such a re... | |
| help! no sound I don’t understand when you say you say the cd player is producing sound through the speakers. CD players usually don’t make audible noise except music. Sometimes you can hear a disc spinning noise but is if you are physically close to the cd pl... | |
| low BT audio on Sony WF-1000XM5 using iPhone 15 Pro at max device volume I actually had this same issue. I have Sony buds but was using the Apple buds until I lost them. The Sonys are nice but it took some manipulation to get the volume to a level that I like | |
| Beatles CD box set How demanding is your wife when it comes to audio fidelity? Most normal people just want to hear the music and not obsess over audiophilia. If she is like the other 99.9% of the world pick any CD issue of choice, unless you think she might enjoy... | |
| Hegel viking CD player I had posted on this, basically asking the same question, when it was released a few months back, with no responders then. ”Worth” is always going to be a subjective issue. One question is whether or not you play ripped CDs from a Hard Drive an... | |
| Volume levels +1 @snilf Digital has a wider dynamic range than analog. This was one of the selling points of the format 40 years ago. I suspect that the OP is more signal to noise related. Even the best analog is going to have some noise in the backgr... | |
| Upgrade My Turntable - How Much Do I Need to Spend? @hikerneil Just out of curiosity, what is there to prevent you from listening to an entire album that you have ripped to your server? at any rate, although a starter level table would not be commensurate with the quality of the rest of your sys... | |
| DAC/Streamer/PreAmp +1 @audphile1 There are so many forums for discussing politics. I turn to hobbyist sites to get away from it. Why do people think that they have to spread their political views into every nook and crannie of life | |

| Rega Planar 3 50th anniversary @goodlistening64 do you live around Ann Arbor? I think I saw an Overture there. So correct my ignorance here,but if the motor died, shouldn’t the whole thing not work? The Rega spun discs, but as it turned out I brought the table to another r... |
