| Variations in how your system sounds? Absence makes the heart grow fonder, no doubt! :-) | |
| Variations in how your system sounds? We are not machines so we certainly do not perform equally well at anything every day, including focus and hearing.Consistency of source power and operation of any of our devices together day to day is always suspect but its hard to take the human... | |
| TECHNICS SL1200 MKII.......THE REAL FACTS There is something to be said for tts made back in the day when they were actually common and popular with the masses.Most of teh better newer "audiophile" tables are good no doubt, but more of a boutique type item which is different. They have a ... | |
| For real bass freaks?? I think I saw this on "1000 Ways to Die" TV show, can't recall the exact #. | |
| Procul H's I have most every classic PH album and a few CD compilations and they have all always sounded pretty to very good depending. PHs overall body of work is one the best and most varied in the rock music genre ever IMHO. | |
| CD Ripping software Almarg's scenario is as likely as any I suppose for accounting for sonic differences associated with format.But again, if so, it is not because the flac format looses anyting (when done correctly) but for other reasons associated with the playback... | |

| Small monitors for tv/music Triangle Titus is a very good choice. Excellent all around for their size and hard to beat at low to moderate volume. I use them in a similar setup. | |
| CD Ripping software Loosless compression is harmless if done correctly.Squeezedevices convert to compressed FLAC to trasmit from server to player even if source is .wav. THat makes for better performance and should have no effect on sound quality.If you rip to .wav, ... | |
| CD Ripping software I rip with WMP and it seems to work well as best I can tell by just listening. Based on time to rip, it appears to re-read data as needed in the interest of sound quality in that rip times can vary widely. If a disk is in very bad shape it can tak... | |
| Best small speakers? I've heard PSB sound very good with Rogue amps.Also Magnepan. | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Relatively speaking, dealing with any vintage gear is riskier than dealing with new. Value may be more as a collectable to a very narrow market than anything else with old stuff, no matter how good it is.But, where there is a will, there is usuall... | |
| An interesting Digital vs. Analog experience Focals are good choices for those who really "focus" on the high end of the audible spectrum.Not too shabby otherwise as well. |
