Tbg,I know I'm right in regards to reproducing what a person hears at a live performance. The way most recordings are miked, the geometry involved in detecting sound is different than that involved with human ears, I think that is a fact.A system ... 
Holographic imaging
No recording will ever capture the same spatial cues and no system will ever present them to you equivalently as occurred when your ears registered them live. So I believe its a pipe dream to think that any system is doing this accurately. Given t...

SO will the H-cat gear be on display at the RMAF?Seems like that would greatly help present the case based at least on relative sonic merit if not technical details.

Carlos269,Very well said. Bravo! 
Need advice on formats for vinyl recordings
Also, 24bit/192k loss less might be overkill for recording vinyl but try it and see if the sound justifies the data volumes. I'd be interested to hear you observations if you can share.I use a $600 Denon CD recorder to copy vinyl to recordable CD ...

I'm using Windows Media Player on a Vista laptop with the export media option on as a server and for ripping files. It comes with Windows, is lightning fast ripping (just a few minutes per CD) to loss less .wav or .wma lossless and sound quality i...

Roger,In the end, rhe proof is always in the hearing....Cheers!

Roger,Maybe, but I'm not trying to sell anybody anything so I'm the only one who has to live with my crap.Also, your innovation is a lot more expensive than my crap and what my crap does and how it does it is well documented by the vendors so you ...

The only additional processing I use these days is DBX for dynamic range enhancement on oocasion. When I use it, I believe its generally due to dynamic range deficiencies in the recording compared to live sound rather than anything missing with my...

"How do you correct and compensate for something that you can not measure????? It would seem to me that a circuit smart enough to compensate for these so call velocity, I mean "Doppler Effect" errors would need some sort of a "sense" circuit with ... 
Amp vs preamp question
The numbers are just guidelines to help narrow the search and get you there quicker. After that, its largely subjective...a matter of taste.I'd consider some of the more powerful Class D amps with the Thiels to get them fully fleshed out at reason... 
What music do you want to play really loud?

Is there a system out there that can be measured in such a manner as to quantify exactly how it sounds? Can systems be ranked accordingly on how good they sound based solely on measurements?Can anybody explain to me how a $1000 power cord works di... 
Amp vs preamp question
Usually, its the bass at lower to moderate volumes that suffers driving speakers with difficult loads with amps that are not up to the task.IF you're willing to live with that for some other aspect of a particular amps sound, then I guess you will... 
Need rec on $500 preamp
Also forget the tuner and go with a Roku Soundbridge or a Squeezebox for internet radio (sound quality approaches CD and smashes FM) and then you might add a music server later as well.
