| Cd Ripping - is it better to use inbuilt CD drive of laptop or use an external Cd drive I use dbpoweramp to rip.It uses a database to verify your rip as accurate or not by comparing to rips by other prior which is a good way to assure accurate rips.WIth accurate rip on, the software will reread data and take as long as needed to copy... | |
| Cd Ripping - is it better to use inbuilt CD drive of laptop or use an external Cd drive Unlike playing discs in real time the only thing that matters with drive is how fast it is i.e. How long rip will take. The software used will determine quality of rip. Internal versus external does not matter. Whichever works best for you. | |
| Choosing Sub-woofers. Please advise ASAP. Driver must move at frequency to reproduce however smaller drivers have to move more i.e. At greater amplitude to deliver same SPL. as larger driver else you need multiple drivers. | |
| Choosing Sub-woofers. Please advise ASAP. Two 12s are best but yes may take work to integrate well. 10" is good with limited range speakers like monitors. But good 12 done right still better. | |
| Choosing Sub-woofers. Please advise ASAP. Your speakers are pretty full range so you'll need 12 inch or larger to extend lower if needed at all. Two are better than one for balance across the room. | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? Well we’re making progress. At least Ethan now acknowledged that speakers can "shift" the floor. Now we’re talking! I fixed my issues in my house easily and inexpensively so I’ll leave it to Ethan to fix it as needed for his customers. At least th... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? My advice would be worry about yourself not others and be a better listener (to what people say not just the music). | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? They are his competitors. Use of their products lessens the need for his services. | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? I proved my case or at least offered good evidence. If you jump on the floor and hear a corresponding sound or feel corresponding movement guess what? Movement caused the floor to vibrate and make a sound. Or play music with a good subwoofer or ot... | |
| Just wondering... Does not cost anywhere near $32K to make a great sounding DAC.Some of the most highly regarded ones like Benchmark for example cost $1000 or so.I have an mhdt DAC that is very competitive I picked up for $300 used.So what do you get for teh extra ... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? Well, if if you think we’re delusional then its up to you to prove it not us to prove to you we are not. Becasue frankly I don’t give a rat’s ass what you think there.I’m just sharing my findings on sound that I have found useful that others might... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? It isn’t hard. Anyone can try and prove to themselves. Obviously your mind is made up. All I can say is you are definitely wrong on all counts in this case so I am not impressed. Better keep on testing. I am not in the business so I have no time o... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? No, Central Maryland.The only gear I have to do any tests is my ears. So I know its possible. It is not subtle at all, perhaps one of the clearest and most obvious differences/tweaks I have heard. The jumping test I indicated shows that it is ... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? Ethan stop by my place and we’ll have a listen as proof. Cheers!In lieu of that, in rooms where I hear a difference I can jump up and down and feel and hear floors vibrate. In ones where I don't hear a difference jumping does nothing. That pro... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? I use the isoacoustics stands tested in the article. The difference they make in my two rooms on second level with suspended plywood floors are clear and distinct. Anyone can hear it. Same stands in rooms on foundation level make no difference. Sa... |
