| What to look for in purchasing CD-R's for recordin I'll also cast a vote for Taiyo Yuden CDR's. Simply first rate. I get mine from http://www.cddimensions.com/ | |
| homemade cables and blown tweeters There is a fair chance that someplace along the line you have acquired a high frequency oscillation that is feeding enough power to blow the tweeters. Sounds like it may be beyond your limit of hearing. It would be very interesting to hook an osci... | |
| Anyone using Nuforce Ref 9 Mono Blocks? > is this RFI probelm limited to nuforce, or does occur to all other switching ampCan't speak for any other brand, but as noted above I do not have any RFI problems with my Bel Canto S300. It is a switching amp and is located about 12" from my ... | |
| Threshold T200? > IGBT transitors were obsoleteI find it hard to believe that in a world where vacuum tubes that haven't been in production for 50 years are still available on the NOS (new old stock) market that there will be any serious problem repairing the ... | |
| Anyone using Nuforce Ref 9 Mono Blocks? I considered the Nuforce amps but noticed that 6Moons had technical difficulties (twice I believe) and the RFI has been repeatedly mentioned. I ended up auditioning the Bel Canto S300 (stereo, 150 watts per channel, 8 ohms, $1,395) and was very im... | |
| Noise from Left Channel A standard method to find out if a tube is at fault is to switch the tubes in the left channel to the right and vice versa. If the noise switches sides then you know it is probably time for some new tubes. Two caveats. First, sometimes the noise i... | |
| Half the information on CDs is analogue > How is the average person supposed to know what "sounds > good" or "sounds right" when those supposedly devoted to > "high fidelity audio reproduction" don't even know what it is?Such touching devotion to the common man! ;-)The real que... | |
| Half the information on CDs is analogue Regarding CD vs vinyl...As one who who has been actively involved in music and audio electronics since the 1960's, I get the impression that many of the modern vinyl adherents seem unaware of just how many medicore and even spectacularly bad LP re... | |
| Half the information on CDs is analogue > TONS of equilization...Digital music is not alone in the area of needing special equalization when CD's are produced. Keep in mind that in the production of all standard vinyl LP records, the RIAA equalization curve has a 40 dB range of boost... | |
| Any thoughts on the CD "trimmer" > It is not difficult to hear the changes in sound produced by > using the Audio Desk Systeme.For the technical details of the error correction of binary data storage on an audio CD, see http://www.ee.washington.edu/conselec/CE/kuhn/cdmulti/... | |
| Any thoughts on the CD "trimmer" We're still back to the issue that programming code and data are accurately delivered by CD binary code in CD players but if that code in the same format is delivering music, it becomes corrupted. As for the Krell MD10, the thing has a clear plexi... | |
| Any thoughts on the CD "trimmer" I've always found it interesting that a CD can deliver 40 million lines of code (i.e., Windows XP OS) yet cannot be counted on to accurately deliver the zeros and ones on a music CD without special procedures. The only way light can cause errors b... | |
| Contrast/compare 50W tube amps Tpsonic, any reason the Conrad Johnson MV60 (55 watts/ch with EL34 tubes) or MV60SE (60 watts/ch with 6550 outputs) aren't on your list?I have the MV60 and find it very musical with more than adequate power. (I listen to a wide range of music, tho... | |
| Best speakers under $3K for tube amps, I have a set of Spendor S5e speakers that I use with my Conrad Johnson MV60 tube amp. Very nice combo, though they are 87dB sensitivity, not 86. Spendor also makes a couple of other models at or just under your price point. They are very natural, ... | |
| Electrical properties of cables If you have a sensitive voltmeter, check the voltage being delivered through the cable, both with a load and without. I also assume you've tried a different set of cables for comparison purposes? |
