| sample rate conversion quality issues Continuing Phild's comment, I've heard that if you plan to drop a digital recording to 44K that it's best to record at a sample rate that is an even multiple of 44K. So in that case, recording at 44K or 88K would be better than 48K or 96K. Logical... | |
| Srangest ,most out there sounding music For a true original try Harry Partch. An American composer who developed his own microtonal musical scale in the 30s and wrote for it until his death in the early 70s. His compositions often combined theater along with his striking and unusual ins... | |

| Computer burner tweaks. dampening, isolation, etc I'm not sure there are any tweaks that improve how the bits are burned onto the CD. Though I have wondered if the act of copying the data to a hard drive and burning it could remove jitter induced during the manufacturing process of the source CD.... | |

| Any tips on jazz guitar trios or quartets? All the artists mentioned have laid back stuff and stuff that definitely isn't, so any previewing you can do would be worth your while.Would second Bill Frisell and John Scofield. Also various ECM artists like John Ambercrombie though they may be ... | |

Also has some of his best songs and great picking by Ry Cooder in an informal live in the studio set. IMO his best rock releases are "Riding with t... | |
| Stupid question of the day: Should I leave Amp on? Dr. Joe. My Philips 963SA DVD/SACD goes into standy mode when the power is shut off. IMHO, if something hardly draws any power it should probably be left on. Besides costing almost nothing, with little current it could take a very long time for th... | |
