| Green-'ening' CD's Bomarc,I'm inclined to take you up on #2 :-) Not looking for *only* a technical explanation as I know there may not be one. Still, there are plenty of bright folks who are part of this forum who's opinion I'd like to hear. If it is a 'dither effec... | |
| Green-'ening' CD's Don't know what happened to the first line of my post. Meant to be:In another post on CD treatments, in particular, marking the edges of CDs with a green pen, Sean mentioned that such markings can increase the read error rate. He concludes this is... | |
| Wash, Cut, Polish & Demagnetize Now you guys have me thinking about purchasing a CD lathe! Add various treatments to the lathe, and I'm out another $600+. So I'm left with a question: would my money be better spent applying that to a new vinyl rig? | |
| Brubeck's 'Time Out' listeners Sol, I think you got it - it's about finding a reference point to evaluate equipment performance.Mbhcid, yep, got that. It is quite subtle, but I don't know enough about the sound implications editing process to have linked the two. Interesting, b... | |
| Brubeck's 'Time Out' listeners Thanks for the follow-up Wm.Mbhcid, how do you know it's a splice @ 1:50? Not to question you, but to learn.Thanks, | |
| Brubeck's 'Time Out' listeners Ben, thanks for responding. While I appreciate a good fart joke, and do feel this hobby can push you into utter absurdity, I would like to go through this with another member of the forum.Anyway, the particular spot begins in Track 3, 'Take Five,'... | |
| HELP with Speakers for a 11 ft X 12 ft room??? Do check the Cardas site on speaker placement. His formulas got me within inches of optimal placement. A real time saver.Also, look into room treatment. Try to deaden the wall behind the speakers and add diffusion on the rear wall. I've been incre... | |
| How much Power do speakers really use ??????? As I ponder my next amp, this is a very helpfull post. Special thanks to Sean and Twl. Would like to know what are 'average' listening levels for classical, rock, acoustical guitar, etc. If this is too broad a question, would it help if I narrowed... | |
| Ikemi, ARC CD3 and Audio Mecca Mephisto What do you find lacking in the Ikemi that you would like to change? | |
| The truth about interconnects - can you handle it? Dopogue - why? Twl claims he can deliver repeatable results (90% of the time) with DBT. The point would be that a measurement can be taken (a human audition) to determine sonic performance. That has worth - now Twl (or anyone at this level of repe... | |
| Who uses long interconnect like in dealers? Kana, how would you describe the sonic differences between the balanced run against the unbalanced? | |
| Who uses long interconnect like in dealers? I too am looking into this for my set-up. But I'm plagued by the thought of effectivly having this HUGE antenna between my control unit and amp. Yikes! Since I cannot go balanced with my equipment choices, won't this degrade sonic quality? Or are ... | |
| Aktiv, or do I Pass? Thank's Gregm. Two questions. How would you contrast system 3a to 1 on sonic virtues (midrange, air, attack/decay, imaging)? How do you contrast the B&W N805 against the Katan?Thanks again, | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Have only skimmed, but this is an amazing thread.I'd like to know if anyone's heard the preamp with an Aleph? What are your thoughts of this combination? Front end is an Ikemi.Thanks, | |
| To Linn and Theta listeners... Morasp,Well, goosebump territory was an overstatement :) Just got excited and could see how coupling/isolation/dampening _can_ make a difference (something I was closed to before the golfball experiment). Since that post, I've experimented with ma... |
