| How to find the good CD recordings? I can't speak to audio, but in the photography world dynamic range is a big issue from film to camera sensors to monitors to printers. We obsess over histograms which show not only the dynamic range (as 'x') but also the amount of luminance across... | |
| Newbie with Tidal question. Thank you. I'll look into that.Comparing iTunes to Tidal hifi (both directly from the laptop via headphone jack) I could hear very little difference between the two. Certainly not enough to spend double the money.So the answer for me is: if runnin... | |
| CD player just tanked. George, I looked at it quickly this morning but did not see a "T" on there. I'll look again when I get home from work.On the front it does say: CD92 dCS Ring DAC and HDCD. | |
| How to get good sound out of this for music only? Answer my own question, probably incorrectly, but for whatever reason the DTS 'Music' setting sounds best to me. This is with center speaker going and subwoofer barely on.But, coming back to the room with the better system there is no comparison. | |
| CD player just tanked. I drive VIR frequently. Awesome track. The other two tracks I drive are local unknowns but still lots of fun. Barber is on my list. About a six hour drive. I'll probably drive Road Atlanta this year.Limerock and Watkins Glen would be great but I d... | |
| Newbie with Tidal question. Thanks for the response. I guess the million dollar question is: Do you need to go down the rabbit hole to get your money’s worth of Tidal’s hifi streaming? | |
| What's your favorite lyric from a song? mrdecibel, it was completely tongue-in-cheek. I always heard it as "kiss the sky" but when someone told me they heard it as "kiss this guy" I noticed that they are very very close. Although I was never a sky kisser....I don't think gin counts...on... | |
| CD player just tanked. Racing is a whole other level of expense regardless of the car compared to HPDE.I drive with NASA. They are loads of fun to run with but the racing classes are serious and you don't see too many shiny late model high branded cars.DE4, for me, is t... | |
| What's your favorite lyric from a song? "Excuse me while I kiss this guy..."Hendrix, Purple Haze"There's a bathroom on the right..."CCR, Bad Moon Rising | |
| CD player just tanked. jennerl, I tried what you recommended but no go. I’m sure I’m doing something wrong. However, there is also a like-new Onkyo home theater system with standard speaker and sub hook ups and it is 85 watts per channel so I’m going to try that for sim... | |
| Newbie with Tidal question. Well, I can say this: The SQ is much better through the laptop headphone jack than it is through the iPhone.I may compare Tidal SQ vs iTunes run to pre-amp the same why to see if I can tell a difference.The lack of a remote feature makes Tidal mu... | |
| CD player just tanked. colin, I can solder and I have a tester but I am totally helpless when it comes to electricity and probably couldn't identify or find the various parts you're talking about. I also solder like a monkey so I'd probably mess up most of the solders.... | |
| CD player just tanked. I'm warming to the sound of the Sony. I'm sure my ears/brain are playing tricks on me. But, if I come to the conclusion that it is really inferior then I'll do some research and shop around. I've been told that the CD player doesn't make a big dif... | |
| CD player just tanked. And for the record, my wife wasn't complaining really. The old system is still in use and hifi system is still in use. She just thinks its funny that two weeks ago I was happy with the old system and now I'm all fussy about SQ. | |
| CD player just tanked. See above. That's what I did. I thought that I would not hear a difference between CD players but I'm pretty sure I do. I'll plug along with the Sony but maybe I'll upgrade CD players if I keep at this.I got the Rotel/B&W system. Huge powered ... |
