| Would someone explain what "up sampling" means and how it can affect the sound? Bombaywalla, I think that's the first time I understood someone's explanation of upsampling and remembered it minutes after reading it.:-)Thanks!All the best,Nonoise | |
| Neutral electronics are a farce... This is making what I don't know all the more difficult to comprehend. | |
| Most unusual/mesmerizing female voice. Stacey Kent. Very seductive. It's like if Grace Kelly could sing.Or maybe Kim Novak. | |
| Marantz I'd also like to add that I replaced the fuses in both my Marantz Reference integrated and SACD player and it does make a difference, for the better.All the best,Nonoise | |
| Marantz I've have the Marantz SA-15S2b and really like what I hear with it. I didn't know a SACD player could make redbook sound so much better than on a regular CD player. Before the Marantz, I had a Consonance CD player that played just standard redbook... | |
| Speakers that open up at low volume levels I would think that most high efficiency speakers would qualify. I still have a pair of Tonian Labs TL-D1s and it didn't take much for them to come alive. Being a semi-open baffle design and being just a 2-way they didn't have that deep, full range... | |
| In a lot of these threads people say without the room being treated My room has no treatment and it sounds fine. I listen in the near field with my head’s distance to the rear wall less than the circumference of said head, minimizing any reflections, obviating the need for sound absorption panels, which wouldn’t f... | |
| Recommendations? 2-Channel Audio System Speaker Cables and RCA Connects and Amp Power Cord For ICs I recommend darwincables.com and right now you can still get a deal on SCs at zuaudio.com. Both make PCs but your preferences may lay elsewhere.All the best,Nonoise | |
| Audience Au24se vs Au24sx cables If I were you, I'd wait awhile, enjoying your present set of cables and wait until someone like thecableco.com offers a broken in pair of the newer ones so you can compare at your leisure. A quick look at the ads here shows more than a few used se... | |
| ZU event (version 1) speaker cables on sale/closeout They got better. Bass is deeper and more defined. Highs are airier and still not the least shrill. Mids are completely intact with just a soupçon of warmth: your system will dictate just how much, not the cables. What they do best is completely (t... | |
| Amp for desktop setup, low volume listening This might be less than what you wanted to spend but I came across this over at another site: The Elac UB5 and Discovery Ecosystem – CES 2016The speakers have been well received so far but I can't attest to the amp.All the best,Nonoise | |
| Neutral electronics are a farce... Very refreshing and most welcome, humand. I hope you continue to contribute.Also, thanks, Al, for mentioning Bryoncunningham as I was just recently wondering what happened to him. I liked his posts.All the best,Nonoise | |
| I miss the Audio classified ads of the 70's and 80's in the newspaper Dear diary...... | |
| Is it possible to be an audiophile and be happy with what you have Of course. | |
| Desperately needed quality amp stands!! You can try Timbenation.com or Mapleshaderecords.com.Both are wood and very well made. The Timbernation amp stands might be the cost effective way to go but the quality is there nonetheless.All the best,Nonoise |
