| CD mastering a lost art? Tomcy6,Agreed. There are some really great recordings out there off the beaten path that don't require that big of a walk to find. One just has to widen their tastes a bit, and look outside the mainstream labels. The sonic rewards can be breathtak... | |
| USB cable..what do you have. I'm very new to computer audio. In fact, still quite ignorant of all of this. My first venture was to get a DACmini from Centrance for my iMac and Audioengine A2 speakers. When on the phone, I asked about USB cables and was told that the ones they... | |
| CD mastering a lost art? There in article over at Stereomojo.com where a recording engineer lays down the sad truth. It seems that most artists want to be the loudest in order to stand out amongst the rest while audiophiles want dynamics to better appreciate the recording... | |
| Small tear in PHY-HP driver, please help Try contacting Tony Manasian of Tonian Labs as he sells PHY speakers. If anyone knows about them, he does.http://www.tonianlabs.com/ContactUs.htm | |
| Best China made super integrated amplifiers On second thought, you might not be able to procure Audio-gd stateside anymore. PacificValve used to have some of their product but a quick look shows them not to have as large a selection anymore. You might want to contact them.Or, you can contac... | |
| Best China made super integrated amplifiers Don't forget Audio-gd.http://www.digitalaudioreview.net.au/index.php/audio-reviews/amplifier-reviews/item/276-audio-gd-c39-mk3-pre-and-c10-se-power-acss | |
| Upgrading Fuses Jeff_Jones,Point taken. But there are companies that did their homework and there are those that simply jumped on the bandwagon, diluting the process.And yes, there will be glowing testimonials from those that want to hear and then there are those... | |
| Why do NOS Tubes sound better than new tubes? I was told that new tubes aren't allowed to be made with the same rare metals that NOS tubes use. They are heavily regulated and folks high up on the food chain don't want them readily available to anyone who might want to use them for something e... | |
| Upgrading Fuses I think they are selling mass production fuses...Maybe with some makes but the HiFi Tuning fuses I use are made of ceramic instead of glass, to control resonance, use silver wire, and are cryo'd. It's not snake oil.There are enough reviews out th... | |
| Upgrading Fuses They work, but it will depend on the resolution of your system to determine just how big an improvement you'll experience. Expect to be disappointed for the first few days as they, like anything, need some time to break in. I kept my system on for... | |
| Do you understand your amplifier? I don't understand my amp so much as I think I understand the rational behind it as presented by the maker. Same for my speakers, cables, source, etc.I also tried to 'match' them as such and I think I did a pretty good job. | |
| Can Redbook CD Be Saved Taking care to improve the quality of a CD recording and mastering would go a long way towards keeping it alive and well. Wasn't there a kind of HD series of CDs some years back that used the extra, unused portion of that last bit that went some w... | |
| What did you own in the 60's? A transistor radio. | |
| Are the CD'S days numbered? Lloydelee21,Here's to hoping that the labels 'better angels in nature' see the potential and market for this. I've got a Trent Reznor NIN remastered CD that goes a long way towards making it listenable. There are so many CDs out there, begging for... | |
| Are the CD'S days numbered? My only fear is that there will be an attendant loss of QC in the making of CDs as the demand lessens. There are so many poorly made ones out there that no DAC can rescue no matter the pedigree. That's not to say that they're aren't any great ones... |
