| Audiophile recording and playback - Tascam DA-3000 My mistake - the DA3000 does have a remote, it is just not very convenient when using the recorder as a player, selecting from a music library. You have to select files from the front panel. Get a better DAC? If I want to pass the signal "unharmed... | |
| Audiophile recording and playback - Tascam DA-3000 tgraber2 - i dont want to sound like a "format fetishist" proclaiming the value of the recorder at its top capability - good sound depends on a lot more than the format, like your write. I have been wondering, should I use the DA3000 only as a re... | |
| SME V tone arm advice Hanss T-30 (or T-60) + SME V is also a good combination. Very rigid arm + rock solid stable player. My SME V worked well on the VPI hw19 also, but the synnergy is better here. | |
| 3 best 10k speakers now imho What amp(s) are you using? Speaker sound is very much depends on the amp - speaker connection. Personally I would go for easy-driven speakers that you can use with tube amps. | |
| Good carts with SME V I agree that the arm / cart combination is very important. Ideally we would be able to listen to several combinations before buyng an expensive cart or arm. We often can’t do that; such is life. So the issue becomes, does the combo behave reasonab... | |
| Audiophile recording and playback - Tascam DA-3000 tgraber2 - rack mounted yes, well, even better, everything on its own dampened shelf, audiophile style. Trying to get the best environment for the recorder. PCM better than DSD on the Tascam? Not so in my system. DSD is the reason I bought this re... | |

| Lyra Atlas experiences Could we get this thread back on line please? The battery comment by lewm is off topic. Recently I have been able to compare DSD recordings of the Lyra Atlas, to direct vinyl playback, using the Lyra Titan i (since the Atlas is broken). The Atlas ... | |
| Vinyl recordings - best methods Bondmanp - thanks, and agree - common experience - diamonds are not forever. I also had a Thorens. On my Hanss T30 I can have two arms, and I consider it, although part of my thinking is, why do I need two arms, one is enough, I will choose the be... | |
| Audiophile recording and playback - Tascam DA-3000 Suggestions welcome - a good dsd capable dac able to read my dsd files on my home network, ethernet input.The Tascam is very attractive as an allrounder but it is really a recorder with addons for playback that are limited, and every change of rol... | |
| Audiophile recording and playback - Tascam DA-3000 Direct A/B testing confirms this. The same recording of Joni Mitchell's Hissing..., either A from the Seagate disk connected direct to the Tascam through USB, or B from Squeezebox Touch, playing the file on the ethernet connected pc (music server)... | |
| Audiophile recording and playback - Tascam DA-3000 I had 250 gb of files on my Seagate wireless plus disk, recognized by Tascam OK. I transferred 50 gb more, from my pc to the disk. I reinserted the disk in the USB contact on the Tascam. Result? The disk was no longer recognized. It came up with R... | |
| Aesthetic preamp Interesting reading - experiences of Aesthetix gear that resemble mine. mountz - yes Callisto has been on my list also, but there is a limit to how many tube-filled boxes I can have in my system - have to draw the line somewhere. So I use an Einst... | |
| How to stream sound from your turntable? First check if the USB output works into a notebook / pc? Maybe a chance to go from there? If not I would go for the Y split option, I use it one place in my system - no big deal. glennewdick - I disagree. Streaming analog is interesting if you ha... | |
| What do you think of this minimalist recording? I agree with cedargrover - this sounds good, natural, analog. Maybe a bit flat, but that may be just me, now - it is often how this type of thing sounds on first hearing. I think two things are important: 1) do everything possible in the analog do... |
