| Audiophile recording and playback - Tascam DA-3000 Thanks! I am on holiday now, and will take a look at the program later. | |
| Audiophile recording and playback - Tascam DA-3000 Hi Mark>It sounds like you do in fact have it working as a USB DAC directly from your hard drive?Yes. You can use it for playback from a large external drive formatted by Fat32format.exe. Although I have not (yet) managed to record to the drive... | |
| Preamp for Aesthetix / Atma-sphere Thanks and congrats with the Krell! In my system, I wish the FPB600 had changed to class A sooner (with less volume) but that may have been fixed in your model, or perhaps not a problem with your speakers (or perhaps - no neighbours).. | |
| Preamp for Aesthetix / Atma-sphere I think Atmasphere, above, gave a nod to the 12bh7 as the better sounding tube, and that my listening notes say the same. | |
| Preamp for Aesthetix / Atma-sphere Hi Jafox - yes, I am verifying the 'clarity' that you spoke about. My impression is that everything becomes a bit larger. So even if a 12au7 may sound prettier etc it does not reach the same level. Many thanks for further upgrade advice.I already ... | |
| Preamp for Aesthetix / Atma-sphere Trying to sum up:Audiolabyrinth: "It's not about how much a componet cost, It's what the componet does!"Agree, well said! It is shown in this thread also. By changing a tube, not so expensive, I've made an expensive tube preamp sound better. Charl... | |
| Preamp for Aesthetix / Atma-sphere As I am testing I am rediscovering vinyl - always a good sign - and now, George Harrison: Learning how to love you, from Thirtythree 1/3 (Dark horse K56319). How come this has been overlooked, while Something is regarded among the world's best pop... | |
| Preamp for Aesthetix / Atma-sphere What I find interesting about tube rolling is that the effect, in my experience, is often bigger than the effects of changing power cords, feet etc. At least it seems so in this case. I would say that the effects of changing the 12au7 tube in the ... | |
| Preamp for Aesthetix / Atma-sphere Another little test. After two days with the Telefunken 12au7, I switched to the RCA 12bh7 that measured best of the three I got recently. The effect was much like the first 12bh7 I tried (replacing CBS Hytron). The soundstage seemed a bit bigger ... | |
| Preamp for Aesthetix / Atma-sphere Thanks! My thought also. I have become more concerned with the music lately. I think its a sign that the preamp is doing its job. | |
| tube vs SS preamp Hi Milpay, "I have NEVER been in the tubeland" - that's where I was also, some years ago, but things have changed. To my ears tubed gear often sounds better. Now I have a pure tube chain. I am trying out a kind of hybrid preamp, a tube preamp with... | |
| Preamp for Aesthetix / Atma-sphere Now the Telefunken 12au7 is back in (instead of the RCA 12bh7) and is getting housewarm. I think it will be fine. Very interesting this also. Which one I prefer? Later. Listening to the Dire Straits studio albums box, I bought the last copy in the... | |
| Improve a "modern" turntable? How come it ended up under Digital?? I don't think I put it there....thanks, Erikminer...I will post a short version where it belongs! | |
| Improve a "modern" turntable? Typical areas to investigate are better feet and better cabling. The stock feet are very good, but does it sound even better on a platform? I have it directly on a heavy stone rack. I use a Kimber power cable but have not experimented much with ca... | |
| Improve a "modern" turntable? Perhaps no Hanss T30 (or T60) owners on Audiogon?My question includes more general issues, like how to get a big aluminium platter sound best. But I hope for comments from owners. At the moment, I am trying out the motor placement tweak, suggested... |
