| DSD Remastering Software Experience @lalitk I fail to see ‘obvious reasons’ to avoid upsampling.’ My DAC (Schiit Yggdrasil) upscales automatically, and my Internet Radio AAC, and 320 kps data streams sound better than many of my CDs or albums. I am highly satisfied with the quality ... | |
| David Berning live @soix Thank you for posting the link to the chat David gave. I had only known about LTA’s products from a video of their latest product, I think it was a 40 Watt integrated amplifier, but I was so impressed by both their quality of construction an... | |
| Are Their any Tube Preamp with Home Theater Bypass? @jcwilson et al, It is my understanding that the Freya+ in this situation, is functioning as a preamp. That is, the AVR sends it signal to the Freya, and the Freya passes it to the amp which powers the speakers. So with the volume turned up on the... | |
| Are Their any Tube Preamp with Home Theater Bypass? @jcwilson (and other Freya owners) You are correct about the Freya+ not converting single-ended inputs to balanced outputs in passive mode, as stated in the Owner’s Manual under the head ‘Connections.’ However, the Freya also has the unity gain bu... | |
| 5 Dumb Things Audiophiles Believes. I thought his points were well-taken. I’ve gotten a lot out of some of his videos, like the speaker placement one, the first one featuring sapphire open baffle speakers and binaural microphone setup. I suspect that when he thinks he is making simp... | |
| Another one (server) bites the dust! @lalitk I gotta say, if you own all the equipment pictured, and it is all in one residence (to paraphrase Jeff Foxworthy), you might just be an audiophile. Seriously, that is quite a collection of kit. I might have a hard time deciding what to pla... | |
| Right match Please don’t think I’m trying to insult your intelligence, but more than once, in my excitement with a new purchase, I’ve managed to confuse my inputs with my outputs. Equipment probably shouldn’t even work this way, but it tries, and sounds awful... | |
| Router for Audio Streaming @yoramguy1 I’m with you on the wireless. The wire can carry EMI/RFI noise. Wireless is the connection recommended by the manufacturer of the wireless bridge I use to stream, an Auralic Aries (original). | |
| Analogue v. Digital...again (Washington Post) @tswisla I agree. I don’t think @mulveling read the whole article, and it was a long one, but worthy; the author is a good writer. To me, it was all about his journey back into vinyl and who he met on the way, to include not only the opinionated T... | |
| Franco Serbin Accordos after one month..... I think you have to post a link. Ask your wife. Post the picture to Photo Bucket or other site and link to it in your post. I haven’t done it myself, but I am repeating instructions I have read on this site. | |
| Record collecting versus hoarding @mijostyn I had earlier copied the following quote from your earlier post above, “Nobody I know has a photograph of the first time they had sexual intercourse but I sure do remember what was playing at the time and my mind will do the rest. I have... | |
| Record collecting versus hoarding For my own part, coming to the discussion late, I purchased a collection of 700 45 RPM records from a man who was selling through the classifieds of our local newspaper. The titles were typical jukebox tunes from the 70’s through the 80’s and of d... | |
| Record collecting versus hoarding @fdroadrunner “persons I used to be” you said a mouthful there that younger persons would not comprehend. The fellow who made his son move his collection cross-country should have taken the time (and time is what it is all about) to explain how ea... | |
| ETHERNET CABLES @audphile1 +1 on this thread going south, too bad, I felt I was learning as much as the original poster | |
| Personality Type? INTJ I was told 1%. My wife loved to lament that she had married such an ‘odd’ person; I was never able to convince her how lucky she was. She had someone that 99% of others were unable to experience. 🙂 She passed over 4 years ago; wish she was he... |
