| iMac Combo Headphone/Optical Out Port Cable The cables on the Apple Store are all analog cables going from a stereo mini to dual RCAs. | |
| gradient revolution amp suggestion I've only used them with one amp, a Rowland Model 112, and think I get very good results.How would you compare them to the Zu Druids? | |
| Does 'Accuracy' Matter or exist ? The ref has stopped the fight, the Hwyman is barely on his feet clinging to the ropes and clearly can no longer defend himself. The Amphibianman's team has run into the ring and hoisted him upon their shoulders in a victory stance. #61 is being he... | |
| Does 'Accuracy' Matter or exist ? The main hall at Carnegie seats 2,800 people. Am I to believe that you think whether the hall is empty or full of concert goers has only a subtle impact on the sound within the hall? If you do believe such, then I respectfully disagree. The presen... | |
| Does 'Accuracy' Matter or exist ? My point is that there is no single Carnegie Hall or Ella Fitzgerald sound. Depending on how and the conditions of the recording sessions any number of Carnegie Halls could result. When you play a recording made there, how do you know which versio... | |
| Does 'Accuracy' Matter or exist ? Is that Ella's voice in 1952 singing into an RCA ribbon mic or Ella in 1964 using a Neumann condenser? Is that the sound of Carnegie Hall from the the first level under the balcony or from the second mezzanine? Are all the seats filled? Is it wint... | |
| Does 'Accuracy' Matter or exist ? Charles1dad, it's not just that he has nice equipment, but his room is carefully arranged not to significantly color the speaker output. He even has measurements to back that up. A very high quality studio monitor in a well designed/setup room wil... | |
| Best Audio Interface for Apple G5 Computer? I also assume from your comments that the audio quality from FireWire, USB or Optical should not make that much difference.Don't make that assumption. | |
| Best Audio Interface for Apple G5 Computer? If you're just getting your feet wet, then use the optical out built into the G5. Use it with a decent quality glass optical cable. I use G5s and think they are better than Minis just because they are more flexible regarding connecting hardware. I... | |
| Does 'Accuracy' Matter or exist ? Take a gander at Shadorne's system. | |
| Does 'Accuracy' Matter or exist ? Everybody is entitled to their own opinion, but not their own facts. Accuracy is about facts, liking what you hear is about opinions.The problems with the 8-track, Crown, Bose example I cited earlier isn't that I like it better, but that I say it ... | |
| Does 'Accuracy' Matter or exist ? Of course accuracy exists and it is somewhat important. Without a standard of accuracy we would have subjective chaos. Without a standard of accuracy someone could assert that their 8-track, Crown amp and Bose 901s (Series IV) sounded better and w... | |
| Has anybody heard the new Audio Research LS 27? You haven't heard the LS 27, you're perfectly happy with the LS 17 and you haven't listened to anything else since buying the LS 17 for comparison, yet you're going to buy the LS 27 because ARC makes premium value for money product. Just to be arg... | |
| Old vs. New Old is the new new. Or is it new is the old new? New is the new old? Anyway, I once read a story about how back in the mid-60s the engineers at Motown records swapped out all their tube Neumann microphones for the brand new transistor models. They... | |
| New Von Schweikert VR 33? Maineiac, there's undeniable logic to what you just posted, but in fairness to Chadnliz his post was fairly mild and easily ignored. If there really is a standard against uninformed opinionating, then 30-40% of the postings on the entire Audiogon ... |
