| BEST RECORDING STUDIO I disagree with the premise of the original post. To a large extent a specific studio is irrelevant to getting a good sounding recording. Pretty much any reasonably equipped studio can produce a great sounding recording. Actually, you don't even n... | |
| The most hilarious ad ever on Audiogon? Don't buy that model! I have it from an inside source (Ralph's HVAC of Ypsilanti) that they will announce an Ultimate Reference model any day now. Without a doubt it will be a major upgrade. | |
| Balanced tube preamps w/ remote to consider? In the long run your best value would be to save up for the Atmasphere that you really want. | |
| Sounds better at home Learsfool, could you give an example of how you would mic a piano trio (piano, bass, drums)? What would be your preferred mics, how many would you use and approximately where would you try to place them? You've stated that sound engineers don't ha... | |
| Sounds better at home It may be just a matter of perspective. Most people go to live music shows to hear the music in a social setting. Only an audiophile would go to hear a "good acoustic experience". | |
| Amarra for iTunes at RMAF... Did anyone allow the Amarra software time to burn-in? | |
| New LP's made from analog or digital masters It's not uncommon during the vinyl master cutting session for there to be an analog to digital and back to analog conversion stage. This conversion is not really necessary, but many mastering houses use it to add a delay to monitor the input signa... | |
| Who asked for this? There are technical reasons why 45rpm discs could sound better than 33/⅓s, but one reason for the proliferation of 45rpms is that the number of craftsmen who know how to cut long playing sides has greatly diminished due to retirement and death. Fo... | |
| Detailed sound? Real? Amplified music requires one transducer to convert soundwaves into electrical current, another transducer to convert the electrical current back into soundwaves and an intervening system of electrical device(s) to relay the electrical signal betwe... | |
| Detailed sound? Real? Most rock music gets mixed, equalized and compressed in the studio. This doesn't happen on stageFalse. Every pop/rock commercial venue I've ever been to had some sort of mixer/PA system for music. In the pop/rock world live, unamplified sound is v... | |
| AIFF vs Apple Lossless Ripping It's not worth the effort to re-rip. Apple Lossless is supposed to be sonically equal to AIFF, although some golden ears report very slight to slight differences. Other respected listeners report no differences that they can discern. An Apple Lose... | |
| Amarra for iTunes at RMAF... Their website carries a list of converters the software will work with and they make a generic claim that it will work with most USB and Firewire converters. | |
| How to fix my detailed, accurate but BRIGHT system You'll never get the results you seek because you are not willing to address the causes of the brightness and you reject the cures. You have a very large room and you use very inefficient speakers. Your room's surfaces are very reflective, yet you... | |
| any new Beatle fans because of the remasters? Why does Chashmal respond to this post? You've repeatedly stated your opinion of the Beatles elsewhere on this site. If anything, you're beating it to death. What is the purpose of you posting here?Cyclonicman, living through the period would add ... | |
| PC, Lynx AES16 card, Berkeley DAC... What else? Go http://www.computeraudiophile.com/here for the info you seek.If I understand he buzz about the Berkeley it's about how it handles high resolution digital files, not standard Redbook streams. The Lynx card works as advertised but it is somewhat ... |
